NOTES:
#1 The Shickshinny organisation has no lineal descent from the Order of St John. There was a claim by this organisation that Grand Duke Alexander of Russia was Grand Master 1913-1933 but this claim cannot be proven.
The beginnings of this organisation is located in the 1950s, when an organisation emerged in the USA called "The Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Inc" also known as the "Sovereign Order of St John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta".
It claimed to have been founded in 1908 in the USA but with meetings well before then. It also claimed by some authors that it had a revived a Corporation Status from an organisation registering in 1911, in Trenton, New Jersey. However the Department of State responsible for New Jersey can find any records of any Incorporation under those two names or any variants of the Order of St John/Malta name.
The earliest independent record is an Incorporation of 1956, in Dover, in the State of Delaware, registration No. 05037164100, 18th August 1956. Oddly enough the Incorporation of 1956 was enacted by three women; Mary M Lafferty, Jean P Joel and Ruth Biddle. Charles Pichel and his colleagues do not appear as Officers of the Corporation until 30th June 1960! (From the records in the State of Delaware). At a guess the Incorporation was an 'off-the-shelf' company, bought by Pichel in 1956. The amendments to register Pichel's name being made four years later in 1960. The alternative is that the three women were the Chief Officers of the "Sovereign Order of St John of Jerusalem Inc" 1956-1960!
#2 These appointments are as those claimed by the organisation rather than established fact.
#3 Exiled King Peter II of Yugoslavia was elected as the Royal Protector under Cassagnac which caused a split. The Shickshinny Convent and filiants do not appear to recognise Cassagnac as ever being a Lieutenant Grand Master or Grand Master. See TABLE 2, for the continuing Cassagnac organisation.
#4 Cassagnac, had been elected as Grand Master, September 1961. He dismissed the Chancellor, Pichel, but in a tit for tat was dismissed by a Court of Justice run by Pichel February 22nd 1962, see TABLE 2. The Shickshinny Order discounts Cassagnac in its own list of Grand Masters. At some stage King Peter II, the exiled king of Yugoslavia was connected with, or a member of the Shichshinny Order.
#5 This may be a ficticious appointment. Paul Jouveau du Breuil (Cassagnac Order TABLE 2), wrote to Count Christian Orssich (confidant of King Peter II), 29th June 1962, and stated "I have just received a very good telegram from Graf von Luckner in Hamberg saying he thanks me for my protection and that he sends back to Pichel the nomination ("fancy lieutenancy"), and that he comes to our Cause." Source: Count Christian Orssich's records.
#6 Under Edelen the Shickshinny Order allied with that in TABLE 14.
#7 The Constitution of Paternò's own organisation (published in 1979) places him as Grand Master 1st October 1976. This earlier "election" was probably "schismatic", but reconciled to the Shickshinny organisation, with Edelen stepping down in 1979. Paternò continued with his own Order in 1981 see TABLE 12.

NOTES:
#1 The de Cassagnac organisation had no lineal descent from the historic Order of St John, and had separated from the organisation in TABLE 1.
#2 Protector from 1962-1964. In January 1965, King Peter II of Yugoslavia, was elected as Grand Master of this Order by his supporters. However this was irregular and Cassagnac refused to step down to become Grand Master Emeritus. By June 1965, the King was Grand Master of his own Order. See TABLE 3.
#3 Name change in 1999.
#4 See http://www.orderstjohn.org/selfstyle/ddm.htm .
#5 Prince Carol left to form his own Order see TABLE 16.
#6 Resigned from the 'Regular Order' 14th May 2005, but sought to be reinstalled, without a constitutional election. This was refused.
#7 Chancellor of the "Den Danske Malteserorden" in Denmark.
#8 Left when the Priory of Brittany, along with the Den Danske Malteserorden and the Den Suveræne St Johannes Orden (see http://www.orderstjohn.org/selfstyle/ddm.htm) joined forces along with a group in the USA known as the Priory of King Valdemar the Great, and the Priory of Brittany. The Priory of France (the main unit) refused to join in with the new grouping, and a schism occurred. See TABLE 27  for the schismatic organisation.

Lieutenant Grand Master #4 #5.

NOTES:
#1 This organisation seceded from that of TABLE 2.
#2 King Peter was elected by a number of members as Grand Master of the organisation in TABLE 2, but that action caused a schism. From 1968, his title was known as 'Royal Head'.
#3 1895-1978. Genuinely entitled to be an Hereditary Commander of the Russian Grand Priory - however he had never been a member of the exilic-Russian Grand Priory in Paris. His father Prince Serge Constantinovitch Belosselsky-Belozersky (1867-1951) was a member of the Paris Group of Commanders. Prince Serge Belosselsky-Belozersky became Lieutenant Grand Master when the King Peter Order experience schism in 1968, with Prince Serge leading one of the factions.
#4 Troubetzkoy claimed to be an Hereditary Commander of the Russian Grand Priory. However, the person who can actually claim that right was a distant Cousin. he had been recruited from the Shickshinny Convent (TABLE 1) where he had been the "Grand Prior of the Russian Langue". Prince Sergei Troubetzkoy had an older brother who was a member of the Paris Union of Descendants of Hereditary Commanders and Knights of the Russian Grand Priory of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, Prince Nikita Troubetzkoy.

NOTES:
#1 Robert von Brancovan (known as Robert Baden von Bradische. Some authors suggest his real name is Isaac Wolff) was a leading member of this Organisation/Order which seceded from Cassagnac's organisation in 1967 TABLE 2, following Cassagnac's death. Brancovan left in 1969 to join the King Peter Order see TABLE 3. He became known as 'Prince' Michael Khimchiachivili Von Brancovani.
Brancovan then assisted in setting up a new St John Order (TABLE 14). By 1972 Brancovan had set up his own Order see TABLE 15.
#2 Prince Carol Hohenzollern left to become Grand Master of the Cassagnac Order in 1968, see TABLE 2.

NOTES:
#1 This organisation was one of three which continued from that in TABLE 3. See TABLE 5. and TABLE 14. for the other two organisations.
#2 As from 1991.
#3 This organisation ceased as an "Order" in its own right, when in 1999 it corporately became part of the 'Order' in TABLE 7.
#4 Troubetzkoy claimed to be an Hereditary Commander of the Russian Grand Priory. He had an elder brother who had been a member of the Paris Group of the Descendants of Russian Family Commanders, which had the patronage of the senior dynasts to the Russian Throne. It was a distant Cousin who was entitled to claim the Hereditary Commandery. Troubetzkoy had been a member of the organisation in TABLE 1, as the "Grand Prior for the Russian Langue". Troubetzkoy left but continued to support a faction of this 'Order' based in Canada and led by Giles Lamoureux-Gadoury.
#5 In 1977, the "Russian Grand Priory in Malta" split from this 'Order' and gained Prince Andrei of Yugoslavia as its Grand Master, to be reconciled with the rest of the 'Order' in 1979, when Prince Andrej was accepted by the whole 'Order' as being its Grand Master.
#6 Organisation in schism. The Sovereign Council under Raymond J. Addington OBE did not recognise the Belgic Charter and there existed a state of schism between the Vancouver HQ and the Belgium HQ. A new listing exists under TABLE 11. In 1999 this organisation ceased to be part of the "King Peter Orders" and its members joined the organisation in TABLE 7.

NOTES:
#1 This organisation was created by members (among others) who had been in the 'Orders' of TABLE 2, TABLE 6, and TABLE 15.
#2 In 1992 Discussions were held to create a Joint Order with the Order in TABLE 2, but came to nothing.
#3 Since January 2005, this 'Order' includes "l'Union des Descendants des Commandeurs et Chevaliers Héréditaires du Grand Prieuré de Russie de l'Ordre de Saint Jean de Jérusalem" registered in Alsace amongst others by Prince Vladimir Bariatinsky. It is suggested via there website that this new Organisation is the historic "Union" of the Russian Hereditary Commanders group in Paris, begun in 1928 - but without providing any details of the missing period of 1975 to 2004. Whereas in reality the organisation was created as part of the "OOSJ" in 2005. It has been claimed that this Union was registered on the 11th November 2004, however the actual registration of this "Union" in Schiltigheim was 13th January 2005. Consult: The Register of Associations of the Tribunal d’Instance de Schiltigheim, Volume : 36 Folio N° 54.
#4. In July 2006, members of this organisation managed to transfer the moribund corporation once held by the Russian Commanders group.
#5 Count Nicholas Bobrinskoy is a genuine Count and a descendant of Catherine the Great of Russia. He was a member of the 'Order' in TABLE 15 in 1972 before joining the 'Order' in TABLE 6.
In 1974 he is listed as 'Lieutenant Grand Prior' of the "Orthodox Tradition of the Russian Grand Priory of the Sovereign Order of Saint John, of Jerusalem, Knights Of Malta", which was allied to "Orthodox Tradition of the Russian Grand Priory of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, the Orthodox Hospitallers of Saint John" an Order founded in Cyprus in 1972. His older half brother was a member of the Paris Group of the Descendants of Russian Family Commanders.
#6 Prince Sergei Troubetzkoy is listed on the early letterheads as Lieutenant Grand Master.
#7. The competing Acting Grand Priors indicate an internal division. Email 13/09/2006 for the declaration issued by Prince Michael assuming the duties of "Sovereign Grand Prior". Email 14/09/2006 for the notice about Prince Bariatinsky's succession as "Grand Prior".

#1 This organisation was created circa 1981, when Troubetzkoy and others left the 'Order' led by HRH Prince Andrei of Yugoslavia TABLE 6 .There is a suggestion that in 1988, both Troubetzkoy and Lamoureux-Gadoury sought a union with the 'OOSJ' - TABLE 7.
#2 The organisation may still be in existence. It appears to have been in existence as late as 1995, when Giles Lamoureux-Gadoury, Grand Prior of Canada wrote to a member of the "Russian Grand Priory of Malta" - see TABLE 10.
#3 By 1997, Prince Sergei S. Troubetzkoy was firmly supporting the 'Order' as led by Dr John Grady - see TABLE 13.

#1 This organisation seceded from that in TABLE 14.
#2 more correctly; Alex Ceslawa Maurice Jean Brimeyer born in 1946. Brimeyer managed to get himself recognized by the 87-year-old Vassili d'Anjou Durassow. The document attests that Vassili recognizes him as his only son and  heir by his "former consort Princess Olga Beatricia Dolgorouki" and cites his date of birth as 4 May 1948. However other evidence discounts this claim.
see http://web.archive.org/web/20030628111017/http://www.kwtelecom.com/chivalry/anjou.html
Alex Brimmer went on to found his own Order - see TABLE 23.
#3 Robert von Brancovan (known as Robert Baden von Bradische. Some authors suggest his real name is Isaac Wolff) had first been a member of the Cassagnac Order (TABLE 2). In 1967, he then was a leading member of a St John Order led by 'Grand Master' Prince Carol Hohenzollern (TABLE 4). Brancovan left in 1969 to join the King Peter Order (TABLE 3). In 1970, he then assisted in setting up a new St John Order (TABLE 14).
#4 Became known as Prince Michael Khimchiachivili Von Brancovani. Brancovan became a defendant in a Court case in the USA; Alhadeff v. Georg, 30 November 1983, the Court decided in favour of the plaintiff and against the defendant who had supplied the plaintiff with a "passport" and made him a "knight of Malta" for which he had charged $20,000. The Court in its judgment determined that, despite the variants in the name, there was an intention to make the plaintiff (who was Jewish) believe that the defendant's "Order" was somehow a secular branch of the Roman Catholic Order; evidence such as the similarity of the name, the coat of arms as used on stationery, the decoration awarded, references to the alleged support of various public persons, all served to support the plaintiff's case. The Brancovan organisation may have ceased to exist following this Court case.
#5 The 'Order' in TABLE 19 claims to have continued this 'Order'.

Peter II, King of Yugoslavia

1965-1970

Grand Master #1.

'Prince 'Alfred von Habsburg-Hohenberg

2001-2006

Hereditary Grand Prior #2.

NOTES:
#1 Only via Alfred Kugler's claim.
#2 The full title claimed is "His Highness, Alfred Prince von Habsburg-Hohenberg, Margrave von Burgau, Baron von Kupferberg, Landgrave zu Nellenburg, Burgrave von Tirol".
Originally he was a member of the Order in TABLE 2 in 1964, and before that may have been a member of the Shickshinny Convent (TABLE 1). In 1965 he was a member of the Order in TABLE 3.
On July 7th 2002 he was claiming that "H.M. King Peter II, as the Grandmaster of the Ordo Sancti Joannis Hospitalis Hierosolymitami decreed on January 20, 1964 that my title should be Hereditary Grand Prior, Knights Hospitaller". However on a Document (a Proxy voting paper) 18th May 1964 (a copy of which was preserved in the records of Count Christian Orssich), submitted by him to King Peter, he describes himself as "Alfred Paul Baron Kugler von Kupferberg Hollenberg - Hereditary Commander of Justice, acting Prior of Middle Northwest of the United States of America" - thus in the historical records of the Order as led by King Peter see TABLE 3, certainly by May 1964 - no decree appears to have been issued by King Peter, as he is not an "Hereditary Grand Prior"! - nor in that Document a "Prince"! Furthermore, King Peter was only elected Grand Master on the 30th January 1965, by a group of American Knights, followed by being elected Grand Master by European groups in March of that year. Up until 30th January 1965, King Peter was only High Protector to the Cassagnac Order (TABLE 2). There is no evidence contemporary to 1964 and up until 30th January 1965, that King Peter was a Grandmaster of any Order of St John, including one with a Latin Title!
Of relevance is a letter from General Theodore K. Militchevitch, who was in charge of the Chancellery of King Peter II. In writing to Kupferberg on May 20th 1965, General Militchevitch begins the letter "Dear Mr. von Kupferberg" - not "Baron" - nor "Prince". General Militchevitch on behalf of the King would always seek to follow the correct protocols, and certainly does not provide the title of "Prince" to Kupferberg.
By February 2006, the website had become defunct suggesting the Order no longer exists.

NOTES:
1. Created 27th December 2005, by an Act of Union of the Priory of Brittany,  Den Danske Malteserorden (both schismatic parts of the "Regular Order of St John of the Holy Land see TABLE 2) the Den Suveræne St Johannes Orden , and the Priory of King Valdemar the Great in the USA.
2. Formally Grand Master of the Regular Order of St John of the Holy Land (TABLE 2) from which he resigned 14th May 2005. He operated under the title "Grand Master" once again sometime before the Act of Union 27th December 2005 (but not accepted by his former 'Order'. He 'Abdicated' as Grand Master of the New 'Order' 10th June 2006.
