    While Salomon's birth place is given as Germany, it was likely the Danziger Werder (delta), which was part of Prussia at the time.

    Most of the Schmidts who immigrated to the Russian Mennonite colonies did so in 1820 or later, so it is reasonable to accept Salomon's birth place (Germany) as given in the 1881 Canadian census.
