Dear Frederick My grandmother was born in Kolomyya in 1908 and my grandfather was born in Wiznitz (Vyznitsia) in 1911. Both towns were Austro-Hungarian territory - Kolomyya was in the Polish province and Wiznitz was in Bukovina. (Both ar epart of Ukraine today.)
They left their home towns to go to Germany in 192/30 where they met and got married We have certified copies of their birth certificates from 1935 when they returned to Poland and Romania (respectively) to get their documents before getting married. Do you think that being born in the AH Empire would qualify for Austrian citizenship? There seems to be real confusion about this Many thanks Alan On Mon, 30 Jan 2023 at 12:46, Fred Weisinger <fredweisinge...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Iris Regarding your citizenship.
