In Poland/Russia
Schulitz's origin is a little enigmatic. His naturalisation notes that he was a citizen of the city of Nashwa, Poland in Russia. This seems to indicate that his was from the lands of the former Polish Kingdom that had been annexed by the Russian Empire during the various partitions of Poland during the late 18th and early 19th century; however, no city of that name or similar has been identified. Nor is his date or even year of birth known
In England
In Australia
Schulitz arrived in South Australia in about 1849, but the vessel he arrived on is not known.
