Russian nobility, claiming descent from the Volga-Finn Meshchera tribe who lived between the Oka and Klyazma rivers. The Mestchersky family is of Tatar origin and descends from Hussein Sherinsky, who was the Prince of Meshera (a region near Moscow between the rivers of Oka and Klyazma) in the 15th century. After the Russian revolution family members were in exile in Western Europe and had a villa in Nice.
"Marie" Mestchersky is probably Princess Maria Nicolaevna Meschcherskaya (April 10, 1866 St. Petersburg - October 30, 1948 Asnières)
