In her recent blog about the death of Olga, princess Paley, Ms Koenig mentions that she was survived by her four daughters. However, her surviving son, the elder son, Aleksanteri von Pistohlkors, fails to get that mention from said Koenig. http://genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00308943&tree=LEO Aleksanteri von Pistohlkors -formerly an adjutant of the Governor-General of Finland in Helsinki- lived a few decades after the revolution and after the death his mother, and it's actually somewhat attested that he had activities in emigrant circles in Paris. I gather he deceased only in 1940s. He is not mentioned at all in Koenig's blog: http://royalmusingsblogspotcom.blogspot.com/2009/11/princess-paley-dead-at-63.html Aleksanteri von Pistohlkors' young daughters travelled by their step-grandfather grD Paul's private train when fleeing the revolution.... Princess Olga did that (= made use of her husband's privileges and train) in benefit of her granddaughters. One of those little girls became Countess Pahlen in Finland and another baroness Ramel in Sweden.
