I looking for any information on my Great Great Grandfather. I know he was was an Admiral and Heir to the Von der Goltz family. I recently found an article written about him saying he is a self Exhiled heir. He once served as consular for his cousin Frederick (heir to the throne).

My great great grandfather was known as Georges Henri Goltz and was born in 1826, he sailed all over the world and settled in San Francisco for a little bit, there he married Amelia Ann Hurst in November 20,1855 at Trinity Church. I know of two known children that were born in San Francisco (Gertrude Maud and Henry Gustav) the others were born in French Polynesia (Marquesas Islands).
Most of the Goltzs that remain are direct descendants of Georges.
His son: Henry Gustav married Mabel Higgins in Raiatea and they had 6 children ( one was those children was my grandfather):
Henry James Goltz. He married twice, first marriage was with a Sophie Tumahai they married in California and had 3 children. After Sophie's passing, he returned to Tahiti and married my Grandmother Hortense Tevahitua and they had 2 sons, one is my father. Edouard Alfred.


Georges Henri had a brother he was a well known Professor in Strasburg, from what I can find online I'm assuming that it could be a Hermann Alexander Georg Von der Goltz professor of dogmatics.

I've had no luck I'm my search looking for his father or mother, siblings.
If anyone has any information regarding him or his relatives that would be wonderful. My family was thrilled when we discovered an article written about him in a San Francisco newspaper called the call, published in 1904. There is a sketch of him and a semi detailed article about Georges.
Thank you
Christina
