The Rollman name might be considered legendary in Amberley Village, where the late Justin and Josephine Rollman helped found the village in 1940. Josephine Rollman said she was a granddaughter of Archduke Ferdinand whose assassination in Sarajevo set off World War I in 1914. She also was a niece of Sigmund Freud. The history of Amberley Village contains this passage from a November 1987 interview with Josephine when she was in her 90's:

"I come from royalty. My grandparents, the Archduke and the Duchess of Hapsburg in Austria, were shot and killed, and that was the beginning of World War I. My mother was brought to this country as a little girl. I was born in Detroit. My father was a brother of Dr. Sigmund Freud's. My full name is Josephine Freud Rollman. . .
My cousin was a Lord Montbatten, who was shot and killed on his yacht. And I'm distantly related to the Queen. Well, all royalty is distantly related."
