Thank you for that wonderful information. I am having a problem with this site and this is the only way I can respond to you; hopefully it will post online!

Since my first posting, I have learned some new information. Perhaps, since you live in Paris, you could help me?

My mother was born in American Hospital in Paris in 1920 to (as you already read?) a French mother and American father. When he left France, he took my mother with him. I believe my grandparents divorced. My grandmother remained in her native France with one daughter and my mother came to USA with her American father. In order for him to take her with him, he had to register at the Embassy (which means that she was registered as an American citizen at the Embassy and she would have obtained a Consular Report of Birth Abroad.)

So, from what I understand, she was made a US citizen. From what I've been told, she may not have dual citizenship. Do you have any idea who I could contact there (who speaks English) who could help me?

I am also trying to get a copy of her birth certificate and the consular report of birth abroad; any ideas?

I would appreciate your help.

Thank you!
