Hi Doc, I was going through old e-mails. I don't know if you ever got a reply to your query. Before 1922, if a woman married a foreign national she lost her citizenship. After 1922, if a foreign woman married an American, was still a foreign national. No longer did a woman have derivative citizenship. Perhaps, she was married before marrying Anton Posch? Did you get a copy of the citizenship papers to see what they said? If you still have not gotten the marriage certificate you can order it from the Family History Library for $4.00.
