"My great-grandfathers' name was John Kubatzki and my great-grandmother's name was Catherina Kubatzki born on January 14,1835. Her maiden name was Krause."
In case it's of interest to your research, there are death notices for "Katharina Kubatcki", d. 1916 (referencing Merkel) in the local German newspapers. I noticed that John's burial is not listed online with Catharina and the Merkels. I wonder if it's because he died before 1910 (cem. records destroyed in a fire 1909, most are not reconstructed); or the grave record is listed differently; or he's not buried there? Unfortunately, I don't have any index entry for him in "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items" (1844-1950).

* BTW - both Kubatcki & Kubatzki spellings can actually sound the same depending on the language background of the speaker. And sort-of related: it's eye-opening to see grave markers in Milwaukee's St. Adalbert cemetery with a spelling like "Czimmermann" (tsimmermann).
