[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My maternal grandparents emigrated from Scotland. My grandmother remained a GB / UK citizen. She has passed on. Would that help me in seeking UK citizenship? [/quote]
I don't think so.  I don't think the UK has the same generous citizenship rule that Ireland has.[/quote]

Curious — when did grandma immigrate to the US and when did UK recognize women’s citizenry independent of their father/husband? Timing matters as far as the laws go. For instance because two great-grandmother never became US citizens (their husbands did) and Poland established citizenship only for those basically living within its borders during WWI, they became stateless. They also became permanent (non-citizen) US residents (ie, permanent resident aliens).[/quote]

My grandmother immigrated to US in early 1930s.

I was looking at the UK passport site.  It looks like my mother could qualify for UK citizenship (she’s US citizen living in US), based on her father being UK citizen at time of her birth, and her parents being married at that time.  So if my mother got dual citizenship, I wonder if I could then seek dual US/UK citizenship after that?  Admittedly, this seems a bit tenuous. [/quote]
