Death notice for Seraphine Therese Ghislaine Douglas dit Schott

  • William Douglas

    I had an attempt at working up an article for this family a couple of years ago:

    An attempt? I'm guessing you mean an article beyond the link provided?

    I did translate this page but seem to be experiencing some technical difficulty in delivering it.

    Edit by WHSD
    Yes, I did want to take the story further.  How did they come by the name Douglas? And a working translation of the non-English content.
    Meantime, in amongst other tasks, I am working a French/Russian/Austrian Douglas family, which seems to have migrated to the USA!

    Interesting! That will be some pot of Douglas goulash!

    Upon review this translation is not 100% accurate, but it is decent & should suffice.

    After OCR, Google translate says:

              Monsieur Baron Charles de Radzitzky d'Ostrowick, Monsieur Baron Auguste de Radzitzky d'Ostrowick, Madame Baroness Auguste de Radzitzky d'Ostrowick, née Viscountess Isebrandt de Leudouch, Mademoiselle Baroness Victoire de Radzitzky d'Ostrowick and Mademoiselle Baroness Eugenie de Radzitzky d'Ostrowick, have the pain to share with you the significant loss they have just experienced in the person of their cousin:

     Mademoiselle Séraphine-Thérèse-Ghislaine Douglas dit Schott

     deceased in Malines on April 9, 1850, at the age of 70 years, after a short illness, provided with the Sacraments of our Mother the Holy Church.

     The perfect resignation to the will of God, her eminent virtues and her great Christian charity, make us hope that she enjoys the happiness of the just, but the decrees of the Almighty being inscrutable, they recommend her soul to your pious prayers.

     Malines on April 15, 1850.

     No answer.
