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.
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.

Erik Benzelius the younger
Erik Benzelius the younger
(January 27, 1675 in Uppsala – September 23, 1743) was a priest, theologian, librarian, bishop of Linköping, 1731-1742 and Archbishop of Uppsala, Sweden, 1742–1743.
He was a highly learned man and one of Sweden's important Enlightenment figures.
As his name indicates, he was the son of Erik Benzelius the elder.
The elder Erik also held the office of archbishop, he was a most learned man who had studied in universities around Europe and he was also a professor of theology at the University of Uppsala.
Like his father, the young Erik first studied at Uppsala and then undertook a journey through Europe.
This was not uncommon for ambitious and somewhat wealthy people during the era.
The academic world had grown in importance as had the sciences, and many notable people were found at the universities in Europe.
Erik met among others Leibniz and Malebranche.
He also spent a great deal of time studying books and scripts from large, old libraries.
He bought or copied several of them.
Returning to Uppsala in 1702, he was appointed librarian at the University of Uppsala.
He was fond of books and worked to expand the library's collection.
Then he studied to be a priest and was ordained in 1709.
He also constantly kept in contact with learned men from Europe and in Uppsala.
These included botanists, mathematicians, historians and scientists of other faculties.
The correspondence have been kept and were published after his death.
Benzelius married Anna Svedberg in 1703.
She was daughter of the Swedish clergyman Jesper Swedberg and sister of the scientist (and later mystic)
Emanuel Swedenborg.
Erik was a benefactor of Emanuel, and perhaps the only person to pay due respect to his scientific discoveries.
Erik was a supporter of all kinds of knowledge and discoveries.
There is also evidence to suggest that he had contact with Johan Kemper a Kabbalist and Jewish convert to Christianity who also worked at the University of Uppsala.
Some scholars see Kemper as a possible source for apparent Kabbalistic influences on Swedenborg's thought.
Benzelius' theology was marked by his father's orthodox beliefs and he wrote and published several books in theology, as well as in different sciences.
For instance, he was the founder of the first scientific magazine in Sweden, "Acta literaria Suecia", which existed from 1720 to 1739.
He was also an active member of the Swedish parliament, the Riksdag of the Estates, from 1723 to his death.
And he was generally described as being interested in anything that might benefit his country.
In the Riksdag of 1738, he handed a letter of protest from the delegation from the Clergy Estate to Frederick I of Sweden, protesting of the monarch's adultery with Hedvig Taube: he was involved when the matter was raised again during the Riksdag of 1741.
He was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1740, and was its president in 1743.
