Mr. Jenner. Tell us about that, will you?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Well, the family is of Swedish origin. The name is spelled M-o-h-r-e-n-s-k-u-l-d.
Mr. Jenner. Yes; I saw last night in looking over these materials the spelling S-k-o-l-d-t, is that correct?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. That is right, it is spelled this way. That is a Swedish way of spelling. And the letter "o" with two dots over it is a typical Swedish letter which cannot be translated or written down in any language. So in probably moving to Russia, or to the Baltic States, you see, which was an intermediary area between Russia and Sweden, they probably changed it to S-c-h-i-l-d-t. And it can also be written in Russian, at the same time.
Mr. Jenner. Now, what did your father do? What was he?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. He was a landowner. He was a director of the Nobel interests for a while. He was a marshal of nobility of the Minsk Province.
Mr. Jenner. He was what?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Marshal of nobility. He was elected representative of the landowners to the Government.
Mr. Jenner. Of what country?
