Found on page 623 of the Nürnberger Künstlerlexikon [ Dictionary of the Artists of Nuremberg ], edited by Manfred H. Grieb and published in 2007 :
The German original :

The English translation :
Hentz ( Heintz, Hentzs ), Hans, tinsmith, b. Nuremberg – d. 1532 Passau. Son of Lorenz, powdermaker. Married on 22 Jan. 1527 Anna Tentzel. 1526 he worked his apprenticeship with Lorenz Gruner II and was made Master. 1527 he received from his father the house at Tucherstraße 49, which in 1532, because of a debt, was legally signed by Hentz over to Martin Rosenthaler. His daughter Sibylla married on 4 Jun. 1549 the goldsmith Paulus Haßler. Lit.: Hintze, No. 57; Schornbaum, 1949 No. 1774; Kohn, NHb Sebald.
This Martin Rosenthaler would be the merchant and councilman of Nuremberg who died in 1559, the youngest brother of Ursula’s father, Edigius Rosenthaler. The Nürnberger Künstlerlexikon has several references to the Rosenthaler family of Nuremberg and one of them, Christoph, Ursula’s brother who died in 1568, has a thumbnail biography as the city’s mintmaster on page 1265. Have you seen it yet? Another is “Astrobal”. He is probably Hasdrubal, Ursula’s Evangelical brother who married into one of the Patrician families of Nuremberg. But I’m far more impressed by the fact that Ursula’s Ahnentafel is loaded with members from the Patrician families of Nuremberg, some of which have their own articles in the German Wikipedia.
