My cousins are descended from our grandfather through their mother who was born before 1948 in America.
My great grandfather was born in Italy and had Italian certificate of citizenship.
My grandfather was born in USA, but had Italian birth certificate and grew up there. (I'm checking to see if he had cert of Italian citizenship.)
My Aunts were born here before 1948.
Neither my great grandfather nor my grandfather ever renounced Italian citizenship nor did they naturalize as Americans.
Do my cousins who descend from my Aunts qualify for Italian citizenship via juris sanguinis?
Thank you very much!
Are they eligible for citizenship?

Re: Are they eligible for citizenship?
It's not a question of when your aunt was born (before or after 1948), but when her children were born. So long as your cousins were born in or after 1948, I believe they are good to go.drovedo wrote:My cousins are descended from our grandfather through their mother who was born before 1948 in America.
