Notes for Rosamond Hilda GRABOWSKY
According to 1978 interview with Eva Grabowsky Simon, Rosamond Hilda Grabowsky/Greene was married and divorced several times. [115]
12 Mar 1914: At the time of her marriage to Francis Patrick KING, Rosamond Hilda GRABOWSKI lived at No. 6 Lake Avenue, Benoni, South Africa. [930]
12 Jun 1924: Under British law, she became a citizen of the U.S. upon her marriage to Henry Benjamin JACOBS who was himself a U.S. citizen. This is reflected in the manifest of the mail boat on which she traveled from Cape Town, South Africa to Southampton, England on 11 Aug 1924. [936] However, at that time the United States did not recognized derivative citizenship, and therefore considered her to be a British citizen. This is reflected in her record on the manifest of the S.S. Olympic when it arrived in New York on 20 Aug 1924. [937] In fact, she would remain in this state of limbo until her application for U.S. citizenship was approved on 24 Dec 1931. [929]
24 Sep 1931 At the time of her Petition for Citizenship, she was living at 5833 Northumberland Ave., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. (This would have been with her sister Eva SIMON.) [929]
