Information re Baroness Alexandra Budberg nee Countess Anrep-Elmpt and Alexandra Budberg, her daughter. I am a great grand-daughter. My grandmother was Alexandra Budberg, Born Sept 13, 1874 on the the estate of Baron Alexander and Baroness Alexandra Budberg, her parents. She was born at Magnushof near Riga, Livonia. Her uncle was Andre Baron Budberg.
She married John Paine, Englishman and Captain in the merchant marine P.80 Company R.N.R. on August 10th, 1899 in Brindisi, Italy. They had 2 daughters, Rona Paine (born 1901 in Dresden-Saxony) and Tamara Paine (born 1902 in Ringmore near Feignmouth-Devonshire, England).
John Paine died in 1908 and Alexandra returned to Russia until 1910. Left Russia for America in 1910.
Married Conrad Assemann in 1913 in Maryland. Divorced May 4, 1918. Had 3 children in the USA - Ted, Mary Clotilda, and Toby Paine. (She gave her children her previous married name)

I am a historian and I work with cultural heritage in Latvia. On 23.of March 2012 I bought a book in one Riga antique (Schillers sämtkiche Werke. Dreizehnter Band, Gottasche Bibliotek: Stuttgart) with an interesting signature : A.Baronin Budberg geb. Gräfin Anrep Elmpt. And on another page there is a registration that this book once belonged to library of family Böninghausen Budberg in Magnushof (by Riga).
Could that be your greatgrandmother, who owned this book?

Yes, this would be my great grandmother. They did live at Magnushof. I would appreciate your name and contact information for later (we are very busy this spring and summer) and will recontact you. We hope to come to Latvia and visit so your info of the area - and perhaps a bit of help getting around as a guide or a suggestions of a guide who is not too expensive - would be of interest to us.
