 * According to his biography (B.P. Mukheev and Igor Sikorsky), his family was Moldavian with Turkish origins, but Bothezat was born in St. Petersburg. After his father died, they could no longer afford to live there and moved to Bessarabia.  It says before Kharkov, he attended the technical high school of provice of Kishinev.  Is that the same place as "Alexandru Ion Cuza"?  This of course was during the time that the region was part of Russia.  DonPMitchell (talk) 20:08, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

According to this source (his obituary ), George de Bothezat was born in Bessarabia, not Saint Petersrsburg. Just to clarify - Saint Petersrsburg is not in Bessarabia. Bessarabia is currently Republic Of Moldova.

For history sake I think both sources have to be mentioned. S11855 (talk) 02:38, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
