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.

Parker ’s work on" Ornery People: Who Were the Depression Okies?", a family study in relation to the history of the American South, has led to his becoming a regular contributor to the webzine" Journal of the American Revolution".
Herman Grimm
Herman Grimm (6 January 1828, in Kassel – 16 June 1901, in Berlin) was a German academic and writer.
Grimm's father was Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1859), and his uncle Jakob Grimm (1785-1863), the philologist compilers of indigenous folk tales ("Brothers Grimm").
His other uncle was the painter engraver Ludwig Emil Grimm (1790-1863).
Herman Grimm is believed to have had only one (known) child at a young age, Martin Grimm.
From 1841 Herman attended the Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium in Berlin.
He belonged to a clique associated with Bettina von Arnim (1785-1859), wife of the late poet Achim von Arnim (1781-1831), and started publishing drama and novels.
He began legal and philological studies at the universities of Berlin and Bonn.
In 1857 he visited Rome where the artistic circle of Peter von Cornelius brought his interests to art.
In 1859, he married Gisela von Arnim (1827-1889), the Arnim's daughter, and published his treatise, "Die Akademie der
Künste und
das Verhältniß der Künstler zum Staate".
His short-lived periodical, "über Künstler und Kunstwerke" (1864-1867), published many important essays.
It also contained some of the first photographic illustrations of art in a magazine.
The first volume of his biography of Michelangelo, "Das Leben Michelangelos", began appearing in 1868.
He wrote his dissertation in 1868 from Leipzig and his habilitation (1870) in Berlin.
In 1871 he weighed in on the Hans Holbein
"Meyer Madonna" debate concluding against the sound reasoning of the "Holbein convention" of eminent scholars, that the Dresden version was the autograph one.
He accepted the chair in the newly created discipline of history of art ("Lehrstuhl für Kunstgeschichte") in Berlin in 1872 and remained there the rest of his life.
Grimm published the first (though incomplete) edition of his "Das Leben Raphaels" in 1872.
Grimm's art history writing is characteristic of the period consolidation of standards following unification of Germany, known as the Gründerzeit.
When Friedrich Waagen, for example, criticized in the early issues of the "Zeitschrift für bildende Kunst", Goethe's aesthetic taste of some fifty years before, Grimm, the spokesman for the Gründerzeit, took it personally, refuting Waagen effectively point by point.
Grimm's "Beiträge zur deutschen Culturgeschichte", essays about important cultural personalities, appeared in 1897.
Throughout his life his biographies passed through numerous editions.
At his death he was succeeded by Heinrich Wölfflin.
His students included Alfred Lichtwark; Julius Meier-Graefe studied under him but did not receive a degree.
Grimm's reputation is that of the arch-Romantic, Gründerzeit art historian.
He viewed himself as the intellectual successor of Goethe.
His approach to art history was through the "Great Masters", and arranging significance of art through a biographical account of art history.
His tastes both typified and led German and continental bourgeois taste.
Homer, Dante and Shakespeare were the great writers of their age; in art, only Raphael and Michelangelo could compare.
The nineteenth century's adoration of Raphael is in large part Grimm's doing.
Wölfflin wrote that Grimm showed indifference to all but the very great.
This approach to art history is shared by other historians of his time, including Carl Justi, but was personally savaged in the lectures of Anton Springer.
Grimm was one of the first to carefully study reception theory, though this aspect of his work is seldom considered.
In the 3rd edition of his life of Raphael (1896) he added a section on "Rezeptionsgeschichte".
Perhaps because formal analysis and the sanctity of viewing the original work of art mattered so little to him, he was among the first to use lantern slides (reproductive images) in his lectures.
Grimm's writings were gradually supplanted by superior scholarship in the twentieth century.
His emotional approach to art-historical debate, as evidenced by the Holbein Madonna incident, proved his allegiances were usually closer to nationalism than art history.
In Germany, his concept of the [German] hero as a mover of history was embraced by the Nazis, who saw to it that new and repackaged versions of his writings, such as "Vom Geist der Deutschen" (1943), appeared up until the war's end.
