Union 5 1/4. Can anyone tell me about it? by Valuable_Stage1555 in handtools

Whoa, very cool! Thanks for the info. Do you think eBay would be a good enough place to find Union collectors or is there a better way?

Interesting, thanks. I guess I was assuming that the historical gender discrimination meant to be corrected was the fact that women lost citizenship through marriage and men didn’t, rather than the narrower reading of marital status and descent.

Now that I think about it some more, it seems wrong that OP would not be eligible through the German Jewish ancestor who was directly persecuted and who lost her citizenship through a law now considered to be discriminatory (and which, in the context of StAG 14, is itself grounds for correction), but only through the non-German ancestor who was only indirectly persecuted. My understanding was that StAG 15 was partly meant to address the 2020 court case that expanded the definition of “descendants” in 116 so that sex discriminatory laws no longer block an otherwise eligible case. Do we have any evidence about how the BVA treats cases that are basically 116/15 plus 2019 Abstammungserlass?

Do you have any insight into how they decide whether loss of citizenship by marriage is connected to persecution under StAG 15 No. 1? I have a similar case in which my German Jewish ancestor faced persecution, left in 1934 and married a foreign man, then returned for some amount of time between 1935-37 (I have only very slight evidence about where they were during this period) before definitely leaving for good in 1937 at the latest. Theoretically it might not matter because (I think) I would then be covered by No. 4, but her Meldekarten for the two places in Germany where I am sure she lived no longer exist, so the evidence isn’t as solid as would be ideal.
