As will be noted, Katharine's mother was Margaretha,or Margaret, Schaefer. Katharine did have a sister Veronika, or Veronica. We must consider the entry of Veronika as the given name for Katharine's mother to be an error, almost certainly on the part of the clergyman. Should a church record at some point surface, the same error will likely be there. See notes for Katharine to consider the evidence that this is in fact an error.
