Countries We Cover

If you have European ancestry or Canadian roots, you may be eligible for citizenship by descent.
Here's where we currently focus our research, and why.

We don't cover every country. We focus on the places where citizenship by descent is realistically achievable for English speakers - no language requirement, a clear legal pathway, and a process you can navigate with the right guidance.
If your ancestry is from somewhere not listed here, get in touch anyway... we may still be able to point you in the right direction.

List of Countries

One of the most accessible EU citizenship-by-descent programs. If you have a grandparent (or in some cases a great-grandparent) born in Ireland, you likely qualify.

No strict generational limit. If you can trace an unbroken chain of citizenship back to a Polish ancestor (even several generations back) you may have a claim.

Citizenship by descent is available for descendants of Lithuanian citizens, with documentation requirements that reward careful archival research.

Descendants of Croatian citizens can often reclaim citizenship, particularly where family ties to the country were maintained or documented.

A smaller program, but a real one. Meagan traced her own family back five generations and secured Luxembourg passports for three generations of her family using this exact process.

Citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis) has no strict generational cutoff, but each generation between you and your Greek ancestor typically needs to establish their own citizenship first. This makes it a process where organized research really pays off.

Citizenship by descent rules changed with Bill C-3 (effective late 2025), opening new pathways for people with Canadian-born parents or grandparents — including many who were previously excluded by the “first-generation limit.”

Meagan is pursuing her own Canadian citizenship through this exact process.

Hungary offers a simplified path to citizenship for people of Hungarian descent. The legal mechanism is different from traditional citizenship-by-descent claims, but the research and documentation process is similar.

Article 116(2) of Germany’s Basic Law allows descendants of people who were stripped of their German citizenship under the Nazi regime to reclaim it — including children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. A meaningful, often deeply personal pathway for those with this history in their family.

Smaller, less-crowded pathways for descendants who can document their family’s citizenship history in these countries.

Citizenship by descent is available to those who can prove an unbroken line from a Slovak-citizen ancestor.
