Schauman

[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.

In connection with the organization of the Finnish House of Nobility, Schaumans were marked there in 1818 as a noble family, number 96.

Alternative noble families[clarification needed] have subsequently re-elected the right to represent the House of Knights.

[3] The Schauman noble family is strongly international, as some of its branches have long existed even in South America.
