[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've looked into it.  It can get a little tricky because borders have moved.

For instance, my grandparents were Polish, and came over to America in the late 1800s when all these present-day-countries were under the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, after WW2 the lines were redrawn and their villages are now in the Western Ukraine. So does that mean we look toward Polish citizenship or Ukrainian?  Messy![/quote]

Yes - my ancestors cam from Poland, but due to the borders I don't think we are eligible for citizenship.

[b]My MIL is eligible for Irish citizenship. I wish we had persuaded her to get it before we had kids. That would have made them eligible.[/b] And while I don't know all the details or requirements, it is possible to use that citizenship to apply for college in the EU as a passport holder. So if you have a mom/MIL or dad/FIL that are eligible, encourage them to apply before your kids are born![/quote]

This is not true unless she was born an Irish citizen in which case your kids are eligible for citizenship.
