gumishu: I think you pretty much misinform here - a general rule of the citizenship law of Poland (at least now) is that an individual is a Polish citizen until he renounces his/her citizenship
After 1962 - yes. But before that law came in, both the 1920 and 1951 laws clearly state that obtaining a foreign citizenship will result in the revocation of the Polish citizenship. Have a look yourself :)
Yeah - it's a common trap. :) It's actually right through to 1962 - there are plenty of provisions in the 1951 law that strip people of citizenship too - including the foreign citizenship.
cafeguy99: Wondering if this is a valid argument: If your info about the 1951 law is correct, my grandfather certainly was Polish until he became naturalized, and that means when my Mother was born, in 1935, as I understand jus sanguis, she accquired Polish citizenship through her then polish citizen father.......
It depends - was your grandfather married to your grandmother at that point? Furthermore - when did your mother acquire American citizenship? And where was she born?
Sorry that this isn't the news that you want to hear, but as I said - Poland is relatively easy to acquire citizenship of as an American citizen.
