Footnotes

The Albu Baronetcy, of Grosvenor Place in the City of Westminster, and Johannesburg in the Province of Transvaal in the Union of South Africa, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 12 February 1912 for the South African mining magnate George Albu. He was the founder of the General Mining and Finance Corporation alongside his brother Leopold Albu. As of 2017 the title is held by the first Baronet's grandson, the third Baronet, who succeeded his father in 1963.

The family motto 'Omnia Bene Evenient' translated means 'Everything will be alright in the end'.
