    I apologize if this is a repeat of someone's question, but there is so much information here it is somewhat confusing. As simply as I can state it:

    I have a Grandfather who was born in Poland (right around 1900) and left for Canada before 1918. He then moved to Detroit and married. I do not believe he renounced his Polish citizenship. My parents were both born here. My question is, of course.....am I in any way eligible to claim polish citizenship? And a polish passport? (two questions, I know, but...)

    Thanks for any clarification!

    The Polish Republic became independent in 11/11/1918 - so if he left before that, he was not a Polish citizen himself coz Poland did not exist. OK? But... the first Citizenship Law says that if he registered in a Polish Consulate in 1920 he would become a Polish Citizen. (and you can't register him now)

    If you have a document stating that he was a Polish Citizen (Paszport, Zaswiadczenie wojskowe,...) then you will have a bigger chance of being a Polish Citizen (if he didn't lose his citizenship later in life - if your father did not lose it - if you did not lose it... you get the picture)

    The question is: Do you have his documents? If not, does the local Polish Consulate have his papers? Is there a government immigration archive to look for his file?
