The sentence is okay. Other examples of this construction:
He's the son of a powerful political family.
She's the daughter of an old mining family.
He's the son of an old vaudeville family.
She's the daughter of a famous show business family.
The pronunciation, based on the spelling, I'm guessing is: SAHS-kyah fonn OOY-lenn-berg.
