Can you tell me some more about that ancestry thing? Seriously, my Dad's side of the family is Italian (grandparents from Italy) but I'm not in contact with any of them and wanna find out what part of Italy I'm from/if I can get dual citizenship.

How does it work? How much coin? Thanks luv

Traditional genealogy will best suit you. Not a DNA test,etc.

I've found just going through official Census records, birth certificates etc. and doing the harder, manual work of research yields better results. Which I guess makes sense. You get what you put into something.

Start with what you know about your family from your parents. Grandparents are the BEST. Because they are older and usually will have more information further back. If you have one around contact them immediately.

As far as dual citizenship, from my knowledge you cannot just show that you have Italian blood through a DNA and receive citizenship. Kinda like a Native tribe right here in the states. They don't care if you have some DNA test saying you are Native. They want to know your relatives names and where they lived to prove your worthiness of inclusion.

Traditional research is going to be your best bet. How much do you know?

Ugh sound hard lolz.

I know my dad's parents came to Illinois from Italy. Also, Italy is the only country where you can get dual citizenship just based on your bloodline. The catch is my grandparents had to NOT have renounced their Italian citizenship before they had my dad.

The problem is I don't speak with any of them and my mom has little to no information. I honestly wanna know if I could capitalize on this situation and have American citizenship and EU citizenship. That and I'm interested about my history. My dad wasn't much a part of my life so I never really experienced Italian culture growing up.

Awww.

In that case, since all you need is proof of DNA to get citizenship, take the DNA test. AncestryDNA has a section specifically labeled "Italy/Greece". If your father was mostly Italian, its gonna definitely gonna be strong enough for the test to pick it up. The test is 99 bucks!

I might do it. 99 bucks isn't terrible and if nothing else I'll know a bit of my history. Thanks love

You're gonna need to post a picture, preferably shirtless, for us to analyze your heritage a bit more.
