Eligibility check: Ancestors married before emigrating
Thank you for doing this.
I have gone through the guide, but there isn't an explicit path for one ancestor naturalizing while married.
My ancestors were married before they emigrated, and my great-grandfather naturalized before my great-grandmother - but my grandmother was born BEFORE my great-grandmother naturalized.
Great-Grandfather
- Born in 1899
- Married in Germany in 1925
- Emigrated to USA in 1928
- Naturalized sometime in the 1930s?
Great-Grandmother
- Born in 1899
- Married in Germany in 1925
- Emigrated to USA in 1928
- Requested naturalization in 1940 (according to A-record)
Grandmother
- Born in 1939 in USA (in wedlock)
- Married grandfather (not german) in 1959
- Divorced sometime after mother was born
Mother
- Born 1968 in wedlock
- Married my father (not german) in 1994
Me
- Born after 1995 and before 2000 in wedlock
I think it is outcome 3, but the different naturalization dates make me unsure.
