FAMILY von SCHOULTZ
Naturalized 4.8 1840, introduced at the House of Nobility of Finland 10.10 1840 under no. 206
Carl Gustav von Schoultz, teacher at the Navigation School, Major and Counselor of the court was naturalized on application as a nobleman in Finland by Emperor Nicholas I and was introduced to the House of Nobility in Finland 10.10 under no. 206 among the nobles.

The application for naturalization was based on the fact that the family was descended from the nobility
Lithuania among the nobility of the von Schoultz family. An extract from the Livonian
nobility register of the Nobel House of Livonia for the baronial family of Schultz. This family, of allegedly Bohemian noble origin and descended from Herman Schultz, a lieutenant colonel in the Swedish service who died at Kexholm in 1605 who was possibly the son of the burgher of Kokenhusen in Livonia Herman Schult or Schultze (1548, 1553) had through the former's grandsons, finally the governor of Ingermanland and Kexholm County, General Martin and the lieutenant colonel Johan Philip Schultz had obtained Swedish nobility in 1652, without taking introduction. Martin S. had later been elevated to the rank of baron in 1674 and as such introduced to the Swedish (Schultz von Ascheraden). The aforementioned excerpt from the register, which also includes Johan Philip Schultz no connection with the naturalized von Schoultz family in question. Martin
and Johan Philip were the only sons of their father. Martin's descendants are fully known and Johan Philip (d. c. 1672) appears in the pedigree without descendants, he had, however, despite Schlegel & Klingspor's statement that he died childless, he had several sons, who in turn do not seem to have left sons. The descent from Johan Philip Schultz is also a later construction. The early statement (from the middle of the 18th century), that a branch of this Livonian family came to Lithuania and was admitted to the Polish nobility under the name Schultetski (Czulteçki), lacks any support; the Czulteçki family was not ennobled there until 1750. Nor with the Polish Szulc family, which was ennobled in 1676 with the city archivist Mikolai Szule, our family has no demonstrable connection.
The descent from the Ascheraden family Schultz has been based on a hypothesis, which has since solidified into
family tradition, but for which there seems to be no plausible motives (if not possibly the
common first name Martin). It should be added that the weapons used by the two families are quite different.
Research in Vilna and the surrounding area (especially in the archives of the Lithuanian Reformed Church), which was done family records and carried out by the later Major General Adalbert von Schoultz (Table 29), has resulted in the following lineage, which is also supported by the literature. That the origin is German is probable, and the noble birth is not excluded.


In Sweden there is many non-naturalized branches of the family.
