I’m an American living in Europe. Was told through a basic consultation with lawyer I qualify for German citizenship. Here’s the rundown:
G-grandfather born 1910 in Dresden. Arrived Ellis Island in 1923. Got married.
Grandpa born 1935.
G-grandpa naturalized as US citizen 1939 (after grandpa was born, 4yrs old).
Gramdpa served as reservist in national guard in 50s. No fighting.
Grandpa fathered my Mother 1963
I was born, with G-grandfather’s German last name to my mother, out of wedlock, 1982.

Lawyer said never ever had an issue with reservist military and some law came into effect in 1999-2000 stating any person joining foreign military renounces German nationality, but grandpa was a reservist prior to this law.

Anyone who posted successfully acquire German citizenship?

As I mentioned, I’m currently living in Europe and this would help me and my daughter immensely. Advice welcome. Many thanks!
