Biography

Helen Grace Temple was born Jan 30, 1891 in Ashland, MA^[1]

She married Oliver Wolcott Roosevelt in West Brookfield, MA, on 6 Mar 1916.^[2]

Divorced, she married Emmanuel d'Astier de la Vigerie, 2 Mar 1931, in Paris, France (17ème arr.). She divorced from Emmanuel on 5 Jun 1947.^[3]

Notes :

• The full name on the 1916 marriage record is Grace Helen Temple Olmstead. Olmstead was the family name of Grace's stepfather (second husband of her mother). She uses the name "Temple Olmstead" on a passport application in 1915.^[4]
• The 1931 marriage indicates a birth on 30 Jan 1894 instead of 1891, obviously based on a passport on which Grace cheated a bit on her age, with the complicity of her mother. The previous passport (certainly bearing the correct birth date) was declared "destroyed" ...^[5]
