201 BIOGRAPHY:
1. Irene Petersen saw her dying in 1976 when visiting in Moscow. Also known as Manya or Mania.

2. The following undated paper was written late 1969 in Nice, France by Catherine Werblovsky Olympieff (also known as Ekaterina Werblovskaya Olympieva) at the request of Patrick Landau through his aunt Alice Nikitina. Patrick's father, Vladimir Landau, even though he was Catherine's cousin, had less knowledge on the family then Catherine. Catherine was the granddaughter of Edouard and Rebecca Herzenberg. The letter was written a couple of years before Catherine's death after she entered into an assisted care facility in Nice. The paper was recently found among personal items previously gathered about 1969 by her daughter Irene Nadia de Lanskoy Petersen. Portions of the letter were written in three languages: English, French, and Russian. Irene, in transcribing the letter, notes that the letter was hard to follow and to make sense of. Irene's transcription dated 31 Jul 2007 with her notes added in [ ].
"What concerns the father and mother of our mother's: Mother's father: Edouard Ocipovitch Herzenberg [or Gerzenberg] Edward son of Joseph Herzenberg born: in Mitava [or Mittau] not far ___, Baltic Provinces - not far from Riga. He died at 76 years of age (had diabetes and malaria) from lung congestion after flu. His wife was his cousin.
Rebecca Herzenberg also married a first cousin. I am not sure of the name of her father; she died in Moscow when I was 6 years old (70 years ago). [Death would be approximately 1899?]
They were probably married in Mitawa and came to Moscow young, because all their children were born in Moscow. The eldest 1) Elizabeth 2) Sonja [or Sonia] (Sofia) mother of Manja or Mania who now lives in Moscow, who had a sister Nadja or Nadia who was born in Moscow. Sonia's husband was Adolf Schneider - son of Aaron Schneider - who had 3 more sons: Nicolas, Alexander, Serge and a daughter Elizabeth Schneider. She got married with Martin Behr (English nationality); they had two children and lived in Moscow. Mrs. Elizabeth Behr died in London (after the Russian Revolution she lived in France, later in England.) Her brother Adolf Schneider was a brother-in-law of our mother's of course.) [This is a repeat of the above.] The Behrs had 2 children. Elisabeth Behr died in London (probably her husband Martin Behr died before.) Mrs. Behr's daughter Olga died in London about a year ago [1968-69?], her brother George Behr still lives in London is married (has 1 daughter who is married too and has 2 boys, 8 and 7.
So my mother Elisabeth was the eldest daughter of Edward and Rebecca Herzenberg born in Moscow like her sister Sonia, the next sister Flora born in Moscow. Flora, married Joseph Offenbacher, had one son Lotar (my first cousin as well as yours). She, her husband, and son died in Germany during the war of Hitler (son Lothar). [Irene notes that another family account says that Lothar committed suicide on account of the war.] [His father] Joseph Offenbacher had an older brother Vasily [William or Wilhelm] Offenbacher who married a cousin of our mother's - Fanny, daughter of Abra[ha]m (whom all children of Edward Herzenberg used to call Uncle Abraham.) He was the husband of Grandfather Edward Herzenberg's sister Theresa. His family name was also like all: Herzenberg. Theresa Herzenberg had many children - daughter Fanny, sons Ludwig, Harry, and 2 other sons and another daughter Sophia married to another Herzenberg (all those marriages were between cousins) who had three children, Robby (Robert) who lives in Sweden and 2 daughters Clara and Roberta (died in Riga - Bolshevik Revolution). [I am not sure if Clara and Roberta are correct for this family grouping.] After Flora Herzenberg, the 4th daughter was my Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg-Landau]. Then there was another one Genga (Eugenie) married Harry Taube from Riga - were killed by Hitler's army. She was the 5th daughter of Edward Herzenberg. The 6th was Lilja [Lilia] (1st wife of Uncle Max Landau - died in Davos, Switzerland from TB.) Then was another daughter Milja, died very young (she was the 7th daughter). The youngest daughter Tonya [Tonia] died in Moscow. Then there were two brothers, the oldest Ivan (John) married a French young girl from Mussidan, Dordogne, France. She was daughter of the Mayor of that town. Died in the north of Russia where - she was sent sick and was sent with her to Mourmansk (north of Russia). Uncle Vanja's [Vania, Ivan, John all same name wife Lydia died there [note her maiden name was Lydie Buisson]. Uncle Vanja died too in Bolshevik Revolution. Their 3 children: Micha (Michel) died probably in Moscow; his brother Andrei (Andre) Herzenberg and Suzanne Hindzee (Herzenberg) - 1st husband (French) Volant. She has a daughter in Toronto married in Toronto (Alja [or Alice Nikitina] knew her) who has two children, boy and girl. The father's family name is A. [Albert?] Statter - wife Lydie (Suzanne's daughter) - son Albert. [Irene's note: last known address was 33 Stonegate Road, Toronto, Canada, M8Y-1V8; phone 416-251-6295.]
There was yet other families related to us through our mother's. It was a well known dentist. His name was Kovarsky. His wife was the cousin of our mother's. They had a lot of children - 3 brothers Misha (Michael), Leva (Leon), 2 daughters Choura (Alexandra). Chura who now is same age as Suzanne [Herzenberg Hindzee] - the only one alive. I forget the name of the eldest brother deceased. Manja (Mania) in Moscow knows more about that family. What was the name of the mother cousin of our mother's-probably it was yet another of the Herzenberg family. As Alja [Alice Nikitina] will be going to Moscow she will be able to find out more form Manja [Mania]. Then there was yet another family related to the wife of our grandfather through the husband or wife Idelson. There was a girl Lisa Idelson and her brother. I think that Manja must know something about them. They lived in Moscow. I used to go see them with my mother when I was about 8 or 10 years old.
Now George Behr has written from London thanking me for my sympathy condolences on account of the death of his sister Olga Behr. She must have been older than 78 years. he thought that his aunt on his father's side, Nina Karlovna died in Moscow, as well as his cousin Leija, but I think it is relatives on the side of his father Bahr, and the cousin is perhaps of the Schneider family (it is possible that the cousin is still living). All these people lived in Moscow.
Now what concerns the Packschwer family. The one that came to see you with the Vietnamese wife has passed away. His name was Julien Packschwer born in Vitebesk, Russia. He was 72. His younger brother Saveijn (Sahva) engineer in London named himself Packshaw, died in England 3 weeks before Julien, leaving a widow (2nd marriage) and 2 children. It was the death of his younger brother that caused reaction on Julien Packshwer. He died 3 weeks after him. He was found on a street in Nice, France with a cerebral hemorrhage-fell in the street. Police took him to the hospital St. Rock where he died at 19 hours in the evening and remained in a coma. His car 2 CV (small) stayed in the parking where he had left it. It was only his Vietnamese wife [Mado] returning from Saigon 1 month after his death that was able to retrieve that car from the parking. Yet another day or two, it would have been impounded. But as it was the widow herself then came. They did not charge her anything. But as the car was her husband's-she has to wait by inheritance law to be able to sell it and divide up in 4 parts to his children. The eldest son of another marriage Leon is an eye doctor in Paris, then 3 other children. Oldest Robert in Montreal, CA; another son in ___ was in the navy for 3 years. The oldest was in the Air force, married a girl from Morocco - they are going to have a child soon. The daughter Irene married, has a little boy, the husband is serving in the military; they live in Cayrons near Vence, France in the Packshwer house. The widow/mother Mado inherited ¼ of the sum, the children ¾ divided in 4 for each of the 4 children. Through a real estate in Vence, Julien's house of 1000 sq. meters is worth 18 million francs. If the children keep the house, they will in turn need to give on fourth of the cost to the widow who also has the right to half of his monthly pension of 30,000 francs. She came to see me day before yesterday and told me all these details. So here you have it-the relatives. The mother of the Packshwer father was 1st cousin of our mother's through the daughter of the sister of our grandfather Edward Herzenberg maiden name Theresa Herzenberg died in Nice, born I think in Mitawa [Mitau], Baltic Provinces. She was buried with her husband in Nice at the Caucade cemetery.
Now I add what George Behr wrote from London that his wife Janet has seen Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg] in Monte Carlo, then he wrote about his cousin in Moscow who he thinks has passed away (he is going to find out about it from Manja-he asked their address in Monaco). She was the daughter of the oldest sister Polina Aronovna of his mother. Here is what concerns that family... [Balance of letter missing]."

202 BIOGRAPHY:
1. Kenny Petersen met her in Nice in 1985. Spouse: (Austrian); has a daughter, Lydie, living in Toronto. Per Irene Petersen, last surname was Hindzee and Volant before; she was in the French Army.
Irene Petersen notes in a 2014 email to granddaughter Martina Stotter: "She came once to Boise from Toronto to visit the Petersen family in the early 1960s. Her married names were Volant and Hindzee. She was 80 when I last saw her in Nice. I am now 81 and live in Anchorage, Alaska. Is your brother still alive and how about your mother Lydie? Your grand mother was daughter of Ivan a brother of my grandmother, I have a lot of pictures of him and his parents as well. I have a picture of you and your brother and your mom when you were little in Toronto. Where do you live? The last name was Herzenberg. Your other was French and her father was a Mayor in France."

2. Email dated 1/6/2016 from Martina Stotter who is Suzanne's granddaughter:
"l have many great memories from Oma (Suzanne). l visited her every weekend in Menton, when l was living in Cannes. l had a great time sharing her memories and enjoying her company. She was a very educated women. She spoke 5 languages -- Russian, French, Italian, Spanish & English. In her younger years days she was a ballerina, dancing in the Bolshoi ballet in Russia, then later in Paris for the very famous Ida Rubenstein. l have a number of pictures of her dancing. The last time l saw her was in 1995, when she had been hospitalized in Sospel the same town she had been living in for 15 or so years. She did not recognize us, so conversation was very limited. It was shortly after that she passed away in 1995. She was not buried as per her wishes but cremated. Suzanne lived a very long and adventurous life. From Ballerina to Translator of secret documents in the French army, a mother, and a nurse caring for the sick. What a wonderful life, what wonderful experiences she must have had. l keep all her pictures, and letters in memory of her."
Later email from Martina provides the following dates for her parents:
Lydia Louise (Volant) Stotter -- December 6, 1930 - May 5, 2005
Albert Stotter -- March 28, 1927 - Sept 3, 1992
Email dated 25 Feb 2016 concerning Martina's recent discovery of her Jewish heritage:
"All the information l am hearing about and gathering is amazing! l never knew. As a matter of fact, l only ever heard my mother mention that we had a cousin [Alice Nikitina] that was a famous ballerina, and that her brother was a famous tennis player. l did not know her name or any other details. When l lived with my grandmother Suzanne in the south of France, she showed me pictures of her brothers and mother. The oddest thing was whenever the picture included her father his face was blacked out. l remember asking her why -- she would never answer me. She never told me her true maiden name -- not even my mother knew."

4. Email dated 1/20/2016 from Martina Stotter :
"My mother was born in Strasbourg, France, December 6, 1930.
My father was born in Innsbruck, Austria, March 28, 1927.
They were married in Innsbruck Austria, in the spring of 1948.
Jean Volant was my grandfather never met him since he was divorced from Suzanne. He was a musician and travelled the French coast playing violin & clarinet in a band. l believe they divorced in 1938. He died in 1978 after being involved in a car accident and spending several years in a insanitarium.
The story l heard regarding Suzanne's husband Hindzee was that he was an officer in the French army. The marriage was arranged so that Suzanne could escape from Russia."

5. A note sent to Kerry Petersen to set up an appointment to visit while Kerry was an LDS missionary in Nice, France:
"Menton, 14 Feb 1974. Dear Kerry, What a great surprise to see you in France. I very much hope that you will come see me, if this card arrives in time. You will be able to find me this Saturday after 2 p.m. at home at Riviere [Palace], I will wait for you until 5 p.m. If you are not able to come this Saturday, then come any day in the following week. I am always available after 2 p.m., but I would prefer to receive you next Saturday, the 23rd, because it is the opening of the Carnaval, and there will be a parade with floats decorated in lemons and oranges. And especially because on Saturday you will be able to meet my grandson Robert, who has come to France to learn French. He is actually in a school in Cannes, where he boards, but he visits Menton nearly every weekend. His family lives in Toronto in Canada. We will be able to converse and even go to the Carnaval, Kerry you will be able to tell me of your life and the latest news of Irene and your family. Then, until we soon meet, dear Kerry. I am happy to see you. Affectionately, Suzanne Hindzee"

6. 1957 New Year's greeting card from Suzanne Hindzee to Irene Petersen. Image is on FamilySearch. The card is hand painted by "LV" who is certainly Lydia Volant, who also adds a note to the top of the next page. Lydia is Suzanne's daughter. Anjoute is Anna Herzenberg Landau. It is there first contact after Irene left for America. Translation:
  "Dear little Irene. [Added at top:] Best wishes for a good year from Lydie.  I was happy to receive your nice card which gave me great pleasure. I am happy to finally know your address because I had learned from Aunt Aniute that you were gone to America. But I did not know the circumstances of your departure and that gave me concern that you left all alone so far away. Also I am happy to know that you are happy, because you deserve it. You have done well to write to me since I take interest in all you do. Have you any news from Nice? Aunt Anjoute has not written to me about your mother -- I am going to write to her directly. Write to me, tell me about your life and if you need any special service, I will do my best to do it. I wish you meanwhile lots of happiness, and health in the year 1957, that you will be happy and joyous. I wait for news and hug you with all my strength. Your aunt Suzanne."

7. Christmas greeting 1958. Image on Family Search. "Dear Irene, I am writing to you from Canada. Your mom probably told you I have left to rejoin my daughter Lydie who lives at Scarborough near Toronto. You see that I will not be far from you. I am eager to know about you and your family. I hope you are happy because you deserve it. Here we are working hard. News from you gives me pleasure. Have a great Christmas and lots of happiness in the year 1959. Your aunt Suzanne. Write me: 39, Thornbeck Drive, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada."

8. Christmas card postmarked Dec. 7, 1959 from Mrs. S[uzanne] Hindzee, 356, Quebec Avenue, Toronto W. (Ontario) Canada to Irene Petersen, 1020 Gramercy Avenue, Ogden, Utah. Image on FamilySearch. This would have been when Irene with her three children returned from France:
"Dear Irene, I wish you a Merry Christmas in returning from Europe, as well as lots of happiness and health to you and all your family. I think that your mom told you that I had come here [Canada] to rejoin my daughter. Canada pleases me well but I love France more. I hope to have good news from you and perhaps to see you again one day. How old are your children? Lydie has two children; boy and girl, 4 and 2 years old. Aunt Anioute [Anna Landau] wrote to me that you have some beautiful children. I am happy for you. Affectionate regards from your cousin (or aunt) Suzanne Hindzee."

9. Letter dated 19 Feb 1960 from Suzanne Hindzee to Irene Petersen. Images of original on FamilySearch:
"Mrs. S. Hindzee
356, Quebec Ave
Toronto W
Toronto, February, 19, 1960
My dear Irene,
I cannot thank you enough for your nice letter, which reading it brought me great pleasure. Also, through your account, I am able to better know your life.
I understand that you yearn to come back to your American home, after tasting European life and seeing mom again in this charming region of Vence.
Unfortunately, life and material needs lead you and bring you, [French idiom “vous mènent et vous aménent”, in English it would probably be simpler such as “lead your way”], where we would expect the least to go.
Me too I can’t keep from yearning all the more as I am getting to know and acclimate to the American way of life. [page 2] However, what matters the most is the world we are creating or what is being created around us. And this world is your new family, your dear children (who I would like to meet), as for me, my daughter, and my grand-children’s [world] whom I love so much and for whom I continue and strive to live here.
Me too, I would be happy to see you again, since we are both on the same continent. I think we could get to meet each other, sometime in the near future. If you come here, it is very easy except for the matter of your children and the consequent travel costs. On my side, it would be easier for me to travel, being alone. Yet, my work hinders me as I started to work here in October 1958 (almost one year and a half] at Toronto General Hospital. [page 3] (My material situation obliges me). I cannot go away more than 3 days in a row (if I am “off”). But in summer I will have holidays 2 weeks + 2 days = 16 days. On this occasion, I intend to rent a cottage “up North,” in the region of the Georgia Bay. Or maybe instead, in those [regions] with non-freezing water lakes such as the water of Ontario, so that my daughter can come there with her 2 kids Robert 4 ½ years old and Martine who will be 3 years old in June. It would be wonderful if you could join us with your children. What do you think about that? I expect to do that in the month of August. If this would be doable for you, please send me your suggestions.
I would also be happy to receive on that occasion, a little picture of your family as I send you a picture of my daughter and her two children.
[In margin page 1] I sent a Christmas card to Katiocha your mom, but I did not receive an answer, which is quite unlike her. Has she changed addresses?
[In margin page 2] I will always be happy to hear from you and to write to you, though on my end, I often keep quiet, being usually very busy. Indeed. I am waiting to read more about you soon, and in the meantime, I hug you as well as your dear little ones, and forward my friendly greetings to your spouse and your family. Your cousin, Suzanne Hindzee.
[In margin page 3] Dear Irene, before I leave you, I have to tell you I often think about you because I have very good memories of you. You still are for me this charming little girl, so courageous that I used to know and who is now in her turn a brave mom…”

10. 7 Feb 1962 Letter from Suzanne Hindzee to Irène Petersen. Images of original on FamilySearch:
Envelope postmarked 16 Feb 1962 from Toronto and addressed to Mrs and Mr Jack Petersen, Hi-way 30 Motel, 7121 Fairview, Boise, Idaho, U.S.A. (address crossed out and forwarded to 7040 Rosewood in Boise.
"Mrs. S. Hindzee
40 Cadorna Ave.
Toronto 6
(Ont) Canada
Dearest Irene,
I was very happy to receive your nice Christmas card, most of all because it was bearing at latest news from you. I was asking myself how you were doing, worried that your silence meant some misfortune or hassles came your way, keeping you silent. Nevertheless, I was not quite angry at you, knowing that anyways with your three little ones; you must not have a lot of free time. I do not know if I should congratulate you for the change happening in your life even though the new situation of your husband will most certainly relieve considerably your financial burdens. However, [page 2] I can guess you regret leaving your old house, which you built through so many sacrifices and where you had your routine. So tell yourself that it is essential. Your children are growing and they will need more space… and you will get used to it and perhaps love your new place. New beginnings are always difficult, we fell isolated, knowing nobody, but little by little everything changes. That is how it went for me, though under different circumstances, since I was already older when arrived here. And I had to reorganize my life in a very different way than what I had forecasted, and I had to work in totally different conditions. However, I stay here because I love my daughter and my grandchildren, and I am afraid to be kept apart from them maybe forever. For you as for me what keeps me here is my family. As such, I would be greatly happy to see you again after so many years and changes, since we are on the same continent. If I were free, I would not hesitate to fly to Boise and get to know your charming little family and hug you all from the deepest part of my heart. Alas, the impediment [to that travel] comes from [page 3] my work at the hospital. It is very rigid; I could maybe take holidays for 4 days in row, because we get 2 days off per week. To get to Boise from Toronto it takes one day, leaving at 1 p.m. from Toronto to Chicago, then Salt Lake City, you can get to Boise by 9.50 p.m. I guess it’s even longer taking the railway. But maybe we could meet again this summer. I will be on holidays for 2 weeks (16 days). I would have liked to invite to spend these 2 weeks in the cottage I intend on renting, as I have been doing for the last 2 years at Wasaga Beach, on the coast of the Georgia Bay. It would be fun for the children who are mostly all of the same age. Robert is now 6 years old, Martine 4 ½ years old. I could watch over the children while you and Lydie go out in the evening to the movies or wherever. For you, it must be easier to come by car. I know there would be the cost of gas, but since you [page 4] would be invited, it could work as a compensation. What do you think about my idea? On my side, it looks quite attractive. Lydie will also be very happy to see you again and for the children it will be quite a treat. Wasaga is a very nice place for kids with a huge sand beach and swimming is safe. G. Bay is very large and looks quite like the Mediterranean. What do you think about that? If you make the decision to accept my offer, just tell me so I can rejoice. I can take holidays in August (at the beginning). What are your plans and those of your husband? I hope you will give me a heads up. How is your Kerry? I hope his throat ache went away and everybody is in good health. [I hope] your construction ended happily and that you feel good now in your home in Boise. I will be waiting for news from you my dear little Irene and my thoughts are with you.
[In margin] Give my kisses to your little ones and friendly feelings to your husband that I will be happy to meet. Your Aunt Suzanne."

Toronto, July 3, 1962
Dearest Irene,
It’s been long since I had some news from you – 6 months – since Christmas. I can imagine you have been very busy moving into your new house. Everything must be organized anew and it takes time to do it all. I hope you managed well and you are enjoying it now. How are you and all your family, I hope each one of you is in good health. Despite your silence, I heard from you through Katioucha (your mom). It’s her who [page 2] told me you were very busy. She also asks me if I can go see you before I go back to Europe. I would do it willingly, even though I have not decided yet the date of my departure. Alice, who wrote to me, asked if I could come in August. I do not think I would be able to go away so fast, since I still have to get rid of my furniture etc. I would be very pleased to see you before my departure, alas you are so far from us. It would take me a day to travel, even with the plane. I will get information from American Travel that I have not contacted yet. Don’t you think it would be better that we met at half point, as for example, if I went on holidays somewhere closer to you. I leave it to you for the best solution because I would really like to please your mother. And I would like to have the pleasure of meeting your husband and your two children. While waiting [margin page 2] to hear from you, I send you my kindest hugs to share with your children. Friendliest thoughts to your husband. Kindly yours, your cousin (aunt). Suzanne.
[In margin page 1] If you can, write my address in the envelope (when you answer me) in typed letters or with a typewriter, because here if the address is not written correctly, the post office does not get the letter through.”

12. Letter dated 27 Jul 1962 from Suzanne Hindzee to Irene Petersen in Boise, Idaho. Suzanne had visited Boise and this letter was written on her return to Toronto, Canada. Original on FamilySearch:
Toronto, July 27, 1962
Dearest Irene
I am writing to you directly upon my arrival to give some news about my return trip. I traveled with the train in rather good conditions (besides fleas who feasted on me) next to American navy sailorman probably off duty. He was very well educated and I could sleep in peace. I spent the rest of the time in the “Dome,” eating the delicious food that you prepared so nicely for me. Therefore, I avoided lunch and dinner in the dining-car and only went there for breakfast because I had quickly run out of tea.
I arrived in Chicago slightly late at 10:30 a.m. and it was already 11:30 a.m. C.S.T. in Chicago. As it was, when I arrived at the Greyhound station, there was only one hour to wait for the departure of the bus to Toronto. I had to [page 2] pay $17.70 -- more expensive than Canada because of the taxes. Moreover, I had to change busses in Detroit where they stopped for lunch in a charming town (all the road between Chicago and Detroit is beautiful, the landscape is charming and bucolic, with shaded villages on the shores of rivers and lakes). As I reached Detroit, I was left with 60 cents, which I spent on a coffee and a turtle toy for my little ones. I arrived at home by 4:00 a.m. and fell asleep. …. This afternoon, I had to start over and it did not start well. I called at that school where I wanted to follow a course that would have granted me a diploma though modest still a Canadian one. Alas, they told me my English skills were still insufficient and that I was too emotional. Infuriated I replied that I become very emotional when people are offensive, because without exaggerating I understand [page 3] that all this is only used as a pretext, because as we say in French, “They are prejudiced against me and since they are stubborn they did not want to back down.” All that would not have affected me, but I know that somewhere else I would be even more handicapped due to my age. Indeed the hospital is my only resource. Everything is against me staying in Canada. I phoned Lydie, she seemed happy to have me on the phone, but she told me she does not feel the courage to do anything, because she has to renounce to so many things in her life, that right now she gives up without even trying. You can imagine what I have felt when I heard these dreadful confessions. She would have liked to go see Robert on Sunday, visiting day for the children at Illahee Camp where he is staying since July 22. However, her husband cannot. I offered her to come with me but then she has to leave her husband alone on Sunday, and she does not dare to do that. What a misery!
[page 4] I went to the Toronto railway station to get a refund for the unused train ticket from Chicago to Toronto. They promised they would send me the refund in 10 days. So that in order to go see Robert in [Coboug?], I had to borrow money from my landlady, all the banks being closed. With all that, I am so sorry I could not send you back the money from Chicago. I was fortunate you provided me [with some money] because without that I would have had to wait for the train in Chicago, which would have completely exhausted me. I hope you did not have money troubles because of me. I felt remorseful with everything that happened, and I will never thank you enough for your kindness and your warm welcome. In addition, even with my current impecuniosity, I do not regret my trip, that allowed me to see you again and appreciate you. On my return from Boise I thought a lot about you and I find you have “un beau caractère” [French idiom meaning a strong personality in a positive way, literally in English “having a beautiful personality”.] and a certain maturity in your reasoning [page 5]in all of your ideas, even a moral balance very rare among young people nowadays. What I like with you is your everlasting desire to elevate yourself, it is a strength within you that guides you maybe even without you knowing it.
As I was thinking about you, I came back, alas to all my concerns here, material and moral. My project with the certified nurse’s assistant’s school went astray. They rejected my application, under the pretext that my English level and other nonsensical stuff, but I guess it is my age that allows them to refuse me. All my hopes are gone and my further chances are nonexistent. I need to start winding up my stuff. See, I am writing and I am confessing to you as with a friend, since that is what you are [for me]. I would like you to write to me in the same way. I will send you pictures, if they turn out well as soon as they are ready.
[Margin page 5] I hope I can repay my debt to you when I become “replenished.” I will also check out for soap, French coffee and the [Katioucha?] record if I can find it. Please forgive my writing. Tired, I am writing in a very uncomfortable position.
[Margin page 1] After drowning you with my news, I can leave you while waiting for news from you. Thank your husband for me and forward him my best memories and friendliest feelings. Do not forget to kiss Karen, Kerry and Kris for me, whom I found very nice children. I hug you with all my heart (Peuchère!) [French idiom from Marseille, meaning “for sure”, it used to reinforce approval or underline a statement).
With affection, your Auntie Suzanne."

13. Letter dated 17 Aug 1962 from Suzanne (Herzenberg) Hindzee in Toronto, Canada, to Irene (de Lanskoy) Petersen in Alaska. Mentions the death Anjuta (Herzenberg) Landau. The letter mentions Alice, which it probably Alice Nikitina, but Alice did not die until 1978. Original image posted on FamilySearch:
"Dear beloved Irène,
I add these few words to your mother’s letter to explain to you that she sent me that letter by mistake. At first, I did not understand and I read it, sorry. I have not heard from you. I am going through a depression crisis, the passing of aunt Aniouta being a terrible shock for me. With her gone, disappears the last person who had a sincere and motherly affection for me, a soul in which I could confide in. I am feeling very much alone.
The other aunt Aniouta, she waited for the year of Alice to die – and I will not see her anymore. I am in great sorrow.
I send you my best wishes for your birthday and with the letter of your mum.
[Forward] my friendliest feelings to your husband and “kisses” to your two little-ones.
Kisses and hugs
Suzanne."

"Mrs. S. Hindzee
166, Sunnyside
Toronto 3
(ONT) CANADA
Toronto, July 18, 1965
My dear little Irene,
I learned from your mother that an unpleasant and unexpected event happened to you. Your mother and I think you also are unhappy because your life is disorganized, broken and you have to organize it, rebuild it again in unknown circumstances. I understand your distress and I am writing to let you know that in these harsh moments, my thoughts are with you and that you have my truest compassion.
Nevertheless, I hope that you will be able to be as happy in Anchorage as you have been in Boise, we never know where happiness awaits us. Your mom wrote that you will have trouble selling your house in Boise. Couldn’t you rent it instead of selling it at a probably unsuitable time. It could be possible that one day you may be happy to be there again. Because it is such a beautiful house and it is a shame to lose it.
[page 2] Of course, I find awful these forced transfers in a private company, and I did not know it was even possible. Let it be so [French idiom “Passe encore”, meaning literally “Let it pass again”, but in English the sense is more like “I understand this situation for” or “Let it be so”], for the military who already know better and whose transfers are justified by State policy and not private interest, which is a consolation for them however deceptive it might be. However, why keep complaining.
I wish you as much courage as you have ever had until now. That you may find satisfaction and consolation within your family. God keep you in His watch and bless you. Tell yourself that you are young and that it is only one episode in your life. Better days are waiting for you.
I kindly hug you, forward my best thoughts to “Jacques” [Jack], kiss your dear little ones without forgetting the little Catherine [Kathie]. I don’t forget you though you don’t hear from me.
Your aunt who loves you. Suzanne
I am leaving America on the 8th of September. I will be in Menton around the 20th. I hope I will see your mom again in good health. Write to me if you feel like it. I will be happy to get some news from you.”

15. New Years Card dated 23 Nov 1985 from Suzanne Hindzee to Jack and Irene Petersen. Images of original on FamilySearch:
"Nice, 23 Nov. 1985. Dear Irene and Jack. Merry Christmas to you and all your family and also a very happy and peaceful New Year 1986. With my best wishes and kisses. Suzanne. Dear Irene, Thanks for your cards and the photos. They are good memories for me. Also I was happy to ___, as well as your husband and your "cadet" [son?]. I think you are pleased about your trip. So many memories for you. I telephoned Nevoussia and I [regret?] to having bothered her, she must think I am a pest. Here we have had a beautiful autumn until Nov. 15 -- Alas, at present it is going to freeze. I hope that your Christmas will be temperate. Your news gives me great pleasure. I hope all is well with you and your 11th grandchild has arrived [in the meantime?]. With my affectionate thoughts, I hug you amicably. Suzanne."

16. Manuscript in possession of Michael Landau of Monte Carlo as of 18 Sep 2023. Family history memories of Alice Landau also known as “Nikitina,” who was the sister of Vladimir Landau and the daughter of Anna Herzenberg. Translation is from French from two handwritten pages on one sheet of paper. Patrick Landau, Nikitina’s nephew, had asked her to write down what she recalled of the family history and descendants. The description is written after January 1970 because she writes that Constantin-Pierre died in January 1970. Editorial comments are [bracketed].
“[Page 1] My father’s side:
The father of my father was called Adolphe and he was born I think at Czenstohova (Poland) in 1830; he married around 1953 [misstated for 1853] my grandmother, who was named Régine. They had 4 sons and one daughter. The eldest son (1855) was Julien (Julian) born in Czenstohova who married Fanny Schaskolski, born in Riga in 1863 [handwriting garbled, may be 1865].

3. Email dated 12/29/2015 from Martina Stotter :
"Suzanne was my grandmother. Sadly, she passed backed around 1995 in the town of Sospel (south of France). I believe she was around 98 years old. l last visited her just before her passing, when she had been hospitalized. She did not recognize us anymore. She passed shortly after. Suzanne had kept the name Herzenberg a secret and would never tell Mom (Lydia) or I. It was only after her death, thorough research on the internet, and also by obtaining a book written by our distant cousin Alice Nikitina "By Myself" that l was able to obtain more information on our family`s history."
Update 10/19/2023 from Martina after discussing the 1999 date: "No, I am pretty sure my Grandmother died in 1995---2 years prior to Princess Diana. She died in the hospital in Sospel."

Patriarch: Wesley R. Grover; Wasilla Alaska Stake.
"Brother Vasilisk.Eftifeyevich Snegirev, it is in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and by the power and by the authority of the holy Melchizedek Priesthood of God which I bear, I humbly and prayerfully lay my hands upon your head, William to give unto you a patriarchal blessing that will be a beacon for you to follow throughout your life. This blessing will be a comfort and a guide to you to know what your Heavenly Father has
in mind and in store for you. Rich blessings are in store for you if you are true and faithful to the covenants that you have made with Heavenly Father when you entered into the waters of baptism.
William, you are a choice son of God and your Heavenly Father loves you. You are of the House of Israel and you come through the lineage of Ephraim who was the son of Joseph who was sold into Egypt by his brethren. If you are true and faithful to the covenants that you made when you entered into the waters of baptism and as you accepted God's holy priesthood, you will be entitled to all of the beautiful blessings that were given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
William, you had the privilege of sitting in that great council in heaven when the plan of free agency was explained and you shouted for joy when you knew that you would have the privilege of coming to this earth and having the love, kindness, and the affection of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to give you guidance and direction. You were one of the noble and great ones and you have a great mission in this life. Your Heavenly Father, in his wisdom, saw fit to hold your spirit in the pre-existence until such time as the gospel of Jesus Christ could be restored with all of its rights, privileges, powers, and blessings. With the leadership qualities that you had in the pre-existence, you have now been sent forth to help build the kingdom of God here upon this earth. You will be called and you will be chosen to serve in leadership positions in the Church and you will have the privilege of preparing well for these leadership roles.
William, I admonish you to search the scriptures because therein are the words of eternal life. You will find new insight and meaning as you ponder the meaning of the scriptures. You will find great joy and happiness as you read 'and ponder the truths therein.
You will have the privilege of receiving a call from God's chosen prophet to teach and preach this grand and glorious gospel to those that are searching for the truth. You will be a most effective missionary. Many will call you blessed because of the powerful testi­mony that you bear that Jesus Christ is the Savior and the Redeemer of the world and that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and that we are being led, guided, and directed by a prophet today. William, I bless you that you will feel the promptings of the Spirit of the Holy Ghost to guide and direct you in the path of truth and righteousness.
Your Heavenly Father has blessed you with a great gift of knowing that Jesus Christ is the Savior and the Redeemer of the world. You will be a most effective missionary when you are called. You will be able to share this grand and glorious gospel throughout your entire life with your friends, your family, and those that you associate with.
You will have a strong desire to go to the schools of higher learning. You have been blessed with a keen and alert mind and you will be able to readily understand the courses of study that you wish to pursue for your chosen vocation. You will have the privilege of dating and courting a young lady who loves you with all of her heart and you and she, together, will be desirous of going into God's holy temple and there be sealed by the power and authority of the holy priesthood for time and for all eternity. You will be blessed with a family and they will bring joy and happiness to you. You will be a good father and treat your wife as a queen and a princess. The two of you will be able to raise, rear, and care for your children and teach them the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ and how to walk uprightly before their Heavenly Father. You will know and believe that there is no other success in this life that could ever compensate for failure in the home. William, your Heavenly Father will guide, direct, and bless you as a husband, father, and patriarch. Your sons will desire to serve missions and your daughters and sons will desire to be sealed to their companion in the temple.
I admonish you to keep the commandments of God. I promise you that if you will keep the Word of Wisdom and refrain from tobacco, liquor, tea, or coffee, or any harmful substance that would hurt or mar this healthy body that your Heavenly Father has blessed you with, you will be able to run and not be weary, walk and not faint, and the destroying angel will pass by you. I promise you that if you pay your tithes and your offerings, the windows of
heaven will be opened unto you and you will be able to have blessings poured out upon you that you'll not be able to contain, not only with health, strength, love, and kindness in your home, but also financially. Now, there is honor and there is great glory awaiting you as you serve the Lord in the only true and living Church on the face of the earth today, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
William, I bless you that you will have enthusiasm to go forth and labor in the vineyard. I bless you with knowledge and a positive attitude so that people will relate well with you. You will be called upon to speak arId many will come to you and tell you that you have been most effective in changing their life for the better. You will have the privilege of working with the young men in the Church and be a great blessing in their lives in encouraging them to serve missions and to honor their parents.
After you have completed your life's mission, you will have the privilege of returning peaceably back into the presence of your Heavenly Father and your loved ones. I promise you, William, that if you will become anxiously engaged in doing genealogy work, you will have the joy and happiness of having many of your deceased ancestors names come to you in a way that will astound you and you will become a savior on Mt. Zion in doing for your loved ones a work that they cannot do for themselves.
Your Heavenly Father is pleased with your strong desire, William, to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness. If you are true and faithful in keeping the commandments, you will be blessed with the gift of healing and you will have the privilege of laying your hands upon those that are sick of mind or body and, through the power of the priest­ hood that you hold and through their faith, be able to heal them of their afflictions. I admonish you to always give honor, praise, credit, and glory to your Heavenly Father for the holy priesthood of God that he bestows upon you.
If you continue true and faithful, you will be entitled to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection pure, clean, and holy. You have been blessed with a wonderful family to show love, kindness, and concern for you and I admonish you to be obedient to their counsel and advice. After you have completed your life's mission, you will be able to join your friends, family, and loved ones and be exalted and be able to have exaltation and eternal life which is the greatest of all the gifts that God can bestow upon His choice sons.
Now, William, I admonish you to go forward and thrust in your sickle with all of your might and reap while the day lasts because the coming of our Lord and Savior is soon at hand. One of your great missions and purposes in coming to the earth at this particular time is to help prepare for the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ whose coming is soon at hand.
These blessings, these promises, and admonitions I seal upon your head by the power and authority of the holy Melchizedek Priesthood vested in me as a patriarch and I do so humbly in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen."

William, I bless you that you will feel the promptings of the Spirit of the Holy Ghost to guide and direct you in the path of truth and righteousness.
Your Heavenly Father has blessed you with a great gift of knowing that Jesus Christ is the Savior and the Redeemer of the world. You will be a most effective missionary when you are called. You will be able to share this grand and glorious gospel throughout your entire life with your friends, your family, and those that you associate with.
You will have a strong desire to go to the schools of higher learning. You have been blessed with a keen and alert mind and you will be able to readily understand the courses of study that you wish to pursue for your chosen vocation. You will have the privilege of dating and courting a young lady who loves you with all of her heart and you and she, together, will be desirous of going into God's holy temple and there be sealed by the power and authority of the holy priesthood for time and for all eternity. You will be blessed with a family and they will bring joy and happiness to you. You will be a good father and treat your wife as a queen and a princess. The two of you will be able to raise, rear, and care for your children and teach them the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ and how to walk uprightly before their Heavenly Father. You will know and believe that there is no other success in this life that could ever compensate for failure in the home. William, your Heavenly Father will guide, direct, and bless you as a husband, father, and patriarch. Your sons will desire to serve missions and your daughters and sons will desire to be sealed to their companion in the temple.
I admonish you to keep the commandments of God. I promise you that if you will keep the Word of Wisdom and refrain from tobacco, liquor, tea, or coffee, or any harmful substance that would hurt or mar this healthy body that your Heavenly Father has blessed you with, you will be able to run and not be weary, walk and not faint, and the destroying angel will pass by you. I promise you that if you pay your tithes and your offerings, the windows of
heaven will be opened unto you and you will be able to have blessings poured out upon you that you'll not be able to contain, not only with health, strength, love, and kindness in your home, but also financially. Now, there is honor and there is great glory awaiting you as you serve the Lord in the only true and living Church on the face of the earth today, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
William, I bless you that you will have enthusiasm to go forth and labor in the vineyard. I bless you with knowledge and a positive attitude so that people will relate well with you. You will be called upon to speak arId many will come to you and tell you that you have been most effective in changing their life for the better. You will have the privilege of working with the young men in the Church and be a great blessing in their lives in encouraging them to serve missions and to honor their parents.
After you have completed your life's mission, you will have the privilege of returning peaceably back into the presence of your Heavenly Father and your loved ones. I promise you, William, that if you will become anxiously engaged in doing genealogy work, you will have the joy and happiness of having many of your deceased ancestors names come to you in a way that will astound you and you will become a savior on Mt. Zion in doing for your loved ones a work that they cannot do for themselves.
Your Heavenly Father is pleased with your strong desire, William, to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness. If you are true and faithful in keeping the commandments, you will be blessed with the gift of healing and you will have the privilege of laying your hands upon those that are sick of mind or body and, through the power of the priest­ hood that you hold and through their faith, be able to heal them of their afflictions. I admonish you to always give honor, praise, credit, and glory to your Heavenly Father for the holy priesthood of God that he bestows upon you.
If you continue true and faithful, you will be entitled to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection pure, clean, and holy. You have been blessed with a wonderful family to show love, kindness, and concern for you and I admonish you to be obedient to their counsel and advice. After you have completed your life's mission, you will be able to join your friends, family, and loved ones and be exalted and be able to have exaltation and eternal life which is the greatest of all the gifts that God can bestow upon His choice sons.
Now, William, I admonish you to go forward and thrust in your sickle with all of your might and reap while the day lasts because the coming of our Lord and Savior is soon at hand. One of your great missions and purposes in coming to the earth at this particular time is to help prepare for the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ whose coming is soon at hand.
These blessings, these promises, and admonitions I seal upon your head by the power and authority of the holy Melchizedek Priesthood vested in me as a patriarch and I do so humbly in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen."

223 BIOGRAPHY:
1. Lucile wrote a very detailed and descriptive biography Don Edwin Swenson of four pages in July 1988. I have a copy on file of which some details of genealogical interest I here relate. Don was born March 16, 1904 in Tetonia, Idaho. He was ninth of eleven children born to Peter and Mary Ann Mack Swenson. He grew up in Tetonia and spent time in Twin Falls for his grade school and high school. Don's parents were religious. His father was born May 8, 1859 in Sweden where he joined the LDS church Jan. 2, 1880. He emigrated to Utah in 1882 and married Mary Ann Mack on May 17, 1883. Mary Ann's parents were born in Denmark where they joined the LDS church and emigrated to Utah in 1862. Mary Ann was born in Smithfield, Utah, Aug. 15, 1868. She was 15 when she married Peter. By 1893 they had five children, one of whom died at birth. Peter went to Sweden on his first mission 24 Dec 1893. In 1913, Peter went on a second mission to Sweden where he continued to serve until Jan. 1916 in spite of World War I. The family had to manage as best they could and were not well off. Don's mother did washing that the children gathered around the neighborhood. Don was the ninth child. The tenth child died at birth. The family moved to Salt Lake City in July 1920. Don was baptized when age eight. He served a mission from the Salt Lake City 18th ward at age 19 to Holland from Oct. 20, 1923 through March 1926. Don was active in scouting and the LDS young men's organization. He was a Seventy at the time of his death. Don had many business interests including dry cleaning, sales of dry cleaning equipment, life insurance, and part owner of some Wyoming oil wells. He enjoyed art and singing. They were married 28 Jun 1929 in the Salt Lake Temple by David O. McKay. Don died Sep. 5, 1946.

3. Per autobiography of Mary Lucile Burnhope; her husband, Don Edwin, died Sep. 5, 1946 in Salt Lake City and was buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery Sep. 9, 1946.

4. Online newspaper clipping from the Salt Lake Tribune 5 Sep 1946 (article includes photos of Mr. Swenson, Mr. Startup, and of an reenactment of the shooting scene); Kirkman's name in photo shows as Kirkham):
"S.L. Business Argument Ends in Fatal Shooting.
Ralph startup, 39, 2237 Hollywood ave., Thursday was booked "hold for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon" at police headquarters as detectives investigated the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting Wednesday evening of Don E. Swenson, 42, 324 A. st.
An asserted misunderstanding over a pending partnership between the victim and Mr. Startup led to the fatal shooting, which occurred at 6:17 p. m. at Ralph's Drive-in Valet service, 380 E. 4th south.
Shot in the right groin by a 30-30 caliber rifle bullet, Mr. Swenson was taken to Latter-day Saints hospital by police ambulance immediately after the shooting, but he died from loss of blood at 12:55 a.m. Thursday.
Victim Found on Floor
When police officers, led by Sgt. W.T. Young, arrived at the shooting scene, four minutes after the fatal shot was fired, they found Mr. Swenson lying on the floor. Mr. Startup was near the body and was covered by his own rifle held by Kirby Kirkman, 23, 723 Hawthorne ave., who witnessed the shooting.
Other witnesses were Mrs. Startup, an expectant mother; Richard J. Stromness, 34 C. st., and William J. McPhee, 31, 335 Shelmerdine ct.
Sgt. Young, assisting Lt. M.D. McGinness in the preliminary investigation, said the shooting apparently was preceded by a violent triage by Mr. Startup over the business policies of the firm. Mr. Startup and Mr. Swenson had been discussing the possibility of forming a partnership, he said. Mr. Swenson, owner of the Don E. Swenson Laundry Machine co., had been in charge of the financial side of the business for the past two weeks.
Covered With Rifle
A discussion resulted Wednesday when Mr. Swenson, in company with Mr. Kirkman and Mr. Stromness, went to the firm to remove certain machinery. Mr. Startup covered the trio with a recently purchased Winchester 30-30 rifle and told them to get out of the place.
"We stood back while Mr. Startup talked to Mr. Swenson." Mr. Kirkman said Thursday. "After we agreed to go, Mr. Startup said, 'All right, go out the front door.' "
Claims Accident
After the shooting, Mr. Startup told police "Don and I had agreed to our checking things out before he removed any equipment. I turned around and the gun accidentally went off."
Following questioning of all witnesses early Thursday morning, Lt. McGinness said facts of the case would be presented to the county attorney Thursday afternoon.
During questioning of Mr. Startup, Lt. McGinness reported Startup as saying: "I went to the shop to stop the movement of equipment at any cost."
Brandishes Gun
Startup then told investigators he had covered Mr. Swenson and his helpers with his gun, saying: "I've got a gun here that says you're not going to move anything out."
Swenson replied: "Okeh, Ralph, if that's the way you feel…"
Then, after brushed his wife aside and while hold the rifle in his hand against his right hip, the shot was fired, startup said.
Although only one bullet struck Mr. Swenson, two empty cartridges were found in the room.
This was explained by MR. Startup, who said he had fired one shell accidentally while loading the gun at his home prior to the shooting of Mr. Swenson.
Mr. Swenson was born March 16, 1904, at Tetonia, Ida., a son f Peter and Mary Ann Mack Swenson.
When the family moved to Salt Lake City Mr. Swenson attended Latter-day Saints Business college and then fulfilled a mission to Holland for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He married Lucille Burnhope June 28, 1929, in the Salt lake L D S Temple.
At the time of the death Mr. Swenson was president of the 124th quorum of seventy in the North 18th L D S ward. He had been active in Mutual Improvement Assn. work and L D S Sunday school stake board work for several years. He served as president of the 18th L D S ward M I A for many years and had been an active worker in the Boy Scouts of America.
He is survived by his widow, two sons, Don B., 15, and Claron, 5; two daughters, Carol, 12, and Bernice, 10; two brothers, Arthur Swenson, Twin Falls, Ida., and P.F. Swenson, Los Angeles, Cal., and three sisters, Mrs. Amanda Hansen, Rupert, Ida.; Mrs. Lorinda Phillips, Provo, and Mrs. Wanda Olson, Salt Lake City.
Funeral services for Mr. Swenson will be conducted Monday in the North 18th LDS ward chapel, with Gordon C. Young, bishop, in charge."
Another article in the same paper, date uncertain, but probably soon after the article above:
"S.L. Hearing Scheduled For Murder Suspect.
With rapidly blinking eyelids his only indication of nervousness, Ralph Startup, 39, 2237 Hollywood ave., appeared for his arraignment on a charge of first degreee murder Friday; and city Judge Clifford L. Ashton set his preliminary hearing for Monday at 10 a.m.
Startup is charged with a fatal shooting of Don E. Swenson, 42, 324 A st., Wednesday in an argument over business affairs.
Startup appeared in court neatly dressed and shaven. He did not look haggard.
As he left the courtroom he embraced his wife, who was weeping.
Mr. Swenson was shot in the right groin with a 30-30 rifle Wednesday at 6:17 p.m. in Ralph's Drive-In Valet Service, 380 E. 4th south, and died from loss of blood Thursday at 12:55 a.m.
Witnesses to the shooting told police the two had argued over removeal of laundry equipment from the establishment.
Startup reportedly told police he had covered Swenson and his helpers with the rifle and told them: "I've got a gun here that says you're not going to move anything out.'
He said the gun accidently dis... [article cut off].

"pardon Appeal Ends in clash.
The appeal for freedom by Elwood Ralph Startup, 38, serving a 1 to 10 year voluntary man-slaughter term in the state prison, Thursday, brought a dramatic clash between 10 persons appearing to defend and protest his application for termination of sentence.
During a public hearing before the state board of pardons at the prison, six relatives and friends of the prisoner pleaded for Startup while four opposed termination action.
Startup, who has served 11 months and six days, was convicted in the murder of Don Swenson, Sept. 4, 1946, following an arugment over the removal of machinery belong to Mr. Swenson from a valet shop owned by Startup at 4th East and 4th South.
Opposing the application was the widow of Mr. Swenson,who tearfully sobbed out her story of the last day she spent with her husband before the slaying.
The young, red-haired widow appeared accompanied by her two children, Carol, 14, and Don Jr., 16, and left the hearing weeping after finishing her statement to the board.
Dena A. Startup, mother of the prisoner; C.P. Overfield, H.B. Taylor Jr., Carl Wiess, Ralph G. Smith and A.F. Bell, appeared as character witness to plead for the release.
Upon reconvening at 1:30 p.m., the board was to hear appeals for 40 other cases asking termination or commutation of sentences..."

"Witness Says Starup looked mean.
Preliminary Hearing Opens for S. L. Murder Suspect.
Eyewitness testimony that Ralph Startup, 39, 2237 Hollywood ave., accused murderer of Don E. Swenson, 42, 324 A. st, "smelled of alcohol and appeared mean and vicious prior to the shooting" featured testimony Monday as Startup's preliminary hearing on a first-degree murder charge opened before City Judge Clifford J. Ashton.
Key witness for the state was Richard J. Stromness, 84 C. st., who was present at Ralph's Drive-in Valet service, 380 E. 4th south during the moments preceding the fatal shooting.
"When Ralph picked up the rifle I believed he would do what he threatened," Mr. Stromness testified.
The witness told the court he had gone in the cleaning establishment late on the afternoon of Sept., 4, on instructions from Mrs. Swenson to remove a pressing machine. As he started to work on the machine, he said, Startup told him to stop and he then asked Mr. Swenosn what he should do.
"Mr. Swenson came to the back of the shop and told me to continue," Mr. Stromness said. "He told me he had talked it all over with Ralph and that it was all settled."
Reached for Rifle
At that moment, the witness said, the accused man reached for a rifle lying on a near-by table and pointed it at Mr. Swenson, saying, "Swnson, I have this gun here, and I'm not afraid to blow your guts out. You're not going to move this equipment tonight."
Mr. Swenson then said, according to the witness, "What's the matter, Ralph?" and Startup continued: "You've had control here for two weeks and I haven't had an aaccounting... you're not going to leave me high and dry."
Mr. Swesnon then assured Startup he could give a complete accounting of everything, Mr. Stromness said, and when Mrs. Startup, an expectant mother, tried to intercede with her husband and take the rifle from him, he was told to stand back, that he had the situation well in hand.
"Startup had the gun in his right hand, with his finger on the trigger, and was swinging the gun back and forth covering everybody in the rooom," Mr. Stromness added. "Since picking the rifle up a few minutes before he hadn't worked the lever action."
Apparently convinced of Startup's intentions, Mr. Swenson turned to Mr. Stromness and Kirby Kirkman, 23, 723 Hawthorne ave., both of whom were working for him, and said, "Okeh, fellows, let's go," the witness stated.
At that moment the gun went off and Mr. Swenson was knocked backward onto the floor, bleeding profusely from a groin wound, Mr. Stromness said.
"I kneeled down beside him and Ralph came over and said, 'I'm sorry, Don, I didn't mean to shoot you,'" Mr. Stromness testifed.
In reviewing the events preceding the shooting, the witness said that when the accused man ordered him to stop work he noticed alcohol on Startup's breath.
"When he picked up the gun he appeared mean and vicious... I believed he would do what he said."
Other Witnesses
Other witnesses included Dr. John Howard Carlquist, 1332 Laird ave., pathologist at L D S hosital; Lawrence H. Birrell, 498-11th ave., certified public accountant; L.W. Myers, 1631-14th East, city engineer's office; Joseph Burbidge, assistant superintendent of the Salt Lake police department records bureau, and Dr. B. R. Robbins, 1176 E. South Temple.
As the hearing opened Monday morning 17 witnesses for the state were sworn in. J. Reed Tuft and Wayne L. Black, deputy county attorneys, are conducting the state's case, Startup is defended by Edward M. Morrisev."

1. Maria Vavchenko, "Left to Leningrad when married. Husband died in Odecca [Odessa?]. Anna and Vlad left in 1919+. Daughter Alice left earlier as a ballerina."

2. The following undated paper was written late 1969 in Nice, France by Catherine Werblovsky Olympieff (also known as Ekaterina Werblovskaya Olympieva) at the request of Patrick Landau through his aunt Alice Nikitina. Patrick's father, Vladimir Landau, even though he was Catherine's cousin, had less knowledge on the family then Catherine. Catherine was the granddaughter of Edouard and Rebecca Herzenberg. The letter was written a couple of years before Catherine's death after she entered into an assisted care facility in Nice. The paper was recently found among personal items previously gathered about 1969 by her daughter Irene Nadia de Lanskoy Petersen. Portions of the letter were written in three languages: English, French, and Russian. Irene, in transcribing the letter, notes that the letter was hard to follow and to make sense of. Irene's transcription dated 31 Jul 2007 with her notes added in [ ].
"What concerns the father and mother of our mother's: Mother's father: Edouard Ocipovitch Herzenberg [or Gerzenberg] Edward son of Joseph Herzenberg born: in Mitava [or Mittau] not far ___, Baltic Provinces - not far from Riga. He died at 76 years of age (had diabetes and malaria) from lung congestion after flu. His wife was his cousin.
Rebecca Herzenberg also married a first cousin. I am not sure of the name of her father; she died in Moscow when I was 6 years old (70 years ago). [Death would be approximately 1899?]
They were probably married in Mitawa and came to Moscow young, because all their children were born in Moscow. The eldest 1) Elizabeth 2) Sonja [or Sonia] (Sofia) mother of Manja or Mania who now lives in Moscow, who had a sister Nadja or Nadia who was born in Moscow. Sonia's husband was Adolf Schneider - son of Aaron Schneider - who had 3 more sons: Nicolas, Alexander, Serge and a daughter Elizabeth Schneider. She got married with Martin Behr (English nationality); they had two children and lived in Moscow. Mrs. Elizabeth Behr died in London (after the Russian Revolution she lived in France, later in England.) Her brother Adolf Schneider was a brother-in-law of our mother's of course.) [This is a repeat of the above.] The Behrs had 2 children. Elisabeth Behr died in London (probably her husband Martin Behr died before.) Mrs. Behr's daughter Olga died in London about a year ago [1968-69?], her brother George Behr still lives in London is married (has 1 daughter who is married too and has 2 boys, 8 and 7.
So my mother Elisabeth was the eldest daughter of Edward and Rebecca Herzenberg born in Moscow like her sister Sonia, the next sister Flora born in Moscow. Flora, married Joseph Offenbacher, had one son Lotar (my first cousin as well as yours). She, her husband, and son died in Germany during the war of Hitler (son Lothar). [Irene notes that another family account says that Lothar committed suicide on account of the war.] [His father] Joseph Offenbacher had an older brother Vasily [William or Wilhelm] Offenbacher who married a cousin of our mother's - Fanny, daughter of Abra[ha]m (whom all children of Edward Herzenberg used to call Uncle Abraham.) He was the husband of Grandfather Edward Herzenberg's sister Theresa. His family name was also like all: Herzenberg. Theresa Herzenberg had many children - daughter Fanny, sons Ludwig, Harry, and 2 other sons and another daughter Sophia married to another Herzenberg (all those marriages were between cousins) who had three children, Robby (Robert) who lives in Sweden and 2 daughters Clara and Roberta (died in Riga - Bolshevik Revolution). [I am not sure if Clara and Roberta are correct for this family grouping.] After Flora Herzenberg, the 4th daughter was my Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg-Landau]. Then there was another one Genga (Eugenie) married Harry Taube from Riga - were killed by Hitler's army. She was the 5th daughter of Edward Herzenberg. The 6th was Lilja [Lilia] (1st wife of Uncle Max Landau - died in Davos, Switzerland from TB.) Then was another daughter Milja, died very young (she was the 7th daughter). The youngest daughter Tonya [Tonia] died in Moscow. Then there were two brothers, the oldest Ivan (John) married a French young girl from Mussidan, Dordogne, France. She was daughter of the Mayor of that town. Died in the north of Russia where - she was sent sick and was sent with her to Mourmansk (north of Russia). Uncle Vanja's [Vania, Ivan, John all same name wife Lydia died there [note her maiden name was Lydie Buisson]. Uncle Vanja died too in Bolshevik Revolution. Their 3 children: Micha (Michel) died probably in Moscow; his brother Andrei (Andre) Herzenberg and Suzanne Hindzee (Herzenberg) - 1st husband (French) Volant. She has a daughter in Toronto married in Toronto (Alja [or Alice Nikitina] knew her) who has two children, boy and girl. The father's family name is A. [Albert?] Statter - wife Lydie (Suzanne's daughter) - son Albert. [Irene's note: last known address was 33 Stonegate Road, Toronto, Canada, M8Y-1V8; phone 416-251-6295.]
There was yet other families related to us through our mother's. It was a well known dentist. His name was Kovarsky. His wife was the cousin of our mother's. They had a lot of children - 3 brothers Misha (Michael), Leva (Leon), 2 daughters Choura (Alexandra). Chura who now is same age as Suzanne [Herzenberg Hindzee] - the only one alive. I forget the name of the eldest brother deceased. Manja (Mania) in Moscow knows more about that family. What was the name of the mother cousin of our mother's-probably it was yet another of the Herzenberg family. As Alja [Alice Nikitina] will be going to Moscow she will be able to find out more form Manja [Mania]. Then there was yet another family related to the wife of our grandfather through the husband or wife Idelson. There was a girl Lisa Idelson and her brother. I think that Manja must know something about them. They lived in Moscow. I used to go see them with my mother when I was about 8 or 10 years old.
Now George Behr has written from London thanking me for my sympathy condolences on account of the death of his sister Olga Behr. She must have been older than 78 years. he thought that his aunt on his father's side, Nina Karlovna died in Moscow, as well as his cousin Leija, but I think it is relatives on the side of his father Bahr, and the cousin is perhaps of the Schneider family (it is possible that the cousin is still living). All these people lived in Moscow.
Now what concerns the Packschwer family. The one that came to see you with the Vietnamese wife has passed away. His name was Julien Packschwer born in Vitebesk, Russia. He was 72. His younger brother Saveijn (Sahva) engineer in London named himself Packshaw, died in England 3 weeks before Julien, leaving a widow (2nd marriage) and 2 children. It was the death of his younger brother that caused reaction on Julien Packshwer. He died 3 weeks after him. He was found on a street in Nice, France with a cerebral hemorrhage-fell in the street. Police took him to the hospital St. Rock where he died at 19 hours in the evening and remained in a coma. His car 2 CV (small) stayed in the parking where he had left it. It was only his Vietnamese wife [Mado] returning from Saigon 1 month after his death that was able to retrieve that car from the parking. Yet another day or two, it would have been impounded. But as it was the widow herself then came. They did not charge her anything. But as the car was her husband's-she has to wait by inheritance law to be able to sell it and divide up in 4 parts to his children. The eldest son of another marriage Leon is an eye doctor in Paris, then 3 other children. Oldest Robert in Montreal, CA; another son in ___ was in the navy for 3 years. The oldest was in the Air force, married a girl from Morocco - they are going to have a child soon. The daughter Irene married, has a little boy, the husband is serving in the military; they live in Cayrons near Vence, France in the Packshwer house. The widow/mother Mado inherited ¼ of the sum, the children ¾ divided in 4 for each of the 4 children. Through a real estate in Vence, Julien's house of 1000 sq. meters is worth 18 million francs. If the children keep the house, they will in turn need to give on fourth of the cost to the widow who also has the right to half of his monthly pension of 30,000 francs. She came to see me day before yesterday and told me all these details. So here you have it-the relatives. The mother of the Packshwer father was 1st cousin of our mother's through the daughter of the sister of our grandfather Edward Herzenberg maiden name Theresa Herzenberg died in Nice, born I think in Mitawa [Mitau], Baltic Provinces. She was buried with her husband in Nice at the Caucade cemetery.
Now I add what George Behr wrote from London that his wife Janet has seen Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg] in Monte Carlo, then he wrote about his cousin in Moscow who he thinks has passed away (he is going to find out about it from Manja-he asked their address in Monaco). She was the daughter of the oldest sister Polina Aronovna of his mother. Here is what concerns that family... [Balance of letter missing]."

3. See FamilySearch for copy of 6 Feb. 1957 letter from Anutja (Herzenberg) Landau to Irene (de Lanskoy) Petersen. Anutja's residence 6 Blvd. d'Italie, Monte Carlo: "Dear Irene,
I was very pleased to recive news from you. I was happy to here [hear] about you, your husband and children -- I think I could not given you more information of my familly, as your mother did; because she knew much more through her mother as she was the eldest and I was the one the youngest of our familly. -- The only think [thing] I know, that I am the only one which is in life, from all 7 sisters and two brothers. -- I am very sad that I can't help you.

  "Dear little Irene. [Added at top:] Best wishes for a good year from Lydie.  I was happy to receive your nice card which gave me great pleasure. I am happy to finally know your address because I had learned from Aunt Aniute that you were gone to America. But I did not know the circumstances of your departure and that gave me concern that you left all alone so far away. Also I am happy to know that you are happy, because you deserve it. You have done well to write to me since I take interest in all you do. Have you any news from Nice? Aunt Anjoute has not written to me about your mother -- I am going to write to her directly. Write to me, tell me about your life and if you need any special service, I will do my best to do it. I wish you meanwhile lots of happiness, and health in the year 1957, that you will be happy and joyous. I wait for news and hug you with all my strength. Your aunt Suzanne."

5. Manuscript in possession of Michael Landau of Monte Carlo as of 18 Sep 2023. Family history memories of Alice Landau also known as “Nikitina,” who was the sister of Vladimir Landau and the daughter of Anna Herzenberg. Translation is from French from two handwritten pages on one sheet of paper. Patrick Landau, Nikitina’s nephew, had asked her to write down what she recalled of the family history and descendants. The description is written after January 1970 because she writes that Constantin-Pierre died in January 1970. Editorial comments are [bracketed].
“[Page 1] My father’s side:
The father of my father was called Adolphe and he was born I think at Czenstohova (Poland) in 1830; he married around 1953 [misstated for 1853] my grandmother, who was named Régine.

"Dear beloved Irène,
I add these few words to your mother’s letter to explain to you that she sent me that letter by mistake. At first, I did not understand and I read it, sorry. I have not heard from you. I am going through a depression crisis, the passing of aunt Aniouta being a terrible shock for me. With her gone, disappears the last person who had a sincere and motherly affection for me, a soul in which I could confide in. I am feeling very much alone.
The other aunt Aniouta, she waited for the year of Alice to die – and I will not see her anymore. I am in great sorrow.
I send you my best wishes for your birthday and with the letter of your mum.
[Forward] my friendliest feelings to your husband and “kisses” to your two little-ones.
Kisses and hugs
Suzanne."

227 BIOGRAPHY:
1. May 2008 email correspondence between Irene Petersen, the step sister to Artemy (Arik) Butzkoy and Geraldine Bridgewater geraldine.bridgewater@ntlworld.com , who is a grand niece of Valerie Soames, Arik's father Victor's second wife:
Irene: "I am ... daughter of Catherine Werblovsky who was married to Victor de Butzkoy and half sister to Artemy V, de Butzkoy deceased Nov. 26th 1993 in St. Helier, Jersey in the Channel Islands. I have met Rose Soames Gow in 1949 in London, Valerie's mother. Weren't they related to Churchill somehow? I do have pictures and would be glad to email some to you. By the way Victor Petrovich de Butzkoy was a Nobleman himself and had a very impressive Military career as an officer in the Csar's Army. He was an Assistant Military Attache in Washington D.C. for over a year and half, 1916-1917. His father also raised Borzoi (sp) dogs. Please tell us more about your relationship to Valerie and any other recollections and where do you live at the present time?? Who did Valerie remarry (maybe a Russian Colonel?) with and when did she pass away. I think V. Butzkoy died in the 50's."
Geraldine: "I would love to know more about Victor while he was married to Valerie and in particular I am trying to find out how the Grand Duchess Xenia became Valerie's Godmother when she entered the Russian Orthodox Church. Do you have any information on thatby any chance? I wonder how close Victor Butzkoy was with the Imperial family. For your information Valerie married Kornelius/Cornelius Pechovsky, another Cossack who she met in the church in 1946, after she divorced Victor. I presume Victor did not marry again? Kornelius Pechovsky died in 1981 and Valerie in 1985. Both were buried at the Russian Orthodox Cemetery which is I believe in Chiswick. I went to Valerie's Funeral - a very moving affair. I would love to see any photos that you have of Victor and Valerie. Do you have any of Victor in uniform? Victor - so family records show - apparently met Rosie, Valerie's mother on the battlefields when Rosie was driving an ambulance in 1914-1918 in France. He was injured and she helped nurse him back during which time they fell in love and he moved into a house in Gloucester Rd., London, with Rosie who had recently been widowed from Gilbert Soames. (I am not sure about the connection to Winston Churchill.) Victor, I believe, continued to live with Rosie through the divorce with Catherine. Their relationship became very strained and they argued a lot. In 1925/6 Victor and [Rosie's daughter] Valerie eloped! and married in December. They went to live in Nice I believe with Valerie's Uncle Harry who had a villa there. Family records say that Uncle Harry asked Victor to pay for their board and lodgings by working in the gardens, which Victor was most reluctant to do because he preferred to go to the casino and mix with other Russian Nobility. Anyway, as you may be aware, after twenty years of marriage they divorced."
Irene: "I know that my grandfather used to write from Germany to V.P. Butzkoy and also V.P.Butzkoy was trying to apply for a pension as he was in ill health and was in need of money for survival. I have sent you several pictures on several emails. I see that your email says Brighton, this is where Arik Butzkoy's son lives at the present time - Peter was born Dec. 2nd 1954 and his sister Susan born July 1959 might be in London; she has lived in Kentucky and owned many racing horses. Both are not married. Peter was once and had a son Richard. My brother used to live in Rottingdean."
Geraldine: "I was looking through the papers downloaded from Chris and Julie's website and one papragraph about Victor really stood out and apparently you were also quite astonished. I am referring to the transcription in the book - I wonder what that was that was so incredulous? Also there is a letter from your grandfaher to Victor before or just after your mother divorced him and there is the mention of £1800 pounds. I cannot read Russian but it seems to me he was angry in the letter. I was wondering whether you knew what that was about. Also just one last question if I may be so bold to ask you. In the notes I have there is an entry for Nov. 21, 1922: ' Victor P. Butzkoy Former Major of the Russian Imperial ..... has finished with distinction the complete course of the Imperial Alexander Lyceum in Petrograd with its University classes.' I wonder if you can you tell me what that means? Any light you can throw on all of this would be very helpful and in return I wll send you my completed manuscript when it is written if you would like?"
Geraldine: "Thank you for the pictures. I presume they are all of Victor Butzkoy some with Catherine and I believe that there is also a photo of Valerie. I will have to get my magnifying glass out. Isn't it amazing that we are sharing all this information? I am 55 have recently published a book about my time as the first woman dealer on the London Metal Exchange. It is called "Ring of Truth" and is available on Amazon. I am now retired after also having worked in Local Government for the last twenty years. I paint, write, and swim; and I do gardening. Valerie is my father's cousin - her mother was my grandmother's sister. I used to visit her often and we were close. Just to let you know that I have passed on some infrmation to the rest of the family and they are very impressed with Victor and his career, etc., and also now able to understand more clearly why he was always so short of money. I intend to write him up and do him justice for the family records. The truth is always so much better than family gossip! My cousin Julian Allason is looking into the name of Horstman or Horsman to find out its proper origins when he next visits his father James Allason who is now in his 90's. He was the originator of some of the stories about Victor. I shall let you all know the outcome as soon as he tells me something new. Did you ever hear any stories about Victor knowing the Grand Duchess Xenia or her husband Sandro?"

2. Email from Geraldine Bridgewater
May 26, 2008: "You asked the question whether Valerie was related to Winston Churchill and I have always grown up with the story that the Soames part of the family are part of the Churchill Family but my second cousin Julian Allason is not sure but he is sure that Valeries name was Horstman Soames and the name Horstman came from the Soames family but was not part of the surname. See below message from Julian Allason May 25, 2008: 'Yes, Horstman not Horseman via Soames but never part of the surname Dad says. Two of WSC's daughters were friends of my parents (and I talked to Mary recently). Diana, who later committed suicide, was especially close to my mother. No connection with Valerie known, although not impossible.'"

3. Email from Margaret Ball dated 26 Aug 2014: "Her name was Valerie Horsman Soames, her father was Gilbert Horsman Soames (1879-1917), the son of Arthur Wellesley Soames (1852-1934) who was, I think, a Liberal MP, and Eveline Coles, who was the daughter of Timothy Horsman Coles (hence the Horsman part of the name). I too wondered if they were connected with the Soames who are related to Churchill, but have not established a link."

4. Memory from Irene Petersen: "Valerie's mother was Victor's mistress first, than Valerie who then married him; later Valerie married a Russian guy."

229 BIOGRAPHY:
1. Mentioned as an unmarried heir to Christian Wampfler's probate in the book, "Wampler Family History 1500s - 1700s," by Fred B. Wampler, Ph.D., p. 61 has the following record extract from the Staatsarchiv in Bern, Switzerland from "Wimmis Amtsrechnung, March 1716 - March 1717" giving the 4 heirs (children) of Christian Wampfler who had reached the age of majority (14) and who were receiving part of their deceased father's assets that had not previously been converted to capital and moved out of Switzerland: "The 5th of February 1716 District Treasurer Mani paid in the name of Hans Peter Wampfler, surviving son of a citizen and district subject, living in Sparbach, and for his brother Christian, married and living at Herzheim in the Nassauw Saarbrüggishen territory; additionally, for a single brother Hans, plus their sister Madlen living in Castel, married to Samuel Methauwer in the above county. Together 12 Kronen." According to the book, the following spelling corrections need to be made from that record:
Sparbach = Sparsbach.
Hertzheim = Herbitzheim.
Castel = Keskastel.
Madlen is equivalent to Magdalena.
Mathauwer = Mettauer.
Hans, Johannes, and Johann were often used interchangeably. Also this name was traditionally in this culture used as a prename to the real first name of a male child as was Anna likewise used for daughters.

2. Book, "Wampler Family History 1500s - 1700s," by Fred B. Wampler, Ph.D., pp. 64, 76-80, summarizes his findings of vital information regarding this individual as follows: Johannes (Hans), b. 1696, d. March 20, 1776 (80 Years, 1 month) in Herbitzhiem, md. (a) Anna Magdalena (last name unknown), (b) Christina Breitenstien (Dec. 7, 1728), of Herbitzheim, dau. of Tilman Breitenstein, Christine died Aug 1755 at the age of 55 years and 5 months, (c) Ursula Jost (Feb. 3, 1757 in Herbitzheim), of Keskastel, died Sep. 21, 1793. All of the sons of Christian Senior were linen weavers by trade. Herbitzheim appears to be an adjunct to the church records of Keskastel. Johannes and Anna Magdalena had no known children. The children with his second wife are as follows:
a. Maria Eleonara, ch. in Keskastel 26 Feb 1731, md. Carl Bach from Domfessel 23 May 1749.
b. Johann Tilman, ch. in Keskastel 18 May 1734, d. 31 Jul 1735 at age of 1 yr., 3 m., and 1 day. Ch. record notes father, Johannes, as a linen weaver.
c. Anna Margareth, ch. in Keskastel 28 Jun 1738, d. 28 Dec 1740. "Anna Magdalena, single dau. of master Christian Wampfler, citizen and weaver here," is listed as a witness and would be this child's cousin.
The children of Johannes and Ursula Jost all christened in Keskastel are as follows:
a. Eva Maria, ch. 3 Mar 1757, d. 6 Jun 1758.
b. Johann Ludwig, ch. 1 Mar 1759, md. Maria Magdalena Heck in Burbach on 7 Mar 1783. She was the dau. of Peter H Jeck, farm manager in Büscherhof. Ludwig was a soldier in the Dutch Regiment from Herbitzheim.
c. Georg Adam, ch. 29 Sep 1761, d. 11 Oct 1762.
In the year 1742 a census was taken in Herbitzheim and the following entry was recorded for Johannes Wampfler: "One child, linen weaver, Reformed religion, one house, two cows, good financial shape."

MARRIAGE:
1. Some have said the marriage was 24 Jul 1785, but that is incorrect. FHL book "Pennsylvania German Marriages," by Donna R. Rush (Baltimore, 1984), p. 477, shows a marriage of John Turner and Barbara Wambler, 24 Jul 1785, in First Trinity Reformed Church in York, York Co., PA. Apparently it must be a different Barbara than ours who married 24 Jul 1785.

234 BIOGRAPHY:
1. Mentioned in the christening of grandson per book, "Wampler Family History 1500s - 1700s," by Fred B. Wampler, Ph.D., p. 83 has a photocopy and translation of the christening church record from Keskastel as follows: "August 4, 1722 Hans Peter Wampfler weaver in Hinsingen and Veronica his wife a son christend Names Hanss Peter. Witnesses: Hanss Peter Klein from Keskastel, Johannes Wampfler, Anna Elizabeth, wife of Jacob Lung of Zollingen [probable grandmother], Maria Barbara, Michael Buttner's daughter. Removed 3 May 1741." Note Hinsingen did not have a church and the family used the one at Keskastel until a church was started at nearer Altweiler by about 1726.

DEATH:
1. Book, "Wampler Family History 1500s - 1700s," by Fred B. Wampler, Ph.D., pp. 88-91 notes that in the record books of Zollingen (the home of Anna Veronica Lung, the wife of Hans Peter Wampfler, Sr., the following words were written on 12 Apr 1755: "Peter Wampfler married Veronica Lung, the heiress of Jacob Lung, who was a citizen of Zollingen. They have for about 15 years been moved to the new land." This was probably written since she was an heiress to her mother who was the last of her parents to die in 1754.

2. Book, "Wampler Family History 1500s - 1700s," by Fred B. Wampler, Ph.D., p. 64, summarizes his findings of vital information regarding this individual as follows: Johann Peter (Johann Peter), b. 1701, d. 1749 in Lancaster Co., PA., md. Anna Veronica Lung of Zollingen. Her parents were Jacob Lung (died 1746) and Anna Elisabetha Wildermuth (died shortly before Easter, 1754). All of the sons of Christian Senior were linen weavers by trade.

1. Mentions in father's probate:
A. Not mentioned as a heir to Christian Wampfler's probate per the book, "Wampler Family History 1500s - 1700s," by Fred B. Wampler, Ph.D.; p. 61 has the following record extract from the Staatsarchiv in Bern, Switzerland from "Wimmis Amtsrechnung, March 1716 - March 1717" giving the 4 heirs (children) of Christian Wampfler who had reached the age of majority (14) and who were receiving part of their deceased father's assets that had not previously been converted to capital and moved out of Switzerland: "The 5th of February 1716 District Treasurer Mani paid in the name of Hans Peter Wampfler, surviving son of a citizen and district subject, living in Sparbach, and for his brother Christian, married and living at Herzheim in the Nassauw Saarbrüggishen territory; additionally, for a single brother Hans, plus their sister Madlen living in Castel, married to Samuel Methauwer in the above county. Together 12 Kronen." According to the book, the following spelling corrections need to be made from that record:
Sparbach = Sparsbach.
Hertzheim = Herbitzheim.
Castel = Keskastel.
Madlen is equivalent to Magdalena.
Mathauwer = Mettauer.
Hans, Johannes, and Johann were often used interchangeably. Also this name was traditionally in this culture used as a prename to the real first name of a male child as was Anna likewise used for daughters.
B. Mentioned later on page 23 of the book per the following extract from the Swiss record "Wimmis (Niedersimmental) Amtsrechnungen 1717-1756 (March 1727-Feb. 1728): "The 15th March 1727 Baillif Jacob Karlen paid in the name of Hans Michel Wampfler, who has already for a considerable time been a citizen of Sparsbach from 35 Kronen capital the departure tax 3 Kronen, 12 Batzen, 2 Kreuzer. Equals in pounds: 11 Pfund, 13 Schilling, 4 Pfennige."

2. Book, "Wampler Family History 1500s - 1700s," by Fred B. Wampler, Ph.D., p. 64 and 92, summarizes his findings of vital information regarding this individual as follows: Johann Michael (Hans Michael), b. 1702-3, d. Dec. 29, 1760 in Sparsbach, md. Anna Barbara (last name unknown), d. Apr 1758 (62 years 10 months, 15 days) in Sparsbach. All of the sons of Christian Senior were linen weavers by trade. Hans Michel (1702-1703) was a witness for the christening of Hans Michel Wampfler (1724) who came to America with his father Hans Peter in 1741. It is obious that Hans Michel (1724) was named after his father's brother. Today there are still Wampflers in the small village of Sparsbach and it is very probable they are the direct descendants of Johann Michel (Hans Michel) and Anna Barbara Wampfler. The author notes he did not do a complete search for all of the children of this individual; however, a partial listing includes:
a. Johann Michel, b. Jan 1736, d. 4 May 1776 in Sparsbach at age 40y3m10d. He was an innkeeper who md. Anna Margaretha Stutzmann and who had a child named Margaretha Barbara ch. 23 Mar 1765 in Sparsbach.
b. Johann Jacob, b. May 1729, d. 12 Jan 1776 in Sparsbach at age 46y8m.

243 BIOGRAPHY:
1. New Family Search accessed 3 Aug 2009 shows a son named Christopher christened 11 Jan 1795 at Whitley By Hexham, Northumberland with father Christopher Winter.

CHRISTENING:
1. Note that Isaac lived in the Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope area which was centered near Shotley, Hunstantworth, and Hexham parishes all of which he had children christened. Christening records for Hunstanworth Parish, Durham from a parish trancription book which I reviewed Jun 2009 at the Durham Records Office in Durham City provide the following three children of Isaac, which actual records I have reviewed on FHL film 1068651:
27 Jul 1747 Kathrine Burnhope, d. of Isaac. [Note the entry immediately afterwards is the marriage of William Burnhope and Jane Short even though it is dated 3 May1747; the surname is spelled the same.]
2 Mar 1748/1749 Isaac Burnhope, s. of Isaac of Ridlehope [sic].
10 Mar 1750/1751 John Burnhope, s. of Isaac of Newbigginhope.

2. LDS IGI also shows Kathrine, d. of Isaac Burnhope, chr.27 Jul 1747 at Hunstanworth; however, it does not show any of her siblings.

3. By following the various christening records of his children, we can ascertain Isaac's residence and and the name of his wife Jane. Isaac lived in the Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope area which was centered near Shotley, Hunstantworth, and Hexham parishes all of which he had children christened. Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope do not show on most maps since they are not villages as much as a just a location. Using older maps, I was able to locate them. On modern maps such as Google, locate Hunstanworth in County Durham. Just slightly above Hunstanworth across the field is the River Derwent going from west to east. Slightly to the west of Hunstanworth, the river turns upward northwesternly while a serpentine forested hill turns southwesterly. At this first bow on the north side is Newbiggin Fell. Continue to follow the river as it then immediately turns back west and then you are at Riddlehamhope on the north side of the river. Slightly to the west of that is Riddlehamhope Fell. Note that this river is the boundary between counties Durham on the south and Northumberland on the north thereby making the Burnhopes residents of Northumberland. The meaning of the old English word Fell is from the Old Norse meaning an upland stretch of open country; a moor; or a barren or stony hill. We know that Isaac was a miller because he eventually ends up at Woodhall Mill very near Haydon's Bridge where he dies in 1781. The location of Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope on a river may have been due to work as a miller even though his early profession is not given in the christening records.
The record of his child William must appear in two separate registers (a local and bishop's trancript?) because my transcription shows the entry below whereas the LDS IGI shows the same entry without the father but with a mother Jane Burnhope listed. This establishes Jane as the wife of Isaac.
Note that in a separate transcription book for Hexham baptisms (1752-1851) which I reviewed at the Northumberland Records Office at Woodhorn Jun 2009, there were some minor differences as noted above in [brackets].
The various parish records showing the christening of Isaac's children in chronological order show:
Shotley, Northumberland:
William Burnhope, son of Isaac of Newggin(sic) hope chr. 21 Jul 1745.
Hunstanworth, Durham:
Kath. Burnhope, d. of Isaac, chr. 27 Jul 1747.
Isaac Burnhope, s. of Isaac of Ridlehope [sic], chr. 2 Mar 1748/1749 (bur in 1762 in Hexham).
John Burnhope, s. of Isaac of Newbigginhope, chr. 10 Mar 1750/1751
Hexham, Northumberland:
Mary Burnep, dau. of Isaac Burnep chr. 14 Oct 1753. [Mary Burnip, d. of Isaac of Leafield House. I have tried to find a Leafield House using Google and what I can find thus far is in Birtley, a suburb in County Durham of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne just north of Chester-le-Street. This is off the path considering Newbiggin and Whitley Mill are in close proximity to each other south of Hexham and makes one wonder if there is a closer Leafield House.]
Joseph Burnip, son of Isaac Burnip chr. 7 Mar 1756. [Isaac of Whitley Mill.]
Ann Burnip, dau. of Isaac Burnip chr. 9 Apr 1758. [Isaac of Whitley Mill.]
Hannah Burnip, dau. of Isaac Burnip chr. 23 Mar 1760. [Mary Burnip, d. of Isaac - not sure why one transcription would say Hannah and the other Mary.]

MARRIAGE:
1. The following entries are from a transcription book of the church records for Whitley Chapel, which is part of the Hexham Parish, which I copied at the Society of Genealogists during my visit of Jun 2009. I also saw a similar transcription book at Northumberland Records Office at Woodhorn which had an additional entry below which I note with an (*). The records begin in 1764 and the following transcription is for all Burnhopes for bapt., mar., and burials until 1851. Note that with Whitley only being a subservient chapel, as was the new law at about that time, the marriages ceased from Jul 1781 until Nov 1844 at which time they were in Hexham. Note that there were no Burnhopes in the burial registers for this time period. Whitley is halfway from Newbiggin where the Isaac Burnhope lived to Hexham where some of Isaac's children were christened. "The Newcastle Diocesan Gazetteer, A Guide to the Anglican Churches in Newcastle Upon Tyne and Northumberland" states: "St. Helen's Church, Whitley Chapel, Consecrated in 1764. The church building is of uncertain date. Prior to 1764, it was a Chapel of ease served by Hexham Abbey, but in that year it became a Parish Church of the district known as Hexhamshire, lying between Hexham and Blanchland. It is thought to have been consecrated in 1764 by the Archbishop of York. The church is a simple building of stone, without aisles, with a a later vestry built on to the west end..."
We can be reasonably certain that these entries deal with the children of Isaac even though it is not specifically proven except by circumstantial evidence such as the marriable ages of Isaac's children, the consistent spelling of Burnhope rather than Burnop/Burnip, the fact that William and John follow the Burnhope family trade of millers and that they are at Whitley Mill where we can place their father Isaac in the Hexham confirmation records for Isaac's children Joseph and Ann, the proximity of the location of Whitley Chapel to Newbiggin, and that the surrounding churches do not have probable entries which I determined from my "encircling" research. The following are the entries and my comments are in [brackets]:
*Bapt. 22 Jan 1769, Isaac Burnhope, son of William, Whitley Mill. [Same mill as where Isaac was in 1756 and 1758.]
Bapt. 21 Oct 1773, George Burnhope, son of John, Ordley. [The John in this entry, and the next two for Isaac and Elizabeth, is most likely the son of Isaac who apparently married before 1773 probably in different church - the church of his bride.]
Bapt. 14 Aug 1774, Isaac Burnhope, son of John, Mollerstead. [Moller is a term for mill. In the (*) transcription, it says 7Aug 1774 and Mollestead. Note that LDS IGI extracted records show this individual as John and it shows as well the other three baptisms noted herein including Isaac in 1769.]
Bapt. 1 Apr 1781, Elizabeth, d. of John, Whitley Mill. [Same mill as where Isaac was in 1756 and 1758.]
Marr. 7 Jul 1765, Chris Winter, batchelor, and Cath Burnhope, both of the church. Wit: Ralph Dixon and William Burnhope. [Cath is most likely Kathrine, d. of Isaac, and William is her older brother.]
Marr. 22 May 1768, William Burnhope and Jane Jameson, both of the church. Wit: John Burnhope and Chris Winter. [Chris Winter is most likely the husband to Kathrine Burnhope per the entry above and the brother-in-law to this William. John is most likely the younger brother to William, but he would only be 17 at the time. Isaac, the next brother under William was deceased in 1762 leaving John as the next brother in line.]
Marr. 17 May 1778, Thomas Surtees, batchelor, and Ann Burnhope, both of the church. Wit: John Surtees and Christ. Winters. [Chris Winters is most likely the brother-in-law to Ann who married her sister Kathrine per the entry above in 1765.]
It should also be noted that the nearby Slaley Church directly to the east, whose baptism records began 1703 (1722 for marriages and 1720 for burials), has no entries whatsoever for any Burnhopes until 1851 when I quit checking. The next parish to the west, Allendale does have several Burnhopes.

2. Archival Research Paper about Herzenberg Family prepared for Kerry Petersen 28 Feb 2011 and is report no. Nr. 3-P-272, 2816, 1927 N, by Latvijas Valsts Vestures Arhivs (Latvian National Archives), Slokas iela 16, Riga, LV-1007. Complete transcript is in the notes of Edouard/Elias Ocipovitch Herzenberg and the following is but a partial transcript:
"The records of the archives fond "Latvian Interior Ministry, Administrative Department," i.e. - the file on the naturalization of Leonard Taube and his wife Eugenia, set up in 1924-1925, as well as the records of the archival funds "Collection of Passport of Riga Prefecture and Riga City House Registers" contain the following information:
Eugenia Taube, daughter of Eduard, née Herzenberg, was born on April 28 (Julian calendar, Gregorian calendar - March 9) of 1878 in Moscow (her Soviet passport Nr. 29285/27283 was issued on July 22 of 1924 in Moscow, see her photo from the Latvian passport issued in 1925). She was a daughter of a Hereditary honorary citizen Eduard Herzenberg and his wife Rebecka, née Herzenberg. According to her Latvian passport Eugenia was a German, and her religion - Evangelical Reformed.
Her husband Leonhard (Leonard) Taube was born on January 27 (Julian calendar) of 1869 in Mitau (now Jelgava) (date of circumcision - February 3) (see his photo from the Latvian foreign passport issued in 1930). He was a son of a Hereditary honorary citizen of Mitau, pharmacist, merchant Robert (Ruben, Rudolf) Taube and his wife Henrietta (Jetta), née Jacobsohn. Leonhard Taube was baptized in the Evangelical Reformed church in Vilno (now Vilnius) on February 8 of 1904. For a long time Robert Taube was a member of Mitau town Board. In 1903 Leonhard Taube left for Moscow. He knew German, Russian and Latvian languages. Leonhard Taube had at least five brothers.
The marriage of Leonhard Taube and Eugenia Herzenberg was registered in Moscow and blessed by deputy superintendant, pastor of the Evangelical Reformed church Michail Yastrzhembsky on February 8 of 1904 in Vilna.
In 1920 Leonard and Eugenia appealed to Latvian Optation commission in Moscow for Latvian citizenship, they became the Latvian citizens on May 19 of 1921. However due to changes of the law of optation they were not recognized as Latvian optants.
On August 20 of 1924 Leonard and Eugenia Taube returned to Latvia. They had no children. They lived in Riga at Brivibas Street 2, apt. 13. In 1925 Leonhard and Eugenia Taube became Latvian citizens.
Since July 14 of 1932 they lived in Riga at Stabu Street 45, apt. 26 (previous address - Brivibas Street 2, apt. 14).
There is a note in the house register dated November 6 of 1941 that Leonard Taube died (date of death is not stated). There is no information that Eugenia moved to any other place, there is a note about reregistration at the same address dated November 8 of 1943...

3. The following undated paper was written late 1969 in Nice, France by Catherine Werblovsky Olympieff (also known as Ekaterina Werblovskaya Olympieva) at the request of Patrick Landau through his aunt Alice Nikitina. Patrick's father, Vladimir Landau, even though he was Catherine's cousin, had less knowledge on the family then Catherine. Catherine was the granddaughter of Edouard and Rebecca Herzenberg. The letter was written a couple of years before Catherine's death after she entered into an assisted care facility in Nice. The paper was recently found among personal items previously gathered about 1969 by her daughter Irene Nadia de Lanskoy Petersen. Portions of the letter were written in three languages: English, French, and Russian. Irene, in transcribing the letter, notes that the letter was hard to follow and to make sense of. Irene's transcription dated 31 Jul 2007 with her notes added in [ ].
"What concerns the father and mother of our mother's: Mother's father: Edouard Ocipovitch Herzenberg [or Gerzenberg] Edward son of Joseph Herzenberg born: in Mitava [or Mittau] not far ___, Baltic Provinces - not far from Riga. He died at 76 years of age (had diabetes and malaria) from lung congestion after flu. His wife was his cousin.
Rebecca Herzenberg also married a first cousin. I am not sure of the name of her father; she died in Moscow when I was 6 years old (70 years ago). [Death would be approximately 1899?]
They were probably married in Mitawa and came to Moscow young, because all their children were born in Moscow. The eldest 1) Elizabeth 2) Sonja [or Sonia] (Sofia) mother of Manja or Mania who now lives in Moscow, who had a sister Nadja or Nadia who was born in Moscow. Sonia's husband was Adolf Schneider - son of Aaron Schneider - who had 3 more sons: Nicolas, Alexander, Serge and a daughter Elizabeth Schneider. She got married with Martin Behr (English nationality); they had two children and lived in Moscow. Mrs. Elizabeth Behr died in London (after the Russian Revolution she lived in France, later in England.) Her brother Adolf Schneider was a brother-in-law of our mother's of course.) [This is a repeat of the above.] The Behrs had 2 children. Elisabeth Behr died in London (probably her husband Martin Behr died before.) Mrs. Behr's daughter Olga died in London about a year ago [1968-69?], her brother George Behr still lives in London is married (has 1 daughter who is married too and has 2 boys, 8 and 7.
So my mother Elisabeth was the eldest daughter of Edward and Rebecca Herzenberg born in Moscow like her sister Sonia, the next sister Flora born in Moscow. Flora, married Joseph Offenbacher, had one son Lotar (my first cousin as well as yours). She, her husband, and son died in Germany during the war of Hitler (son Lothar). [Irene notes that another family account says that Lothar committed suicide on account of the war.] [His father] Joseph Offenbacher had an older brother Vasily [William or Wilhelm] Offenbacher who married a cousin of our mother's - Fanny, daughter of Abra[ha]m (whom all children of Edward Herzenberg used to call Uncle Abraham.) He was the husband of Grandfather Edward Herzenberg's sister Theresa. His family name was also like all: Herzenberg. Theresa Herzenberg had many children - daughter Fanny, sons Ludwig, Harry, and 2 other sons and another daughter Sophia married to another Herzenberg (all those marriages were between cousins) who had three children, Robby (Robert) who lives in Sweden and 2 daughters Clara and Roberta (died in Riga - Bolshevik Revolution). [I am not sure if Clara and Roberta are correct for this family grouping.] After Flora Herzenberg, the 4th daughter was my Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg-Landau]. Then there was another one Genga (Eugenie) married Harry Taube from Riga - were killed by Hitler's army. She was the 5th daughter of Edward Herzenberg. The 6th was Lilja [Lilia] (1st wife of Uncle Max Landau - died in Davos, Switzerland from TB.) Then was another daughter Milja, died very young (she was the 7th daughter). The youngest daughter Tonya [Tonia] died in Moscow. Then there were two brothers, the oldest Ivan (John) married a French young girl from Mussidan, Dordogne, France. She was daughter of the Mayor of that town. Died in the north of Russia where - she was sent sick and was sent with her to Mourmansk (north of Russia). Uncle Vanja's [Vania, Ivan, John all same name wife Lydia died there [note her maiden name was Lydie Buisson]. Uncle Vanja died too in Bolshevik Revolution. Their 3 children: Micha (Michel) died probably in Moscow; his brother Andrei (Andre) Herzenberg and Suzanne Hindzee (Herzenberg) - 1st husband (French) Volant. She has a daughter in Toronto married in Toronto (Alja [or Alice Nikitina] knew her) who has two children, boy and girl. The father's family name is A. [Albert?] Statter - wife Lydie (Suzanne's daughter) - son Albert. [Irene's note: last known address was 33 Stonegate Road, Toronto, Canada, M8Y-1V8; phone 416-251-6295.]
There was yet other families related to us through our mother's. It was a well known dentist. His name was Kovarsky. His wife was the cousin of our mother's. They had a lot of children - 3 brothers Misha (Michael), Leva (Leon), 2 daughters Choura (Alexandra). Chura who now is same age as Suzanne [Herzenberg Hindzee] - the only one alive. I forget the name of the eldest brother deceased. Manja (Mania) in Moscow knows more about that family. What was the name of the mother cousin of our mother's-probably it was yet another of the Herzenberg family. As Alja [Alice Nikitina] will be going to Moscow she will be able to find out more form Manja [Mania]. Then there was yet another family related to the wife of our grandfather through the husband or wife Idelson. There was a girl Lisa Idelson and her brother. I think that Manja must know something about them. They lived in Moscow. I used to go see them with my mother when I was about 8 or 10 years old.
Now George Behr has written from London thanking me for my sympathy condolences on account of the death of his sister Olga Behr. She must have been older than 78 years. he thought that his aunt on his father's side, Nina Karlovna died in Moscow, as well as his cousin Leija, but I think it is relatives on the side of his father Bahr, and the cousin is perhaps of the Schneider family (it is possible that the cousin is still living). All these people lived in Moscow.
Now what concerns the Packschwer family. The one that came to see you with the Vietnamese wife has passed away. His name was Julien Packschwer born in Vitebesk, Russia. He was 72. His younger brother Saveijn (Sahva) engineer in London named himself Packshaw, died in England 3 weeks before Julien, leaving a widow (2nd marriage) and 2 children. It was the death of his younger brother that caused reaction on Julien Packshwer. He died 3 weeks after him. He was found on a street in Nice, France with a cerebral hemorrhage-fell in the street. Police took him to the hospital St. Rock where he died at 19 hours in the evening and remained in a coma. His car 2 CV (small) stayed in the parking where he had left it. It was only his Vietnamese wife [Mado] returning from Saigon 1 month after his death that was able to retrieve that car from the parking. Yet another day or two, it would have been impounded. But as it was the widow herself then came. They did not charge her anything. But as the car was her husband's-she has to wait by inheritance law to be able to sell it and divide up in 4 parts to his children. The eldest son of another marriage Leon is an eye doctor in Paris, then 3 other children. Oldest Robert in Montreal, CA; another son in ___ was in the navy for 3 years. The oldest was in the Air force, married a girl from Morocco - they are going to have a child soon. The daughter Irene married, has a little boy, the husband is serving in the military; they live in Cayrons near Vence, France in the Packshwer house. The widow/mother Mado inherited ¼ of the sum, the children ¾ divided in 4 for each of the 4 children. Through a real estate in Vence, Julien's house of 1000 sq. meters is worth 18 million francs. If the children keep the house, they will in turn need to give on fourth of the cost to the widow who also has the right to half of his monthly pension of 30,000 francs. She came to see me day before yesterday and told me all these details. So here you have it-the relatives. The mother of the Packshwer father was 1st cousin of our mother's through the daughter of the sister of our grandfather Edward Herzenberg maiden name Theresa Herzenberg died in Nice, born I think in Mitawa [Mitau], Baltic Provinces. She was buried with her husband in Nice at the Caucade cemetery.
Now I add what George Behr wrote from London that his wife Janet has seen Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg] in Monte Carlo, then he wrote about his cousin in Moscow who he thinks has passed away (he is going to find out about it from Manja-he asked their address in Monaco). She was the daughter of the oldest sister Polina Aronovna of his mother. Here is what concerns that family... [Balance of letter missing]."

4. Manuscript in possession of Michael Landau of Monte Carlo as of 18 Sep 2023. Family history memories of Alice Landau also known as “Nikitina,” who was the sister of Vladimir Landau and the daughter of Anna Herzenberg. Translation is from French from two handwritten pages on one sheet of paper. Patrick Landau, Nikitina’s nephew, had asked her to write down what she recalled of the family history and descendants. The description is written after January 1970 because she writes that Constantin-Pierre died in January 1970. Editorial comments are [bracketed].
“[Page 1] My father’s side:
The father of my father was called Adolphe and he was born I think at Czenstohova (Poland) in 1830; he married around 1953 [misstated for 1853] my grandmother, who was named Régine. They had 4 sons and one daughter. The eldest son (1855) was Julien (Julian) born in Czenstohova who married Fanny Schaskolski, born in Riga in 1863 [handwriting garbled, may be 1865]. They had 2 sons: The youngest one Constantin-Pierre, born in Petersburg in 1893, married in 1912 with Miss Banzer had a son Youri (George) born in 1914 who is married and lives in Toulouse [France]. He had 2 sons. Constantin-Pierre remarried to Miss Tronsevitch and again another time [his third]. He died in Belgium in January 1970. The first son of Julien, Theodor was born in 1890. He married a woman from Vienna in 1943 and had a daughter. Theodor died in 1965. The second son of Adolph, Gustave was born in Czenstohova and went to the USA before the war in
1914. He had 7 sons and one daughter. I know 3 sons: Adam was born in Warsaw in 1892, Rom[?] born in Warsaw in 1894 and Walter born in New York in 1906. I don’t know the others. The third son, my father Maximilian was born April 1st 1870 in Czenstohova and died in Odessa in 1919 (added in between lines). He married Anne Herzenberg in 1899, born in 1978 [miswritten, 1878] in Moscow and had a daughter Alice-Régine [Nikitina] born in 1900 February 21st and Vladimir born in 1902 March 29 both in St. Petersburg. Vladimir, your father, married in 1945 with Miss Janine Regnard born in 1916 in Paris and you were born at Boulogne s/Seine [Boulogne-sur-Seine] September 5, 1945. The 4th son of Adolph – Stanislas was born in 1876 at Lodz. He was married to Miss Lidia ? and had 3 sons: John born in 1905, Bronislav born in 1907 and Anton born in 1914. Stanislas and Lidia were killed in Poland. Their sons were living in France.
The daughter of Adolph: Evelyn was born in 1878 at Lodz (Poland) and married a Russian general Avinovitzki in 1903. Both are dead, I don’t know where or when.
The only living parent [relative] that I know of is Nicolas Landau, antiquary in Paris who is the son of my father’s cousin. He is 80 years old and I think he can give more information on the Landau family!
My mother’s side:
The father of my mother was named Edouard Herzenberg. He was born around 1845 and died in 1910 in Moscow. He was married, but I think the name of my grandmother was Herzenberg too. She died in 1904 in Moscow. They had 7 daughters and 2 sons:
1) Sophie, the eldest born in 1863, married had 2 daughters Marie and Nadia. Nadia is dead and Marie lives in Moscow. She is married and has a married daughter, who has a daughter.
[Page 2]
2nd daughter Elizabeth born in 1865 in Moscow, married Adolph Werblovsky and had a daughter Catherine who married in 1913 Victor Buzkoy who died in England in 1945. Their son Arik was born in St. Petersburg in 1914, he is married to Julie and has a son and a daughter and lives in Malta. Catherine lives in Nice. Elisabeth died in Nice in 1950 and Adolph in 1938.
3rd daughter Hélène born in 1867 Moscow, married Ossip Offenbacher and had a son Lothar born in 1896. Hélène died in 1919 in Berlin and Ossip later. Lothar disappeared in Germany.
4th daughter Egenie [Eugenia] married Leon Taube from Riga and was born in 1876 in Moscow and died in 1930 in Moscow. No children.
