Croatia does not limit it to 2nd generation. As long as you can prove a direct line to an ancestor born in modern-day Croatian territory, you are eligible
Hi! Both sides of my great grandmothers naturalized automatically through marriage before 1922. So in a 1948 petition in court, is it more convincing (ie: twice as strong) to a judge to see that the citizenship by descent exits - because both great grandmothers passed citizenship down to respective sides of applicant's grandparents, which then passed their citizenship down to applicant's parent - to applicant? So, in theory, are two heads better than one?
Hi @salvatoreemma, to apply for citizenship, you just need to prove your descent and eligibility for citizenship through the necessary documents, which will be different in each country. Therefore, it makes no difference whether you are descended from just one relative or more than one.
I was born in Poland 1951, emigrated to Canada with ALL the family 1962. I am a Canadian Citizen and have lived in Canada all my life. How do I obtain a EU membership papers to allow me to purchase property in Spain.
I was born in America and I have a French passport and identity card (my mother was French and father Polish). I got it through the livret de famille doc from my mother. They emigrated here in 1957. How is French residency affected and most importantly, do I qualify for France’s national health insurance? I also have a sister, also dual citizen, who has lived in France for 20 years.
my grandparents on my fathers side were both born in Kronoby Finland. I always thought they were Swedes born in Finland . turns out from my DNA test I am 47 percent Finnish! my dad was born in the USA as was I in the state of Minnesota where I live. could I ever apply for Finnish citizenship?? I would be very interested
The DNA test alone does not allow us to unequivocally establish and demonstrate a link of ancestry with recognized nationality. However, it does provide us with a clue as to where to start looking. If you can demonstrate your European ancestry through documents, depending on the country to which you are actually connected and the degree that separates you from the last ancestor of that European nationality, it may or may not be possible to recover that nationality. However, it is a case-by-case analysis and requires that documents demonstrating ancestry be obtained to determine the feasibility of a request in this regard.
Hi @socomxx, the feasibility of obtaining Slovak nationality by descent depends on several criteria that involve a very specific analysis. Namely the moment in which the ancestor obtained nationality and the corresponding geo-political situation of the place of birth, given the changes that the territories have undergone in recent decades. Without prejudice, generally, it is enough for one of the ancestors to have nationality. However, for a reliable response, a professional analysis is necessary that takes into account the specificities of the situation.

Hey @ThomasRozwadowski, thanks for the question! You don't need EU citizenship to buy property in Spain.

Would my adopted kids get citizenship too automatically if I had it and we lived there?
Hello @Jalapenoruffles8! Thanks for the question. Can you specify the country, please?
I'm half Korean and half white, my grandparent is from Slovaki and was a citizen there. Happen to know if I qualify or do I have to be 100% white.

Germany only allows the male grandparent not the female. Crazy!
