Schuch

The Schuch family has its own Coat of Arms and the family title of Baron. The Schuch Family originated from the South part of Lake Baikal near China, in 1200. The ancestors came to Kiev in Ukraine in 1227, with Genghis Khan as Warlords. Then moved to Pest (part of contemporary Budapest) in Hungary in 1237, and afterwards moved to Vác to the North of Pest and alongside Donau River, where the family owned a palace. That was later sold to a relative, Baron Einantel. They in turn moved to Poland to Szynczyce, in 1807. The spelling of the name was changed after the move from Schuch to Szuch. Family had its palace at Aleja Szucha Nr 6 in Warszawa (Polish: Aleja Szucha w Warszawie), and another one in Nowy Swiat Nr 70, also in Warszawa. The Family owned together with the Nobel family(Swedish) oil fields in Baku, Russia. The Family purchased from Fürst Ysipov his palace at Yalta when he shot Mr Rasputin in St. Petersburg and needed to leave Russia in a haste. This palace was known as the Livadia Palace. Family had to leave in a haste at arrival of the Red Guard in 1917, at the time of the Russian revolution. This palace was a place of the meeting place for Sir Winston Churchill, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Chairman Joseph Stalin, at the Yalta conference. A family adoption changed family name from Szuch to von Börtzell-Szuch in 1927. After World War II the family moved from Poland in 1945 to England, taking up a position as Second Secretary of the Polish Embassy in London, and from there to Sweden in 1947 as Polish Consul in Gothenburg, and then stayed there permanently. Polish authorities (local Court of Law in Gdansk) changed the name spelling from Boertzell-Szuch to Börtzell-Szuch, in 2004.
