You write:

Not exactly. US citizen women did not lose their citizenship by marriage to an alien until the law changed in 1907. After the 1907 law, all US citizen women who married aliens lost their US citizenship (presumably gaining the citizenship of their husbands). Prior to 1907, from 1855-1907, US citizen women only lost their US citizenship if they married an alien husband
AND LEFT THE US TO LIVE WITH HIM IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. So, in the example originally posted, not only did the marriage occur prior to 1907, the couple also remained in the US. Thus the woman did not lose her US citizenship>>>>>>

Did this law change again at some time? If not, then in 1954 when my mother married my Danish citizen father, she was not a citizen. Does that mean I can go to Denmark and claim rights as a Danish citizen even though I was born in the US? He never naturalized.
