Travel warnings for children of Polish citizens. [6]
Phew! Ok then, thanks :D I know this travel warning was out in the US and Canada a few years ago but didn't know if it was still around or had been lifted/debunked. It was due to the case of a man who went over to visit his grandparents and ended up being conscripted, around 2007 I think.
Ah, here is the 'jus sanguinus' bit:
Pursuant to the law, a child acquires Polish citizenship by birth to parents, at least one of whom is a holder of Polish citizenship, irrespective of whether the child was born in Poland or abroad (Article 14 point 1 of the Polish Citizenship Act).

So that totally confused me :)
