Place of origin
In Switzerland, the place of origin( literally" home place" or" citizen place") denotes where a Swiss citizen has their municipal citizenship.
It is not to be confused with the place of birth or place of residence, although two or all three of these locations may be identical depending on the person's circumstances.
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.

Aleksey Greig
Aleksey Samuilovich Greig (Russian: Алексей Самуилович Грейг)
(6 September 1775 – 18 January 1845), born into the noble Greig family, was an admiral of the Imperial Russian Navy.
Born in Kronstadt, he was the son of Admiral Samuel Greig (1735-1788, then Governor of Kronstadt), brother-in-law of Mary Somerville, and father of General Samuil Greig (1827-1887), Russian Minister of Finance.
He studied at the Royal High School, Edinburgh under the Rector Alexander Adam from 1783 to 1785, and then served as a volunteer on board , under Captain Thomas Troubridge.
Greig started his career in the British Royal Navy, serving in East India and Europe from 1785 to 1796.
He returned to Russia to take part in the Mediterranean expeditions against France from 1798-1800.
Under the command of Admiral Dmitry Senyavin, he distinguished himself in 1807 in the Battle of Athos and the Battle of the Dardanelles, which resulted in the Russian occupation of Lemnos and Tenedos.
At the close of the Napoleonic Wars he was placed in command of the sea blockade of Danzig during the 1813 siege of Danzig.
Greig was not the only Russian officer of Scottish descent.
While still a captain, he and another Scotsman, Captain Brown, were involved in some trouble due to the wreck of the Imperial frigate "Archangel" in 1797.
In the following year, in the squadron off the Texel, he commanded the 64-gun "Retvizan"; and Captain Robert Crown, said to be a Scot, had the 74-gun "Utislaw".
In 1801 Greig was banished to Siberia for a time, in consequence of boldly remonstrating with the Emperor Paul for his severity to some British naval prisoners.
In 1816 Greig became Commander of the Black Sea Fleet, a post which he kept for 17 years.
At the same time, he served as Military Governor of Sevastopol and Nikolayev, introducing so many reforms and improvements that the grateful citizens of Nikolayev would later erect a statue to his memory in 1873.
During the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-29, Greig's bold leadership made itself felt at the Sieges of Varna and Anapa.
He was in full command of the Russian fleet, which he had brought from Sevastopol:
forty vessels, eight being of the line, acting in conjunction with the troops under Prince Menshikov for three months by sea and land.
During these operations the Emperor Nicholas I of Russia was his guest on board the "Parizh",
which had the Diplomatic Chancery and 1,300 persons under her flag.
In 1833 Greig was recalled to Saint Petersburg, where the Emperor Nicholas appointed him a member of the State Council of Imperial Russia and asked him to superintend the construction of the Pulkovo Observatory.
An atoll in French Polynesia Niau is named Greig after Aleksey Greig.
It was named in his honor by the Russian Admiral Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen in 1820.
Samuel Greig
Samuel Greig, or Samuil Karlovich Greig , as he was known in Russia (30 November 1735, Inverkeithing, Fife, Scotland – 15 October 1788, Tallinn, Estonia, Russian Empire) was a Scottish-born Russian admiral who distinguished himself in the Battle of Chesma (1770) and the Battle of Hogland (1788).
His son Alexey Greig also made a spectacular career in the Imperial Russian Navy.

He was buried along with his wife, Iyneferti, and family in a tomb in the village necropolis.
His tomb was discovered January 31, 1886.
When Sennedjem's tomb was found, in it there was regular furniture from his home, including a stool and a bed, which he actually used when he was alive.
His titles included Servant in the Place of Truth, meaning that he worked on the excavation and decoration of the nearby royal tombs.
