[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Russian Village Identification

[Gary Warner]

Cliff,

My first guess is that the place is Smolensk.   If that is correct, that 
name is both a large city and a region about 370 km WSW of Moscow.

How did you find this page in the 1890 census, since a search at 
Ancestry does not seem to turn up this image?   Did you find him on 
earlier or later censuses?
