From what I found in the Wisconsin marriage index, John's parents, William Kopitzke and Lydia Feustel were married in Waushara County on June 24, 1893.

I also found William's obit and census info from the census INDEX. According to William's obit, he had 2 brothers and a sister surviving him, Fred, Gust, and Mrs. Fred Thews. The 1880 census index show that he had the following siblings:
Gustaff, Fredrick, Augusta, and Elizabeth, and his parents were Fred and Flora(line). William also had a brother, Henry, who was listed in the 1900 census index, and died in June 1931.

William and Lydia's children were: Arthur, Edwin, Hilda, Arnold, Adela, and Irene, and John.
