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.
Where Was I
" Where Was I?" may refer to:
Sennedjem
The Ancient Egyptian artisan Sennedjem lived in Set Maat( translated as" The Place of Truth"), contemporary Deir el- Medina, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes, during the reigns of Seti I and Ramesses II.
Sennedjem had the title" Servant in the Place of Truth".
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.
Sally Hemings
Sarah "Sally" Hemings (1773–1835) was an enslaved woman of mixed race owned by President Thomas Jefferson.
According to the "New York Times", there is a "growing historical consensus" among scholars that, as a widower, Jefferson had a long-term relationship with Hemings, and that he was the father of her six children, born after the death of his wife Martha Jefferson, who was the half-sister of Sally Hemings.
Four of Hemings' children survived to adulthood.
Hemings died in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1835.
Sally Hemings came to Jefferson's home as an infant with her siblings and her mother, Betty, as part of his wife
Martha's inheritance of slaves from her father, John Wayles.
Hemings was the youngest of six children that Betty Hemings is believed to have had with Wayles.
If true, she was three-quarters European and a half-sister of Martha Jefferson.
In 1787, Hemings, aged 14, accompanied Jefferson's youngest daughter Mary "Polly" to London and then to Paris, where the widowed Jefferson, aged 44 at the time, was serving as the United States Minister to France.
Hemings spent two years there.
Most historians believe Jefferson began using Sally Hemings for sex in France or soon after their return to Monticello.
Despite this, Hemings remained enslaved in Jefferson's house until his death.
In 2017, a room identified as her quarters at Monticello, under the south terrace, was discovered in an archeological restoration.
It is being restored and refurbished.
The historical question of whether Jefferson was the father of Hemings' children is the subject of the Jefferson–Hemings controversy.
Following renewed historic analysis in the late 20th century and a 1998 DNA study that found a match between the Jefferson male line and a descendant of Hemings' last son, Eston Hemings, the Monticello Foundation asserted that Jefferson fathered Eston and perhaps all five of her children.
However, there are some who disagree.
In 2018, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation of Monticello announced its plans to have an exhibit on the "Life of Sally Hemings" and affirmed that it was treating as a settled issue that Jefferson was the father of her known six children.
The exhibit opened in June 2018.
Hemings' children lived in Jefferson's house as slaves and were trained as artisans.
Jefferson freed all of Hemings' surviving children: Beverly, Harriet, Madison, and Eston, as they came of age; they were the only slave family freed by Jefferson.
They were seven-eighths European in ancestry, and three of the four entered white society as adults.
Descendants of those three identified as white.
After Jefferson's death, Hemings was "given her time" by his daughter in an informal freedom.
She lived her last nine years freely with her two younger sons in Charlottesville, Virginia.
She saw a grandchild born in the house her sons owned.

Harriet Hemings
Harriet Hemings (May 1801 – 1870) was born into slavery at Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States, in the first year of his presidency.
Most historians believe her father was Jefferson, who is now believed to have fathered, with his slave Sally Hemings, four children who survived to adulthood.
While Jefferson did not legally free Harriet, in 1822 when she was 21, he aided her "escape".
He saw that she was put in a stage coach and given $50 for her journey.
Her brother Madison Hemings later said she had gone to Washington, DC, to join their older brother Beverley Hemings, who had similarly left Monticello earlier that year.
Both entered into white society and married white partners of good circumstances.
While seven-eighths European in ancestry, all the Hemings children were legally slaves under Virginia law at the time, in accordance of which they inherited the status of their enslaved mother, who was three-quarters European in ancestry.
Jefferson freed the two youngest brothers in his will of 1826, so they were legally free.
Beverly and Harriet stayed in touch with their brother Madison Hemings for some time, and then Harriet stopped writing.
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.

Question: Where did Harriet Hemings's mother die?
