Back to School!

[walkitout]

A. was a little late, but went back to school in person today. Woot!

I walked with M.

I made blondies.

It was really warm today.

Sadly, the NL citizenship theory evolved with research. I had a copy of my grandfather’s alien registration card in my tree on ancestry, which indicates that he didn’t complete naturalization before my dad was born (yay!) but it turns out Dutch citizenship law expires Dutch citizenship in the presence of another citizenship if you don’t maintain passport / registration / residency. Oops! So, yeah. That dream lasted less than 36 hours. Oh well!

I found a letter today (dated March 30, 1966, written to my husband's aunt from the Dept of Citizenship and Immigration in Ottawa) stating that B's paternal grandfather DID become a naturalized Canadian (or rather, at that date, British) citizen on April 3, 1909. We are quite sure said grandfather never became a US citizen (his wife had to apply for US citizenship after his death in 1933, as she was left a very impecunious widow with eight kids and badly needed to be able to access whatever relief/welfare was then available). As far as I can make out, recent changes in the Canadian citizenship-by-descent law mean that B. is a Canadian citizen, if we can prove all the steps.
