The first record we find for Joseph he is with his parents and sisters in the 1880 Census in Hutchinson, McLeod County, Minnesota. I am unable to find Joseph in the 1885 Minnesota State Census, his parents are still residing in Hutchinson at that time. Joseph files for the intent to become a citizen in Polk County in 1884. Joseph marries Josephine Dostal in November of 1885 in East Grand Forks, Polk County, Minnesota. One of the witnesses listed on the marriage certificate is Joseph Dostal. Josephine has a brother named Joseph, her father's name on her death certificate is also Joseph Dostal - so this could have been her brother or her father.
Joseph and Josephine have their first born child, Emmie Rose Vorlicky, in 1887. She is baptized East Grand Forks, Polk County, Minnesota. Their second child, Frank Joseph Vorlicky, is born in February of 1890. Frank is born in Tabor, Polk County, Minnesota according to his military draft record. Frank is born deaf. His draft record in 1917 says he is deaf and dumb and in the 1942 draft record it says he is a deaf mute. Our next record for Joseph is a land record from the U.S. General Land Office records. Joseph acquires 160 acres of land, the record is issued in Crookston, Minnesota. It describes where the land is located and references township #153. This all makes sense when we see the land map - town 153 is Northland, Polk County, Minnesota.
Marie Vorlicky is born to Joseph and Josephine in July of 1893. The next record we find is the 1895 Minnesota State Census. Joseph is a farmer in Northland, Polk County, Minnesota. Emmie Rose Vorlicky, their first born, has passed away prior to this year. Also living with Joseph is his father, Vaclav Vorlicky. In the census Vaclav is listed as James Vorlicky. Rose Sophie Vorlicky is born the following year in 1896. I would assume Rose was named after her sister whom had passed away.
The next record the Vorlicky family is still residing, and farming, in Northland, Polk County, Minnesota. This record is the 1900 Federal Census. The next record is the land map for Northland, Polk County, Minnesota. Joseph now has 240 acres of land that he is farming.
Joseph is on the far left seated with hat. This is a hunting party picture. The date of the photograph is unknown. This would have been taken in Minnesota.
Their next child born in Henry Theodore Vorlicky in 1904. The picture below is taken around 1908 of the family.

By 1910 the family has moved to Thief River Falls, Pennington County, Minnesota. Living next door is a Dostal family, presumably relatives of Josephine's. By 1911 the family can be found on the land map for Cloverleaf, Red Lake County, Minnesota. They have 160 acres of land. He also found with 160 acres in High Landing, Red Lake County, Minnesota with another 160 acres in 1911. It is unknown whether he still owned the Northland property as well. If he did he could have had around 560 acres of land at this time. He is also found in 1915 on the land map for the town of Esther, Polk County, Minnesota with 40 more acres. James Vorlicky is born in 1910.
We find the family in Thief River Falls, Pennington County, Minnesota in the 1920 Federal Census. He is still farming. The picture below is taken in the 1920's. Joseph is on the far left. Next to Joseph is Martin Johnson, then Josephine Dostal, Rose Vorlicky, Marie Vorlicky. Standing in front on the left is Margery Schwartz and Dorothy Schwartz.
Sometime in the late 20's the family moves to Spokane, Spokane County, Washington. The family can be found there in the 1930 Census. Living with Joseph and Josephine are sons Frank and James. Also Marie and her husband Martin Johnson, Rose and her husband Arthur Schwartz with their children Margery and Dorothy.
