Biography[]
Son of the noted archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann, who famously excavated the ancient city of Troy, and his Greek wife Sophia, he was born on 16 March 1878 in Paris, France. He apparently got baptized by Heinrich Schliemann himself, although he was reluctant about it. During a trip to the United States in 1900, he established his American citizenship and in 1902 married Nadine de Bornemann in New York City.[3]
