    It actually does make a very important difference. You might be eligible for citizenship in those countries.

      Yep, my dad and I are currently working with a lawyer to get our documents in order for dual citizenship. Once one of us qualifies my son becomes eligible and we can more easily emigrate to an EU country.

      True, although that would only go as far back as parents or grandparents. And a PDF from 23andMe saying you’re 8% French certainly wouldn’t be usable grounds to claiming citizenship.
