don't have any other information, the person is just mentioned as "Freiin von der X", actually I never heard the term before myself. I heard "Freifrau" - would it be the same?

Freiin = Freifräulein = (unmarried) baroness
Freiin is equivalent to Freifräulein according to Duden
and Freufräulein again is equivalent to an unmarried baroness
and Freufräulein again is equivalent to an unmarried baroness

Freiin von der XX
Have seen it recently in a US passport, leave as is. The Duke of Windsor is Herzog von Windsor (translated) but Sir Joe Soap remains, and Freiin is the lowest of the German titles (Edler is Austrian). But I agree, it's the unmarried daughter of a Baron.

: I think this is valid. Perhaps with an explanation in a footnote.
