In early November of 2004 I found that the possibility of citizenship for an EU country was suddenly extremely fucking relevant to my interests, so I looked at the requirements for Irish citizenship-by-descent. I had a great-grandfather who was born there, but it turned out that -- though my mother qualified for citizenship, had she bothered to gather all the required birth certificates and marriage licenses and whatnot to prove the relationship and filled out the required forms and paid the fee (all of which I would have done on her behalf if it would have done me any good), I was a generation too far removed from the Old Country.
I should look into Germany, maybe, though. A great-grandmother was born in Frankfurt. (And, as I found out when I was living in London, I have a doppelganger in Dusseldorf. Possibly a distant cousin.)
