La Marquise Geneviève de Chaponay is the Duchess of Vendome’s daughter. The Duchess of Vendome is King Albert I’s sister. If this turquoises came back to Belgium and afterwards to Luxembourg is an interesting find ! Thanks --Previous Message-- : The marquise of Chaponay is a : "feminine-line" descendant of : Stephanie GD of Baden and so the necklace : passed on to her, the mother having : bequeathed it to her daughter in each : generation. And the marquise is a first : cousin of King Leopold father of GD : Josephine Charlotte. There is the connection : but not by the last GD of Baden. : : --Previous Message-- : Could the last grand duchess of Baden have : left her turquoises to her niece, the grand : duchess of Luxembourg? She left other : jewels thus. And that's a much closer : family relationship than the one between the : marquise of Chaponay and the GD Josephine. : : :
