Children born abroad in the years 1902-1920.
Children who acquired foreign citizenship by birth abroad (i.e. born in 1902-1920) before 1920 could not subsequently acquire Polish citizenship in 1920, even if their parents acquired those by law in 1920. In contrast, children born abroad after 1920 already acquired Polish citizenship "after their parents" even though they simultaneously acquired foreign citizenship. This interpretation of the regulations is confirmed by the positions of the Minister of the Interior contained in circular No. 18 of 9 July 1925 entitled "Citizenship of persons born and naturalized in America" (Coll. Of the Minister of Internal Affairs, p. 858)
