- == Biography ==
=== Birth ==='''[[Wintsch-3|Katharina Wintsch]]''' was born in 1610 in Zürich, Switzerland, her father, [[Wintsch-13|Ulrich Wintsch]], was 25, and her mother, [[Glarin-1|Agatha Glarin]], was 25.
=== Marriage and Family ==='''Katharina''' had three daughters with[[Meili-4|Hans Martin Chroniclar Meili]]. I have not found a proven date for their marriage but in this time period, it is certain that they were.
=== Religion ===Hans was part of the Mennonite movement that was stirring during this period. There was unprecedented religious zeal in the world at that time and many groups had broken away from the Catholic Church with marginal success. The Protestants had come into their own sufficiently to begin prosecuting other smaller religious groups. Eventually Hans was accused of being an Anabaptist and eventually was jailed and tortured.
=== Death ===She died as a young mother in 1634 in Stallikon, Zürich, Switzerland, at the age of 24.
