Britannica says he was born in 1816 and died May 4, 1897. Is this an issue of orthodox dates someone can resolve? Tfine80 04:55, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_august http://ro.altermedia.info/calendar/calendar-9-16-august_1536.html or even one from where I'm writing (well, on the other coast) http://romanians.bc.ca/modules/news/article.php?storyid=534/

I changed it. It's 1816. I didn't add the date (August 12), since I believe we should also inscribe the date according to the Gregorian calendar. I know for example that Dostoyevsky was born on November 11 (October 30), 1821. So, there seems to have been 12 days between the Julian and the Gregorian calendar, which would make August 24 (August 12), 1816, Ghica's birthday. But I'm not sure that is correct. Maybe Bogdan can check that, if he's in Romania and has access to this kind of information.
