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