22.12311 Princess Marie Clotilde Bonaparte 1912 1996 Count Serge de Witt 1891 1990 I have been unable to locate a definitive family tree for the de Witt family. I have however been advised by a descendant of Count Serge that the de Witt family have been Counts since Peter the Great. The correspondent also mentioned Duc de Raguse (Auguste Frederic Viesse de Marmont) (1774-1852) (presumably in his memoirs) describes how he met the Count de Witt during a visit to Russia. Further. It was also pointed that this de Witt family is unrelated to Count de Witte (Witte with an e at the end) former Minister of Finance in Russia. (Note: One normally reliable source mentions Serge was created Count de Witt by the King of Italy on 11 November 1939. I am now of the opinion this reference to Serge being created Count is erroneous).
