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.
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.
Jonas Šliūpas
Jonas Šliūpas (6 March 1861 – 6 November 1944) was a prominent and prolific Lithuanian activist during the Lithuanian National Revival.
For 35 years, he lived in the United States working to build national consciousness of Lithuanian Americans.
He edited numerous periodicals, organized various societies, and published some 70 books and brochures on various topics.
His sharp criticism of the Catholic Church made him highly controversial and unpopular among the conservative Lithuanians.
Šliūpas was educated at home and by his relatives before he enrolled in the Mitau Gymnasium in present-day Latvia.
There he read works by John William Draper that Šliūpas credited for laying the foundations for his lifelong dedication to freethought, promotion of science, and criticism of the Catholic Church.
His studies at the Moscow University and Saint Petersburg Imperial University were cut short when was imprisoned for participating in a student riot in 1882.
He was released due to an illness and, fearing conscription, he fled to Switzerland and later East Prussia.
He accepted an offer to edit "Aušra", the first Lithuanian newspaper.
Šliūpas edited eight issues in 1883–1884 and introduced some socialist ideas.
German police detected some elements of Pan-Slavism in his writings and forced him to leave.
Šliūpas arrived to New York City in June 1884 and, despite severe financial hardships, he began publishing Lithuanian newspapers "Unija" and "Lietuviškasis balsas" and helped establishing the first Lithuanian parish that was separate from Polish.
Soon, Pennsylvania Lithuanians began publishing "Vienybė lietuvninkų" in response to Šliūpas' anti-Catholic and anti-Polish rhetoric.
In 1888, Šliūpas moved from New York to Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, where many Lithuanian immigrants worked in local coal mines.
The new parish priest became a collaborator with Šliūpas and brokered a short-lived peace between Šliūpas and the Catholic camp.
Burba helped Šliūpas to establish the Lithuanian Scientific Society and provided financial help for his studies.
To secure means of making a decent living, Šliūpas studied medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and started a successful private medical practice in 1891.
The collaboration with Burba broke down in 1892.
Šliūpas anti-religious and pro-socialist views grew stronger and louder.
He published socialist weekly magazine "Nauja gadynė" (1894–1896), freethrought monthly magazine "Laisvoji mintis" (1910–1914), various mainly translated texts promoting freethought and publicizing the conflict thesis between Christianity and science, and texts on the history of Lithuania (on the origins of Lithuanians in 1899 and three-volume history of Lithuania in 1904–1909).
He organized Lithuanian miners in response to the Lattimer massacre in September 1897 and during the Coal strike of 1902 and unsuccessfully ran in the elections to the United States House of Representatives in 1896 and 1900.
Šliūpas organized local socialist groups and joined the organized in May 1905.
He quickly withdrew form the party and more active socialist work, though continued to sympathize with socialist ideas.
He was a popular public speaker and by 1907 had given over 1,000 lectures on political, social, religious and scientific subjects.
At the outbreak of World War I, Šliūpas organized the Lithuanian National League of America as the third or middle road between the radical socialists and the conservative Catholics.
He organized fundraising drives to help Lithuanian war refugees, visited Russia in 1916–1918, and publicized the Lithuanian demands for independence in English-language essays and memorandums
(one of them was added to the "Congressional Record").
In 1919, Šliūpas briefly represented Lithuania in London, at the Paris Peace Conference, and in Latvia.
While Šliūpas was respected for his past contributions to Lithuanian causes, he was not invited to the Lithuanian government or held a more prominent public position.
Šliūpas returned to Lithuania in 1920 with substantial savings that he invested in the Trade and Industry Bank and other business ventures, many established by his son-in-law Martynas Yčas.
Most of these investments were lost when the bank failed in 1927.
Šliūpas briefly taught hygiene and literature at schools in Biržai and Šiauliai as well as history of medicine at the University of Lithuania.
He also served as a mayor of Palanga (1933–1935, 1938–1939, 1941), a developing seaside resort, and had to coordinate the response to the great fire in May 1938 that left some 1,500 people homeless.
He continued to promote freethinking – chaired Freethinkers' Society of Ethical Culture, edited reestablished "Laisvoji mintis" (1933–1940), lobbied for non-religious cemeteries, schools, marriage and birth registrations, published numerous anti-religious texts.
For one such text, he was sued by a priest for slander and received a one-month suspended prison sentence.
After the Soviet occupation of Lithuania in June 1940, Šliūpas was invited to the People's Government of Lithuania, but refused.
He continued to be active in public life until his death.
As many other Lithuanians, he fled from the advancing Red Army in October 1944 and was invited to Berlin to record a radio speech to Lithuanian Americans.
He wrote the speech but died suddenly before he could record it.
