“Ann married a British transient. Upon marriage did she get British Citizenship? Ann Marrying Obama Sr. I believe gave her HIS status, and citizenship follows the father in any case.”

No Ann did not get UK citizenship by marriage even if the marriage was not bigamous. Nor would she lose her US citizenship automatically in a non-bigamous marriage because that was changed by law in the 1920’s, IIRC. Previously, a woman automatically did lose her US citizenship when she married an alien.

Thanks, I did not remember the 1920 law. :) Got to be clear on facts, right!?
