I have now uploaded more source documents. I am trying to clarify the lineage for Wittbrodt and Okun (Okon). The question I have is that the birth dates don't work for the actual birth date for Johann Okon, WIKITREE ID is Okon-18 , which is abt. 1843, but this does not correlate with his offspring, daughter Marianna Okun Wittbrodt, Okon-17 my great-grandmother
I've researched on Ancestry.com and other sources and am not able to clarify. Any assistance would be appreciated
Johann (John) Okon 1843–1907 Okon-18
BIRTH 31 MAY 1843 • Puck, Pomorskie, Poland (Prussia)
DEATH 01 NOV 1907 • Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA

Now uploaded, immigration documents. I also received a notice from the spouse and grandaughter of Albert Wittbrodt (Whitbrodt, Witbrodt) as follows, based in Ancestry.com where I did most of my original work before I switched to Wikitree, excerpted:
Jan 22, 2019
Hello, my name is [MK] and my wife is the granddaughter of Ed Whitbrodt who was the son of Albert Whitbrodt. We have the same wedding picture you show for Albert and Frances [DN: shown on Ancestry.com and now uploaded to Albert's profile on Wikitree] ...have additional family information about his wife. The maiden name you use for Frances is one of many spellings (it's on their wedding certificate and was in the Bay City [Michigan] newspaper). However, the more common spelling on records is Slazinski (or a very similar form). Frances died in 1958 and is buried next to Albert in Bay City (findagrave ID 29404274). Her parents were Valentine (1839-1930) and Barbara Chlebowski (1845-1906). Here is the link to Valentine's Death Certificate [behind a paywall] (https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?viewrecord=1&r=an&db=MichiganDeaths&indiv=try&h=2190814) which lists Mrs Albert Witbrodt as the informant. Here is the link to Barbara's Death Certificate (https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?viewrecord=1&r=an&db=MichiganDeaths&indiv=try&h=1111134) [also behind a paywall] which lists Valentine as the informant. The Whitbrodts seemed to randomly use Witbrodt, Wittbrodt, and Whitbrodt. I hope this helps and thank you for all the extraordinary work you have done on this family. [I have contacted this person and asked for emailed copies. -- DN)
Any help clarifying who was born and died, and when, among Johann, son Johann and Joseph (who died in the Detroit area, 1907) would be greatly appreciated.
