The important thing is if you have all the documents confirming your father's Polish citizenship. Also, it would be a good if you owned a property in Poland (not to mention if you had a Polish wife .

My husband have the same problem. The first thing to do is getting a birth certificate from poland. For this you need the name date of birth and place or birth of your grand-father. If your grand-father got a naturalisation certificate you can find a copy in the national archives site online. The site is not easy to use .Iwill try to check his name with my mother-in-law name. Good luck

In case your grandfather didn't loose Polish citizenship you have Polish citizenship also (most probably) --------------- Obtaining Polish citizenship polish-citizenship.pl
