Place of birth
The place of birth( POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.
This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person.
As a general rule with respect to passports, the place of birth is determined to be the country that currently has" sovereignty" over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred.
The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live.
If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth.
In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.
Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents.
For example, Sweden has used the concept of" födelsehemortdomicile of birth") since 1947.
This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth.
The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.
Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of" Heimatortlieu d'origineluogo d'origineplace of origin" in German, French and Italian respectively).
A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin.
A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent.
In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth.
In some countries( primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase" jus soli".
Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality( ies) of the baby's parents( referred to as" jus sanguinis").
There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise.
The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality( ies) of the parents and/ or the location of the plane or ship( if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).
Some administrative forms may request the applicant's" country of birth".
It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's" place of birth" or" nationality at birth".
For US citizens born abroad who under the US Constitution acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA( American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.

Edward Burnett
Edward Burnett( March 16, 1849 – November 5, 1925) was a U.S. Representative from Massachusetts.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Burnett attended St. Paul's School.
He was graduated from St. Mark's School, Southboro, Massachusetts, which had been founded by his father Joseph Burnett in 1867 and from Harvard University in 1871.
He engaged in agricultural pursuits near Southboro, Massachusetts.
He was among the breeders who were originators of the Boston Terrier.
He was an early member of the Tavern Club founded mostly by fellow Harvard alumni.
He married Mabel Lowell, daughter of Boston Brahmin man of letters and diplomat James Russell Lowell and Maria White Lowell.
Burnett was elected as a Democrat to the Fiftieth Congress( March 4, 1887- March 3, 1889).
He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1888 to the Fifty- first Congress.
He served as general manager of Florham Farm the property of Hamilton McKown Twombly and Florence Adele Vanderbilt Twombly in what is now Florham Park, near Madison, New Jersey from 1892 to 1900.
He was also designer and manager of farms for Florence's brothers, George Washington Vanderbilt and Frederick William Vanderbilt.
He became engaged as a farm architect in New York City from 1900 to 1925, for a short time in partnership with Alfred Hopkins.
He died in Milton, Massachusetts, November 5, 1925 and was interred in St. Mark's Churchyard, Southboro, Massachusetts.
James Russell Lowell
James Russell Lowell (February 22, 1819 – August 12, 1891) was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat.
He is associated with the Fireside Poets, a group of New England writers who were among the first American poets that rivaled the popularity of British poets.
These writers usually used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside.
Lowell graduated from Harvard College in 1838, despite his reputation as a troublemaker, and went on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School.
He published his first collection of poetry in 1841 and married Maria White in 1844.
The couple had several children, though only one survived past childhood.
They soon became involved in the movement to abolish slavery, with Lowell using poetry to express his anti-slavery views and taking a job in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as the editor of an abolitionist newspaper.
After moving back to Cambridge, Lowell was one of the founders of a journal called "The Pioneer", which lasted only three issues.
He gained notoriety in 1848 with the publication of "A Fable for Critics", a book-length poem satirizing contemporary critics and poets.
The same year, he published "The Biglow Papers", which increased his fame.
He went on to publish several other poetry collections and essay collections throughout his literary career.
Maria died in 1853, and Lowell accepted a professorship of languages at Harvard in 1854; he continued to teach there for twenty years.
He traveled to Europe before officially assuming his teaching duties in 1856, and married Frances Dunlap shortly thereafter in 1857.
That year, Lowell also became editor of "The Atlantic Monthly".
It was not until 20 years later that he received his first political appointment, the ambassadorship to the Kingdom of Spain.
He was later appointed ambassador to the Court of St. James's.
He spent his last years in Cambridge in the same estate where he was born, and died there in 1891.
Lowell believed that the poet played an important role as a prophet and critic of society.
He used poetry for reform, particularly in abolitionism.
However, his commitment to the anti-slavery cause wavered over the years, as did his opinion on African-Americans.
He attempted to emulate the true Yankee accent in the dialogue of his characters, particularly in "The Biglow Papers".
This depiction of the dialect, as well as his many satires, was an inspiration to writers such as Mark Twain and H. L. Mencken.
Maria White Lowell
Maria White Lowell (July 8, 1821 – October 27, 1853) was an American poet and abolitionist.
Her poems were privately printed by her husband, James Russell Lowell, the poet, two years after her death.
