Thanks. This is all so confusing. If my kid(s) want dual citizenship, think I’ll let them do the research and document acquiring.
I did visit the Irish Foreign Ministry’s website and saw the application form and list of documents. My biggest problem is that I know grandmother was born in Ireland, but not where. She never discussed it. My family took the attitude that once here, they were Americans and that was that.
I was in a very similar situation and it didn't prevent me from getting it.The Irish consulate accepted my grandmother having been born in Ireland after having been given a copy of her marriage certificate and death certificate...both or which listed her birthplace as "Ireland".If,by chance,you wish to pursue the matter I'd suggest that you give it a try.You just might be able to do it...particularly if Irish authorities haven't changed their policy since I made my application.
