But I could be wrong. It was Canadian Law, at least in the 1930s that stated that when a Canadian married a citizen of another country, they lost their Canadian citizenship and were considered a citizen of the spouse's country. Problem was, that in the 1930s, the U.S. did not recognize this law. In 1932, my mother, a Canadian, by Canadian law, was considered a U.S. citizen. The U.S. did not. She had to obtain a special authorization from the U.S. Consulate in Canada to accompany my father into the U.S. She's 93, and still has her "green card". Andy Romano "Andy" <romanoa@sdc.cox.net>
