Claim citizenship if your ancestor was Austrian and lost citizenship due to persecution between 1933-1945, or through other qualifying lineage.
Germany (Article 116), Austria (§58c), and several other countries offer special pathways for descendants of those who fled persecution. These often have no generational limit.
Some countries have no generational limit. Hungary, Poland, Romania, Croatia, and the Baltic states allow claims through ancestors from the 1800s or earlier.
Many countries extend citizenship rights to grandchildren. Ireland's Foreign Births Register, Hungary's simplified naturalization, and Poland's citizenship confirmation all work through grandparents.
If your parent was born a citizen of a country (or was a citizen when you were born), you almost certainly qualify. Ireland, Germany, Italy, Poland, and most EU countries recognize this.
The most common disqualifier is naturalization. If your ancestor became a citizen of another country (like the US) before the next generation was born, the citizenship chain may be broken. However, this varies by country and time period. We analyze your specific timeline to determine if your claim remains valid.
Critical for proving your ancestor did or did not naturalize

Baptisms, marriages, and burials from parish registers
Birth, marriage, and death certificates from government archives
