I assume you have pertinent information on the Kutzlebs after their 1901 arrival in the US. I have some info on John W. (the father) and wife Caroline (and a bit on her parents and siblings) from Ancestry, so if you are not in possession of same I would be glad to forward what I found. (I'm not in any way related to this family.)
