Program Description
Event Details
Most countries in the New World base a child's citizenship on place of birth, but most countries in Europe base it on parentage — what was the citizenship of your parents? Many of those countries also offer citizenship by descent, or right of return, meaning that if you have ancestors who were citizens of that country two, three, or possibly more generations back, you might qualify for dual citizenship. Two of the best known examples of countries that offer dual citizenship by right of return are Italy (which recently changed some of its requirements) and Ireland. In this presentation, we will discuss the requirements involved for these two countries, which involves gathering documentation, applying, and waiting. We will also talk about how to find out generally if a country in which your ancestors lived offers citizenship by descent and whether you might be eligible.
Co-sponsored by the DuPage County Genealogical Society.
