my grandmother was born a Canadian and my mother was born in Canada. However, my grandfather was a U.S. citizen so, when my infant mother was brought across the border, she, too, was a U.S. citizen.

You would assume the nationality of your parents.

I know a guy who's father was English, his mother was American and he was born in France. Guess who has three passports.


Now I'm going to read the article.

That might have something to do with the fact that it was before the days of record keeping, so anyone can obtain a US Citizenship fairly easily...

Are you the great-great-great-great-great-grandparent of Rip van Winkle? What year was it when you began your multimillenial hibernation? The gramophone was invented well before my mother's birth, thank you, and my mother kept quite a number of records (even had a record of her from the days she sang over the radio -- also well before I was born).

;D

I also have a copy of my mother's birth certificate and my grandmother had hers, too: even Canada kept records back in my great-grandparents time. Let's see, the earliest records were a few thousand B.C.? Sumerians on clay tablets, Egyptians used papyrus (from which the term 'paper')...

I would have expected a simple answer to that question, but having read the whole article I am still no wiser, and all it has given me is a headache.... ...!

Paul.... ...!

If my dear old Mum was in danger of giving birth to me en-route to the United States, I hope that she would have thrown me out of the aeroplane before we landed there... ...!
LOL... ...!

Oh, come on now, it's not that bad here.  The weather is nice, and, ummmm, well,  did I mention the weather?

Aww, come on, not all of us 'merican fellers tawk like that. It's only people from Saint Lewis...

LOL... ...!
America Accents....
It's a funny old do, but I can tolerate the (up-market) male accents from the Northern States....
...but the further one goes "Down South" the more they make me want to curl my toes up...
..and as for Women's accents...well....did I mention Dolly Parton?.... ...!
Actually, I get the San Francisco streaming video news sent to me every day from Kron4, and that is a good example of an acceptable American accent (providing that I mute the Women's voices)....LOL... ...!
...the New Yorkers are OK as well, you will be pleased to know......!
Paul... ... ...!
P.S. ...there you go.... "Saint Lewis"....that says it all....LOL.......!
