I'm looking for any information on Herman and Paulita.
Herman (possible Hilman?) was born in Esperanza, Argentina in @ 1896 and Paulita was born in Stein, Switzerland in @ 1895. They immigrated to the US in 1928. They divorced in 1943. I believe Herman may have re-married a woman named Stella. Paulita supossedly was quite an acclaimed dancer and performed under the name "Paulita de la Torre". I'm specifically looking for family names and any information before they immigrated to the US.
I found a newspaper article that states that Herman was John A. Sutter's great nephew, but have been unable to trace him. The article states, "Herman's grandmother was General John A. Sutter's sister. She left Switzerland about the same time John departed for California. They settled in South America where her family developed mining interests. Herman's grandmother's name was Siegel (or Stegel?), but her daughter (Herman's mother) married a Sutter who was no relation to General Sutter."
It doesn't make sense to me if she was his sister her name would be Siegel, so maybe she was of different relation. Also, there are 93 years between John A. Sutter's birth and Herman's, so maybe he was a great-great-nephew? Or not related at all?
