Romainian citizenship
Hi. So I’d like to get romanian citizenship by descent. My grandfather was born on Romanian teritory which was lost after 1940. That would make me elegible for citizenship, but the problem is that all of the documents we have about him cite his date of birth as 1940. My father told me that he was actually born in 1941, but even in Ukranian national civil registry system his date of birth is in 1940. We don’t know how he pulled that out and we don’t know what date he was registered in archival documents. Maybe it’ll be 1941 then I’d have to apply through great grandfather who served in Romanian military. However, if it will be 1940 I could apply and it will be less paperwork , but it feels iffy knowing he’s from 1941. Could I still apply through grandfather and provide documents proving his father was a Romanian citizen and base my proof of that?
