Help with Dora Bartholomei please
« on: Friday 15 March 24 16:21 GMT (UK) »
Dora Marguerite Irčne Benedicta Bartholomei was born in Paris in 1891, the daughter of Michel Bartholomei and Maria Martinoff (both Russian, though Maria Martinoff became a naturalised French citizen in 1925).
I have not been able to find any records of a marriage or death and wondered if anyone could help.
I have a copy of her Parisian birth record, and she was the informant on her mother's death record in 1927 in Cannes.
The Chicago Tribune of 19th December 1933 has a short article on a lecture Dora gave about her father.
Ancestry has a crew list that shows her as a stewardess arriving in the US, June 25 1936.
Apart from a couple of other indirect references, I've not found any mentions of her. My family tree is the only one she shows up on in an Ancestry search.
If anyone could give me any leads it would be fabulous.

I see no marginal notes on her birth certificate, unfortunately.

I see that "de Bartholomey" is a common spelling for the family in France so maybe:

Thank you jorose. It's certainly something to pursue.
