M. Ressler Genealogical Database

Narrative

At least one reference had the birth date as 1405. But that would make his age at death 93, which is very long for the 1400s. See the Snively-Snavely book for a discussion (p. 3).

Maybe born about 1420 http://paf.schnebs.com/pafg35.htm#5146
Last name listed as Schnely or Snewli. Place of death listed as Thalwil, Zurich, Sw.

May have had an older brother Johannes. http://www.genealogy.com/users/e/d/w/Donna-Edwards/FILE/0018text.txt lists the following children of Steffan:

Children of Stephen Snewli and Elizabeth Elsi are:
i. Johannes Snewli, born Abt. 1405.
ii. Cleopha Schnely, born Abt. 1407.
iii. Margaritha Schnely, born Abt. 1409.
iv. Fredrich Schnely, born Abt. 1411.
v. Anna Schnely, born Abt. 1413.
1024 vi. Johannes Schnely, born Abt. 1420 in Zurich, Switzerland; died 1498 in Thalwill, Switzerland (8 miles south of Zurich); married Unknown in Thalwill.

... in which case it is the younger Johannes in the line.
