Readers of our international title,
Tracing Family History, who live in California may be interested in the following event at the Beverly Hills Women's Club in Los Angeles on 8 April, which we've just received news of:
Soldiers and Statesmen. Adventurers and Artists. The History of the de Büren family.
Covering over eight centuries of history, in the United States, Switzerland and Argentina, the de Büren family saga is replete with passionate tales of soldiers, statesmen, adventurers and artists. From the blood-drenched battlefields of Europe to the steaming jungles of South America, from the fertile pampas of Argentina to California's Central Valley, the tale of the de Bürens reads like a great novel - evoking the grand sweep of history as well as its telling details, bursting with complex intrigue, fascinating personal stories, and the most compelling of family dramas.
In addition to the presentation Jean-François de Büren will showcase family heirlooms, as well as engravings, drawings, sketches, watercolors and sculpture made by family members during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
