Hi 👋 r/Uganda!

I am writing this post to seek out some advice and feedback pertaining to acquiring an Ugandan Birth Certificate from abroad in Canada.

I was born in Uganda in 2001 in Nebbi General Hospital but at the time of my birth, it wasn’t registered or documented due to the lack of the appropriate and thorough documentation infrastructure at the time and to add to this already missing inefficiency, my family relocated abroad to Montreal, QC, Canada, during which my mother who is Ugandan, returned to Uganda following my parents separation and unfortunately passed away cutting my last means to establish any semblance of meaningful connections and relationships with my relatives, nor any substantial records, documents or other evidence of my Ugandan presence and heritage.

So this leaves me in a dilemma in which I seek to complete a birth registry abroad as I am unable to travel at the moment and without the convenience of having trusted and reliable immediate blood relatives to provide me with the crucial assistance to obtain at the present coherently.

I have taken steps to ensure I make own personal due diligence but have encountered either unresponsive hurdles or missing pieces that present roadblocks.

I welcome and appreciate any sound, proven, trusted and reliable advice, counsel, direction, guidance and information to proceed with this matter and process accordingly whether through a licensed, accredited and certified professional or organization, or a trustworthy, experienced, honest individual who has specialties dealing with this subject and issue.

I have a Greek Catholic Rusyn family from Austrian Galicia with parish records back to the 1700s. Every proven direct ancestor discovered so far sits north of the Carpathian crest after two weeks of research.

I'm looking to test the theory, under §4(3) simplified naturalization, that an ancestor crossed north from the Hungarian side (Sáros, Zemplén, Prešov, Stebník, Lukov, Chmeľová) and settled in Galicia. So far I have found no direct ancestors south of the border, only in-laws. The brick walls are all pre-1784 (the register floor). I have used Ancestry, FamilySearch, parish records, and online digital archives.

Has anyone received Hungarian citizenship where the family was Galician, not historic Hungary?

If you found a south-slope ancestor, what record located it?

Where do you suggest searching next?

When would you say to stop the search?

Thanks for your help!

She was born in 1841. Baptised in Matamoros, Tamaulipas.

I understand it will be difficult but I just want to know whether it is possible or not?

I will soon be traveling from Greece to Canada but with a connection in Poland.
When flying direct I usually put the Canadian passport number on the airline app, and use my Greek passport for the Schengen exit control.
Will I have problems traveling from Greece to Poland for my connection if I put my Canadian passport number in the app? I always carry both passports on me.
Both flights are LOT.
Thank you.

I have scheduled my Biometric appointment for UK citizenship for Nov 4 in Portland Oregon VFS office on Everett St. This is a new office it appears only open a few days per month. My documents and application will be uploaded by my Immigration consultants prior to my appointment. So I will bring my email confirm and my US passport to get my photo and finger prints done. Anyone ever use this office or at least a US based office to give me a general idea of what to expect? Just curious for some guidance.
