    I do not have real experience but as I understand it, (according to USA citizenship laws), in order to have dual citizenship, your parents would have to be citizens of one country but your mother gives birth to you in another country.

    So say your parents are American, and your mother gave birth to you in France, you would be a USA citizen and a French citizen.

    It is immediate lineage, not distant lineage or extended family lineage that makes you a citizen.

    If it worked the way you want it to, I'd be a citizen of Scotland, Ireland and Portugal along with the USA ;)
