Roland, My mother was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. My grandfather was an American Citizen even though he lived and worked in Hamilton. When my parents were engaged, my mother claimed my grandfather's American citizenship in order to marry my father, who was in the Army Air Corps. The family story went on that my Dad wouldn't have been allowed to marry her unless she was naturalized or an American Citizen through my grandfather. My Dad flew armed recon - a modified P-47 Mustang - Distinguished Flying Cross - three Oak Leaf Clusters. Maybe his security clearance had something to do with the requirement. I don't know if that helps. Sounds rather convoluted now that I read it. Marion Scherer
