I am the cousin of Brandy, and I originated the book containing the history of Johann Orth, Archduke of Austria. Johann's first marriage was to a Maria Stubel. Johann did not agree with the military, he had a falling out with his family and took his ship, with Maria to So. America. His ship wrecked off the coast of So. America. The mystery in our family lies in our family here in the states, who claims Johann to be my G.grandfather. Through letters I have found that there was another family before us; mention of a Billy Orth, from another family. I ran across another lady back in the late 70's who claimed her g.father was Johann Orth, also of Austrian royalty and the mystery deepened. We have a signature of "the" Johann Orth but all attempts to find a signature on birth records, etc have not come up with a signature to match. I know that back in the early 1900 it was common for people to pass themselves off as royalty when they were not.. but my family remembers soldiers coming to visit their family and they had to leave the house while these soldiers talked with their father. This other lady also remembers this occurring. I would love to talk to this lady again, so if you are out there, you lived in Astoria, Oregon, please contact me. If anyone else thinks they have connections, please also contact. Thanks
