Schauman
The Schauman family is a Swedish-Finnish noble family of German origin,[1][2] introduced in both the Swedish House of Nobility[3] and the Finnish House of Nobility.[4] Originally known as a family of high-ranking soldiers, since the 1800s its representatives have become known in numerous other fields.[5]
History
The family is from the Baltic countries and moved to Finland at the end of the 1600s. It is considered to be from the nobility of Courland.[3] However, according to an alternative theory the roots of the family could be in Kurpfalz, Germany, in which in 1596 a family with the same name was ennobled.[1]
The Finnish ancestor of the family is lieutenant colonel[6] Henrik Johan Schauman[1] (1649–1730) of the Turku County Cavalry Regiment, who came from the Ogre region in Livonia and moved to Sweden in 1662.[3] He was naturalized in the Swedish nobility in 1686 by Charles XI of Sweden[3] and his family was introduced to the House of Knights in 1697 as a nobleman, number 1287.[3]
Today's living branches are all descendants of his grandson, noble-muse Berndt Otto Schauman[5] (1738–1805). In connection with the organization of the Finnish House of Nobility, Schaumans were marked there in 1818 as a noble family, number 96.[3][4] Descendants of the family moved to Argentina in the late 19th century and in the 1920s to France;[3] the family still lives in both countries.

Schaumans are also living today in Paraguay and the United States.[3]
The Schauman noble family is strongly international, as some of its branches have long existed even in South America.[5]
