      My mother is literally German and most of my family is as well, and I can prove direct lineage. But I can’t get Germany citizenship because the laws are so strict.

      You’re right, Great Britain is easier for the children of Europeans, but other countries (possibly Denmark as well) are hard.

          Could you maybe go over the process for how you got Italian citizenship? Trying to go through the process now with my fiancée and it’s… a lot (neither of us speaks Italian either).

          Specifically, how did you go about requesting documents from Italy? How did you know which civil registry to request from? What if I can’t find the civil registry for the state her descendant is from?

          Oh for sure. Your EU citizenship is infinitely more valuable than my German lineage. The EU is a very sweet deal. I can’t how stupid Britain was to leave.

        Wait. What? German citizenship is ancestry based. You should be eligible. You might need to drop the US citizenship though, but I’m not an expert.

      Sure if your family came over here in the last 100 years. My family came over from Ireland somewhere around the famine, it’s too far back, I’ve checked. Y’all need to stop telling us its so easy to just move out of the us, it’s fucking not.
