#1 The Seligmans, Peggy's family, were a GermanJewish dynasty that had established themselves as a pillar of the community by the time of Peggy's birth in 1898. They were extremely philanthropic, and women were expected to devote themselves to pursuits of the most haut bourgeois.
#2 Joseph Seligman, the eldest brother, was a talented young man who wanted to make money. He set off for America in 1837, and after working for a Yankee boatbuilder for a year, he set off on his own. He soon had enough money to send for his brothers.
#3 The Seligmans were now officially in the banking business, just in time for a huge upsurge in the economy. In 1857, Joseph married Babet Steinhardt, a Baiersdorf girl and his first cousin.
#4 The Seligman brothers were among the first generation of American immigrants who made good in spectacular fashion. They were close advisers to presidents, and their family became known as the American Rothschilds.
