Oswald's Tale
“McMillan: . . . born in Mozyr, Belorussia, in 1911 . . . he was . . . fond of pointing out [that] he was . . . a mixture of Russian, Polish, Swedish, German, and Hungarian blood . . . the Mohrenschildts traced their ancestry back to the Baltic nobility at the time of Sweden’s Queen Christina—the proudest nobility in all Russia. The men of the family had a right to be called “Baron,” but such were their liberal opinions that neither George’s father, Sergei von Mohrenschildt, nor his Uncle Ferdinand (first secretary of the czarist embassy in Washington, who married the daughter of William Gibbs McAdoo, Woodrow Wilson’s son-in-law and Secretary of the Treasury), nor George himself, nor his older brother Dmitry, ever made use of the title.2 Gary Taylor, who had been married to De Mohrenschildt’s daughter, Alexandra, offers a good description of the Baron: MR. TAYLOR. Uh—he is a rather overbearing personality; somewhat boisterous in nature and easily changeable moods—anywhere from extreme ...friendliness to downright dislike—just like turning on and off a light.MoreLess
