Alexandru B. Știrbei
Alexandru Barbu Știrbei, also rendered Alex.
Știrbeĭ, Știrbey, or Știrbeiŭ( Francized" Alexandre Stirbey"; 1837 – March 13, 1895), was a Wallachian- born Romanian aristocrat, politician, businessman and agriculturalist, the son of Barbu Dimitrie Știrbei, Prince of Wallachia, younger brother of George Barbu Știrbei, and nephew of another Prince, Gheorghe Bibescu.
After a short career in the French Army, he returned to the United Principalities and served terms in their Assembly of Deputies, inheriting the fortune left by his father.
He established pioneering industries around his manorial estates of Buftea and Dărmănești, and became a guest, and sometime host, of literary meetings held by the political club" Junimea".
Știrbei's father renounced all claims to the Romanian throne in the 1860s, and his entire family remained loyal to King Carol I.
While caucusing with the" Junimists", Știrbei also helped establish the Conservative Party, and served as its leader for three weeks in 1881.
He was the Romanian Kingdom's Minister of Public Works and Minister of the Interior under Theodor Rosetti( 1888 – 1889); he only served one more term in a cabinet, as Finance Minister under Ion Emanuel Florescu( 1891).
Știrbei personally dealt with the ramifications of the Strousberg Affair, which led him to participate in the creation of Romania's railway grid.
He was survived by son Barbu Știrbey, who went on to become Prime Minister of Romania and also continued his work in agriculture; and by daughter Eliza, who married another Prime Minister, Ion I. C. Brătianu.
Știrbei was the posthumous grandfather of politician George Cretzianu, of female aviator Marina Știrbei and, allegedly, of Ileana of Romania.
The large estate built by Știrbei, and expanded by his children, was dismantled during the communist regime, which also persecuted his descendants.
It has been restored since, and continues to be lucrative into the 21st century.

George Barbu Știrbei
George Barbu Știrbei or Știrbeiŭ, also known as Gheorghe, Georgie, or Iorgu Știrbei (Francized "Georges Stirbey"; April 1, 1828 – August 15, 1925), was a Wallachian-born Romanian aristocrat and politician who served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs from July 15, 1866 until February 21, 1867.
He was the eldest son of Barbu Dimitrie Știrbei, Prince of Wallachia, and the nephew of his rival, Gheorghe Bibescu; his younger siblings included the landowner and industrialist Alexandru B. Știrbei.
Educated in France, he returned to Wallachia during his father's princely mandate, as a "Beizadea" and aspiring politician.
Fleeing his country during the Crimean War, he served the French Empire before returning home to become Wallachian Minister of War and "Spatharios".
He is remembered for reforming the Wallachian militia during the remainder of Prince Barbu's term.
Știrbei remained a legislator of Wallachia and then of the United Principalities.
He was however strongly opposed to the Principalities' first "Domnitor", Alexandru Ioan Cuza, reemerging by 1860 as a charismatic leader of the conservative opposition.
His involvement in political scandals and electoral intrigues led to his brief arrest that same year, but Cuza was ultimately toppled in 1866.
Following this, Știrbei abandoned his own bid for the throne to serve "Domnitor" Carol of Hohenzollern.
As Foreign Minister, he helped secure recognition for the United Principalities, and made diplomatic overtures toward Austria-Hungary.
Failing in his attempt to become Prime Minister of Romania, he was disappointed with the "Domnitor", leaving politics altogether.
Știrbei divided the second half of his life between homes in Paris and Bécon-les-Bruyères, and was naturalized French.
In this period, he was a collector and patron of the arts, noted as Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's last-ever sponsor.
He was also married to the actress and sculptor Valérie Simonin, adopting her daughters Consuelo and Georges Achille Fould—whom he educated artistically.
His parallel work was as a cultural journalist, and, late in his life, as the posthumous editor of Jean-Jacques Weiss and as a memoirist.
His controversial dealings with Carpeaux, the status of his inheritance, and his paternity disputes remained at the center of public attention long after his death.
Barbu Dimitrie Știrbei
Barbu Dimitrie Ştirbei , also written as "Stirbey", (17 August 1799 in Craiova – April 13, 1869 in Nice), a member of the Bibescu boyar family, was a Prince of Wallachia on two occasions, between 1848–1853 and between 1854–1856.
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.
