Talk:Patrizia von Brandenstein

could this be her mother?
I came across this picture in the Vancouver Public Library collection, which names a Marguerite D'Angulo, Baroness von Brandenstein, in 1929; apparently on an auto tour with a friend Nada de Namur, whose name also suggests nobility. The other von Brandenstein in Wikipedia that's "contemporary" is Baron Otto von Brandenstein, perhaps the Baroness' father-in-law (unless she inherited, rather than married into, that name...but in which case Patricia wouldn't be her daughter). the Baron was a German baron, but perhaps from East Prussia, which could be post-WWI rendered as "Russian"....there may have been some branch of the family in Russia, other than Otto's....but wearing "von" in the Soviet Union is unlikely (noble rank=death); unless they moved to the US as refugees. Granted this is all just speculation, and it may be another branch of the family, but the name struck me (as I knew about the Brandenstein Detachment) and noting the connection between the Finnish Civil War and, roughly, Russia (despite the German origin of the name) I thought maybe worth asking....Skookum1 (talk) 02:56, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There's also Curt von Brandenstein and an Alexander Graf von Brandenstein....all related no doubt...but the "Russian parents" line has me puzzled. Also, then, does she belong in Category:Russian Americans??Skookum1 (talk) 02:59, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
