Biography

Jakob Schmal was a Volga German.

Jakob Schmal has German Roots.

Family #81 in the 1775 Grimm census.
Family #119 in the 1798 Grimm census.
Family #190 in the 1834 Grimm census.

Note: His age in the 1834 census is off by five years from his age listed in previous census records. This does not necessarily mean this isn't a match. Sixty-one years after a birth, with none of the original parties still alive, errors can be made as to the birth year of the deceased. In each of the censuses, here is Jakob Christian's stated birth year:

• 1768 in 1775 census
• 1768 in 1798 census
• 1773 in 1834 census

The birth year attributed to a child shortly after his or her birth is probably more correct than a birth year attributed at the time of death, especially if the death is more than 50 years after the birth. Therefore I am using 1768 as his birth year.
