Thérèse-Marie-Rosine GERALDY was born to Louis Paul GERALDY and Marie- Anne-Elizabeth DELSARTE (daughter of François DelSarte) on June 18, 1884 and died on July 31, 1965. She was one of four children the couple issued. Unfortunately, history has forgotten the connection between this well-noted artist and the DelSarte family. We know offer conclusive evidence that Thérèse Marie Rosine was part of the artistic legacy started by Philippy de Bucelly d'Estrées (Source 2).
