The entry in the Graz register of citizens lists Vienna as his place of
origin (i.e., from which city he travelled to Graz). In the entry of his marriage in the church register of Graz, his father
is listed as an innkeeper in Bratislava. However, only his siblings, born
from 1760 onwards, are recorded in
the birth registers there. It is therefore likely that his parents moved to
Bratislava only after his birth; his birthplace is thus currently unknown.
