It depends on South African laws, I suppose you can. In most countries, when at least one of the parents was born there, their  children are automatically citizens of that country. Just like in my case. I was born in the US, my parents were born in Brazil. I have dual citizenship. One American passport, one Brazilian passport. I go back and forth without needing a visa. Soon I will have a third citizenship and passport when the process is finalized...my great grandparents went from Italy to Brazil. Italian law says that up to 3 generations down,or kids, grandkids, and great grand kids of Italians born outside Italy have a right to Italian citizenship. Check up on the SA laws... good luck.

The Polish have suffered and still suffer the most.  I am from a town with about 40% Polish, 40% Italian, 10% German, and the rest of us who were thought of as nothings.  The Italians owned the businesses and controlled about 90% of the wealth (the Germans the other 10%), while the Polish were constantly made fun of and made up the majority of the blue collar workers and menial laborers.

Not necessarily. You are a mix of your fathers and your mothers side.\nKeep an eye out for it though.

All three of these answers above me are correct.  Your biological mother would have to be BO and your biological father would be AO and the O allele in each would be recessive, or not showing its trait because of the dominant a/b allele.  A Punnett Square would look something like this:  \nMOM    \n       ||||||||||  B |||  O  |\n       ------------\nD||     A| AB |  AO |\nA||     -------------\nD||     O| BO |  OO | <- That's you with type O blood.  If you had three siblings it would be likely that one would have AB blood, one type A blood, and one type B blood. \n       ------------

German and caucasian are not the same thing because German is a nationality and caucasian is a race. You can be half german and half mexican but you can only be one race. Or of course Biracial.

Hi,, well,,, you are correct that they are all similar but different also.. \n\n Where do you live in America? if so,, i would go with the Mexican varity,, or the regular Spanish that you have in high school or college... \n\n The others would only benifit you if you plan on living in Spain or a South American country.. the Castillian Spanish its called...\n\n Good luck\n PS: I took 2 yrs of Spanish in high school, and when i went to Italy 20 something years later, i picked up Italian so quickly just from what I had learned in those classes in high school....

My son was born in Poland. His mother is polish, I'm Dutch. The time his mother and I were married we raised him bilingual. He know speaks both languages fluently, so he can understand both sides of the family. I think it's important to keep connected with your roots this way (too)

One does not automatically give up their foreign citizenship by coming to America.  However, he may have done so at the time or some time after that.  Many Italian immigrants did to feel less ostracized and better assimiliate into society.  You would be better off asking an older family member (parent/aunt/uncle) who may know.  If not you can contact the Italian consulate closes to you and try to see if they can help you.  You will need your granfather's full name (his Italian one if he changed it), birth day, date of arrival in the US and any other information you can get your hands on to make it easier.

I was born in the US, as were my parents, and there parents.\n\nIn fact, I'm the fourth generation born in California (if you follow the right branches of the family tree).\n\nMy mother's mother's father came here from Europe -- not sure whether her mother was born here or was first generation (French).\n\nMy father's father's mother and father came here (he was Swiss, she was Irish).\n\nMy father's mother's mother was born in California. I believe both of her parents were born in the US.\n\nBTW, if this question gets removed for "chatting" (which I hope it doesn't), it might scrape through in the Polls & Surveys category.

In americian tradition, you're scottish american for 4 generations. In scottish tradition you are ALWAYS a son of the clan and therefore scottish. \n\nTruth is, it's mostly up to you how 'gaelic' you are and how much you embrace your family shared hertiages.\n\nNote: Technically, you were an 'american' as soon as you spent 7 years here, conversly

Most of my ancestors came here from Switzerland.They came here because they were being persecuted in their country because of their religion.One of my ancestors actually had his tongue cut out because he was preaching a religion not allowed.They were Mennonites.
