20. Yeah, mine came 1910-1925

There was also fraud involved! My grandmother's sister said she was my grandfather's sister, and her mother said she was my grandfather's mother. Took me years to figure out these "lost" relatives were people I had known all my life!


My grandmother was married to my grandfather who was a US citizen at the time. That's why they lied about who they were.

My grandfather's "real" relatives were long lost to the ether. I think his mother was already dead at the time.

Who says it won't next week. Scrivener7 Jan 2025 #19
It will likely apply to people born next week and people born today. I have to read the order again. LeftInTX Jan 2025 #21
It applies only to people born 30 days after the order was signed. LeftInTX Jan 2025 #28
And who says that won't change next week? Scrivener7 Jan 2025 #34
He would need to write another EO for it to change to another date. That is the specific wording from the order. LeftInTX Jan 2025 #35
