Getting yor Grandfather's Citizenship Back...
A couple of years ago I was talking to a guy in a bar and somehow we got on to a conversation about Italy. Somewhere in that conversation he mentioned that he had Italian citizenship, but couldn't speak any Italian. How could this be? Easy, he had requested his cititzenship based on his grandsfather because he thought it would be cool to have an Italian passport?
Was it really that easy? Italian citizenship just for the asking? Well, not exactly, but pretty close, if your gandparents were once Italian citizens, and you meet some basic condiitions.
Soon I began some research into the details, and while some significant paperwork was involved, and after a handful of screwups on my part, I am now holding MY Italian birth cirtificate in my hands. Pretty cool indeed, and citizenship for my three children came with the deal!
