Esther bat Isaiah Katz

Unbroken Chain 3rd Edition: R' Naftali Katz, on page 535, which provides the following further explanation regarding the children:

"IMPORTANT: R. Naftali's first wife was the daughter of R. Isaiah Liberlish (Lieberl, who died in Prague, 1644), son of R. Isaac, Primator and Judge of Prague by whom Naftali had his children. R. Naftali's second wife was Dinah, daughter of R. Judah Wahl's (Walsch), son of R. Meir Wahl's (Walsch) who married Pesia, daughter of Saul Wahl.

The naming pattern of the sons only fits in with the Prague line and not the Katzenellenbogen line. Thus Naftali's son was named Isaac after Naftali's wife's father, as was a grandson (son of Perle and husband Samuel Zanwill). This Isaac Katz named his son Isaiah, after his maternal grandfather. Conversely no Katz children were named after Judah Wahl's (Walsch) or his father Meir Walsch, which would be the case had Naftali's children been from Dinah."

Chapter 5 lists the following 6 people as being children of Naftali, by his 1st wife:

G7.1 Judah Katz
G7.2 Mordecai Katz
G7.3 Haim Katz
G7.4 Phineas Katz
G7.5 Perle, married R. Samuel Zanwill, son of R. Isaac of Zolkiew....
G7.6 R. Isaac Katz....

With regard to the naming logic described above, please be aware that Dinah had a Judah (her father), a Shmuel (her 2x grandfather, Maharam), a Hindeh (a 2x ggm on mother's side), and a Phineas (a 3x ggf pm mother's side). R' Naphtali has a Judah, a Yitzakh, a Shimshon, a Perel and a Chaim (any of which could have been named as his offspring from any spouse). We do not know much aboutthe spouse 'bat Isaiah Liberles' besides that there is a Yitzakh grandfather So strictly using naming logic, only Mordechai seems to be missing from either R' Naptali or Dinah within 6 generations.

Therefore, please proceed with caution as to the offspring of R' Naftali and 'bat Isaiah Liberles". These are the profiles of persons appearing as offspring of R' Naftali and bat Isaiah who are not listed in Chapter 5 (as referenced above): Hinde Lieberman, סעריל זנביל(כ"ץ), R' Samson HaKohen, Shmuel Katz. Other profiles involved in this situation are: Rbzn. Dina Katz Heschel, Rabbi Naftali Hirsch Katz, ABD Lublin, "Peirot Genosar".
