Hello, I am Manager of the Castle House Museum in Dunoon Scotland. One of my volunteer helpers said that it was a family story that a relative was a Miss Brazil. I decided to a quick search and discovered your posting. Her ancestors were MacPhersons linked with Dunoon for a good number of years. She is anxious for more information. Can you assist?  She has agreed that I may enquire on her behalf.

My original post, now well over seven years ago,was out of interest to find out where that place was.
I remember looking at MacPherson births generally, overseas during the war time years.1939/1945
As far as am aware this family is no connection to my own Macs,who originate from Bridge of Teith,Perthshire,unfortunately unable to get back further than early 1800.
Most interesting that replies have come up after so long.
Unable to contribute any constructive help Museum man,hopefully someone else can.

If you haven't already done so, you could flick  through the Miss World web site which list all the contestants and see if any Miss Brazil names ring a bell.  Although of course she may not have reached that level of competition.  I've had a quick look (purely in the interests of research of course) but nothing obvious.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Jean or Gina Macpherson. This seems to be her. Born 1940/1941. Scottish Father and US Mother.

Good spot barryd, hadn't looked at Miss Universe (or at least that's my story).

Born in the same place too, could well be a connection to the thread starter as well.

Can't figure out a connection with WW2 though, apart from the dates "Consular Births 1941-1945"

Perhaps a post war Nazi fugitive was a competition judge.
