context_page_description: Schauman is a Swedo-Finnish noble family introduced in both the Swedish House of Nobility and the Finnish House of Nobility. Originally known as a family of high-ranking soldiers, since the 1800s its representatives have become known in numerous other fields. 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. 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.
  The Finnish ancestor of the family is lieutenant colonel Henrik Johan Schauman of the Turku County Cavalry Regiment, who came from the Ogre region in Livonia and moved to Sweden in 1662. He was naturalized in the Swedish nobility in 1686 by Charles XI of Sweden and his family was introduced to the House of Knights in 1697 as a nobleman, number 1287.
  Today's living branches are all descendants of his grandson, noble-muse Berndt Otto Schauman. In connection with the organization of the Finnish House of Nobility, Schaumans were marked there in 1818 as a noble family, number 96.
