Voorheis in Oakland and Emmet counties MI

I am looking for ancestors of Joseph Voorheis of MI. Also descendants of his line.

I have a Frank Voorheis, b 1868 in MI, married to Estella Acker on 8 March 1893 in Holly, Oakland, MI. Frank's parents were Joseph and Jane (Clough).

Stella's father was enumerated as Rance Acker in the 1900 census, but in her marriage record as Ramon Acker.

Frank and Stella moved to Emmet county. Their daughter, Gertrude, was most likely born there. Other children of Frank and Stella were Florence, b 1895; Helen, b 1897; and Mary, b Nov 1899.

Gertrude Voorheis married Clarence B. Visscher, son of Ralph and Anna (Stewart) on 28 August 1923 in Harbor Springs, Emmet, MI. Gertrude and Clarence had a son, Donald, b 1925. By the 1930 census, this family was in Detroit MI.

Donald Visscher died in 1997 in AZ, but he is buried in Lakeview Cemetery in Emmet county MI as are his parents.
