"Did they take the citizenship of another country" is not relevant. Under U.S. law, other countries' citizenships cannot have any effect on U.S. citizenship or the passing on of U.S. citizenship. Only whether they had U.S. citizenship at birth according to the law (which only depends on the parent's residence in the U.S. and marital status), and whether they renounced or intended to give up U.S. citizenship, matter.

Again, this is not my forte, but your post doesn't make sense to me.

In the first part you say that becoming a citizen of another country isn't relevant, that becoming a citizen of another country would have no effect on their US citizenship.

Then you say that only having US citizenship at birth, according to the law (which depends on the parent's residence in the US and marital status) and whether they renounced or intended to give up US citizenship, matter.

The part that's confusing is, if becoming a citizen of another country doesn't have any effect on your US citizenship, how does renouncing your US citizenship matter? You would only renounce your citizenship if you become a citizen elsewhere, which, according to you, doesn't matter in the US. You'd still be a US citizen. Or am I misunderstanding what you're posting?

The two seem to contradict each other.

You are also incorrect that a naturalized citizen can't have it revoked.(a claim you also made early in this thread).because its happened a number of times in the past to a number of people... Google didn't give you that in the search either apparently. But there are there if you look for them.

Its also NOT been established if the OP's mother even has ANY documentation to prove she ever was a US citizen... and proof would most certainly be required for that before the OP could even be considered.

And also despite your post... Once citizenship has been renounced... its gone forever. And it can be and has been taken away from people that have sworn allegiance to other countries when they later gained citizenship there.


But these are all things you won't find out using a simple Google search..

If her mother... can't prove she was ever a citizen as a child (because a lack of existing documents)... and its upon HER to prove... not the USA to disprove... the OP has absolutely NO basis for a claim.

You do not know the law, I am sorry and need to stop pretending to. The issue is not always US law. In cases the other nation may require them to give up US citizenship to become a citizen, Or they may just prefer to. People give up US citizenship every year.

Example, China does not allow dual citizenship, as many other nations.

So your little knowledge is incorrect on this.
