\noindent
My name is Nicholas Pershing Schultz.
I am the Head of The Clan.
I am here today to explain to you the
Russian Heritage of my clan.  And, to
officially delare the ``{\it Rightful Heir}'' and
``{\it Succession}'' for the clan.

\vspace{0.1in}

\noindent
The things that I will tell you today
were told to me by my father Nikolai
Albert Yuliahovich Schulz and by my
grandmother Marfa Dmitrievna Sugak Schulz.

\vspace{0.1in}
\noindent
The Russia, ``The Russ'' has a
history that dates back 1,200 years.
The period of the Kievan Russ
lasted over 400 years. This was the
period of the Great Kings and ``The 
House of Rurik''.

\vspace{0.1in}
\noindent
The first capitol of the The Russ was
Kiev, and the surrounding kingdom was
ruled by King Vladimir (978-1015). Grand
Prince Vladimir was
christened and adopted Orthodox Christianity.

\vspace{0.1in}
\noindent
The second capitol of The Russ was the city of
Suzdal.  In 1238, the first battle with the Tatar's
(Mongols) took place.  The Mongols won the day and
until 1380, The Russ paid tribute to the Mongols.

\vspace{0.1in}
\noindent
After the Mongol invasions, the capitol was
shifted to Moscow and the patriarch of the
Russian Orthodox Church took up residence
in Moscow. This is the Cathedral of Saint Basil.

\vspace{0.1in}
\noindent
In 1300, the King of Moscow, Ivan-Kalita (Ivan Box
of Money), unified
the Russian States.  His grandson Dmitri fought
the Mongols in a battle at Kulikovo, meaning
``little bird'', and was the victor. The battle
lasted two days. Every third man in Russia was
lost during the battle.

\vspace{0.1in}
\noindent
In 1480, Ivan III finally defeated the Mongols and
became the first Czar of the Russian Imperium.

\noindent
``The Degree of Nobility'' granted by the Czar's to
individuals is not to be taken lightly.  It is only
bestowed to those individuals who through military or
maritime deed or through statesmanship exhibit
the principles of duty, honour, and decency.

\vspace{0.1in}
\noindent
The Certificate of Nobility granted April 21, 1785 by
Catherine the Great of Russia to Paul Trofimovich Sugakoff
was duly registered in volume 4 of the Family Register
of Nobility in the Kiev Province in 1795. The Certificate
of the Kiev Province, ``The Degree of Nobility'', was
brought to the United States by my grandmother
Marfa Dmitrievna Sugak Schulz.

\vspace{0.1in}
\noindent
My grandfather Albert Frederick Yuliahovich Schulz
moved the family from Kiev, Russia to the United
States in 1888. He was a Cossack military officer with
the Russian White Army, the armies of Czar Alexander
II (reign 1855 -- 1881) and Czar Alexander III (reign
1881 -- 1894).  And upon returning to Russia in 1905,
served under his Imperial Majesty, Czar Nicholas II
(reign 1894 -- 1917).

My father Nikolai Albert Yuliahovich Schulz
served under General John Joseph Pershing
at the WW I battles of Chateau Thierry and Belleawood. He
was wounded and awarded with distinction the purple heart.
The title was bestowed upon my father Nikolai Albert
Yuliahovich Schulz by his mother Marfa Dmitrievna Sugak
Schulz.

I, Nicholas Pershing Schultz, was a Captain in the US Army Air
Force during WW II.  I served under General
Henry Harley ``Hap'' Arnold.
My father bestowed the title upon me, Nicholas
Pershing Schultz.

My son, Robert Irving Schultz, served with the US Army
in Germany at the start of the Berlin Wall Crisis.
He served under John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
35th President of the United States of America.

I bear witness to you that
Robert Irving Schultz is a direct decedent of Paul
Trofimovich Sugakoff, who on April 21, 1785, was
granted the ``Degree of Nobility'' by her Imperial
Majesty, Catherine the Great of Russia.
