Alexander Van der Bellen is an Austrian politician and economist. His father, Aleksander Konstantin van der Bellen, was a Russian-born aristocrat, of Dutch, Baltic German, 1/16th Estonian, and possibly French, descent. His mother, Alma (Siibold), was also a Russian immigrant, of Estonian descent. He is married to Doris Schmidauer. He was previously married to Brigitte.
Alexander’s paternal grandfather was Aleksander Konstantin van der Bellen (the son of Aleksander van der Bellen and Marie Anna Mollier). Alexander’s great-grandfather Alexander was the son of Alexander van der Bellen. Alexander’s great-great-grandfather Alexander’s father, Jacobus van der Bellen, moved from Holland to the Russian Empire in 1763. The surname “Mollier” is of possibly French origin. However, it is unclear if Alexander’s grandmother Marie had French ancestry.
Alexander’s paternal grandmother was Adele Emilie Reymann (the daughter of Maximilian Georg Reymann and Catharina Beata Julie Britzke). Alexander’s grandmother Adele was of Baltic German, and some Estonian, descent. Maximilian was the son of Johann Nathanael Reymann; Johann was a Latvian immigrant, from Riga. Catharina was the daughter of Wilhelm August Ludwig Britzke and Beate Christina Masing, who was of part Estonian descent.
Alexander’s maternal grandfather was Julius Friedrich Sibold (the son of Mihkel Sibold and Kadri Siibold). Julius was an Estonian immigrant, from Meeri, Tartu County. Mihkel was the son of Dawid Sibold and Liso Lillo. Kadri was the daughter of Dawid Pehka and Ann Lind.
Alexander’s maternal grandmother was Johanna Adele Kask (the daughter of Mihkel Kask and Ello Kull). Johanna was an Estonian immigrant, from Tartu. Mihkel was born Mihkel Lomp, and was the son of Ado Lomp and Mari. Ello was the daughter of Mart Kull and Leena Tavel.
Alexander’s matrilineal ancestry can be traced back to his third great-grandmother, Mai.
