Do you know the name of the town where Melchior was born? If not, it will be rather difficult to find him, given that he has such a common surname. You could search through FamilySearch or Ancestry indexed records to find a person with this name and birth date. Also search trees in both places to see if anyone else has him already listed. Any other information that you have about him - spouse, children, marriage date or death date - could provide useful clues for further research.

How did you determine his birth date? There is a Melchioris Schmitt Jr Born 27 NOV 1741 in Baden but he died at age 2.

If you are sure that the Melchioris Schmitt (L5B6-9PX) that you are interested in married Eva Hermann in Hainstadt 26 Sep 1796 you should use the Familysearch lookup service to get a copy of the marriage record (film 1049532). It might give his place of birth, age or fathers name - all of which would be very helpful. I suspect that the 27 NOV 1741birth date might be an error.

Ah!
Please tell me how to access "Family search lookup service".
I found his marriage record at:
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L5B6-9PX
And on Ancestry source:
Germany, Select Marriages, 1558-1929
I thoughtI had his birth record correct but now you have me wondering
I believe the place of birth was Buchen, Baden, Germany
His father was, Melchioris Schmitt Sr BIRTH 1705 • Buchen, Mosbach, Baden DEATH 02 MAY 1785 • Buchen, Mosbach, Baden
His mother was, Maria Barbara Weber BIRTH 20 JUN 1693 • Osterburken, Mosbach, Baden, Germany DEATH Osterburken, Mosbach, Baden
Actually, I was asking if there was any place where records specific to Grand Duchy of Baden, German Empire could be found. Since I have only been able to research as far back as 1705.
