Abraham Irwin Bolton un medic şi chirurg englez din Irlanda, stabilit, la 1870, în Constanţa (un studiu biografic şi genealogic)

  • Subiect: „The port of Constanţa and its surroundings were brought again to a modern life (after 400 years of Ottoman Turkish obsolete rule) by the activities of the British "Danube and Black Sea Railway & Kustendjie Harbour Company Limited”. At that time, there was one doctor only, a Greek, the quarantine Dr. Papasaul, assigned by the Turks, and busy enough, to check the health of the Muslim pilgrims intending to go to Mecca. Thus, an English Naval Surgeon and Physician, Abraham Irwin Bolton was enrolled and assigned to take care of the British Railway Company’s staff and workers, and he was entitled, in this position, to run the Company pharmacy as well. In this way he started in 1870 his lifetime medical practice in Constanţa. He became a legendary figure of the town, and remained to practice medicine even after this territory was reunited with Romania, as a result of the Independence War (1877 - 1878). He eventually established himself definitively with his family in the town and died there in 1909. This family history and genealogical study investigates the roots of this Anglo-Irish medical professional, his health caring, pharmaceutical and even diplomatic (consular) activities in Constanţa, and his Romanian family and descendants.”
