Robert Schwartz

Robert Schwartz emigrated to France from the georgian part of Russia. He was a soldier in the Zar regiment, part of the Cossack (?) army. In Paris he met my great-grandmother and they had a secret relationship, they were never married and the pregnancy of my grandmother was kept secret. My grandmother, Yvette (Abhervé) Cadin, often saw him as a child in Caen without knowing he was her father. She was raised by her mother and her husband, who adopted my grandmother at a young age. Robert Schwartz could, according to my mother Yvette Cadin Hanuka, ride a horse on his two feet without using a saddle. The story of Robert Schwartz was kept secret due to shame by my grandmother until my birth in 1981, and was revealed due to the big asian mark on my buttox.
