Notes for Kari Dorothea Brebeck
The only evidence for her is in the Burke’s Peerage account of the family in the 107th edn of 2003, Dartmouth article, vol 1, p. 1038. Her husband and their children are confirmed in the will of Beatrice Mary Caroline Goudge.

BP reports of her: ‘Kari (d 1971), dau of Senats präsident Walther Brebeck, of Eutin, Holstein”.
I can find no confirmation of this, though it must be available in the country of her birth.

In 1954 she and her son Robert arrived on a boat from the USA at Southampton that arrived on 23rd November 1954. The arrival form gives various details of note:
Kari Legge
Age: 30
UK address: Orchard House, Little Hinton, Wilts
Future residence: Abroad
Nationality: USA
Of these, the age agrees with her birth date declared at death, the address is that of Rhoda Stefanie Legge, great aunt of her husband and the nationality is a surprise on the basis that her father was declared in Burke to be Germanic.
Robert Legge
Age: 2
Future residence: Abroad
Nationality: USA
Of these his age does not quite agree with his birth date in Burke of 29 May 1953, and his nationality was USA because that is where he was almost certainly born.

On 3 Sep 1959 she and her children, and her husband, arrived at Boston Airport from Shannon. They filled in arrival cards and the relevant information was:
Ini- <——- Birth ———->
Surname Forename tial Passport National Place Date
Legge Kari - 1565083 US Berlin, Germany 6 Dec 1923
Legge Christopher W 1565083 US Beirut, Lebanon 24 Jul 1955
Legge Robert A 1565083 US Yonkers USA 29 May 1953
Legge Christopher A 1258994 US London, England 27 Sep 1911
They all gave the USA address of 124 S. Park St, Bradford, Mass.
What an invaluable set of documents! Their daughter Barbara had not yet been born, hence missing from this collection. The point to note is that the then full family had travelled together and thereby confirmed the relationships between them.
