Affoltern, Zürich, Switzerland, her father, Heinrich, was 39, and her mother, Catharina, was 36. She married Hans Caspar Sidler on August 22, 1747, in
Ottenbach, Zürich, Switzerland. She died on August 5, 1765, in Ottenbach,

Elisabetha Schneebeli is the daughter of Heinrich Schneebeli and Katharina Dups. She is the seventh of eight children. The Schneebeli family goes back eight generations in Affoltern, Zürich, CH. Affoltern is 3.7 miles east of Ottenbach. A bit of a walk when dating but date she did. Elisabetha Schneebeli is the second wife of Hans Kaspar Sidler born 1705. She bore one son with Kaspar Sidler whose name is Ulrich Sidler. Ulrich lived from from 1751 to 1800. To pronounce Schneebeli you pronounce the initial e's as long e's.
Elisabetha’s
son Ulrich married Verena Haberling in 1782 and they had two children: Ludwig
and Heinrich. Unfortunately Elsbeth didn't see her son's marriage or her
grandchildren. Elisabetha lived 54 years 8 months, 8 days
Death
Julius Billeter has her death date as 1710, however when I went to that page no death date was found. This was a puzzle because her 7 siblings were easily found. I then looked at her death record which says she lived 52 years. 1765 - 52 is 13, not 10. Thus I looked at the 1713 birth records and easily found her name and the date. Billeter was correct on the month and date, just not the year.
