I’m disappointed to see the Duchy of Grand Fenwick was not on the list. Bunch of citizenship snobs they are.

On a more serious note, some European countries grant citizenship if you can prove a parent or grandparent was born there. That might be worth looking into.

A friend of mine got Irish citizenship that way.

“A friend of mine got Irish citizenship”

Well, that’s like getting citizenship in Kosovo. Today’s Ireland is nothing like that of The Quiet Man’s Sean Thornton.

My great grandparents were born in Germany and they emigrated with several kids to the US before Ellis Island opened. They had more kids after they arrived in North Dakota. They had a total of 10 kids. Typical German North Dakota farm family. My Mom’s Dad was born in North Dakota. My Mom’s Mothers side originally came from the Bern, Switzerland area. My Mom’s parents met at a barn dance in North Dakota.

I could get German dual citizenship by descent.
