The father of his grandfather, who also migrated to the United States and became a naturalized U. S. citizen in 1879, was born and lived in Burritt's Rapids, Ontario, Grenville county, Canada in 1838. > It must be because I've only had one cup of coffee this morning, but no matter how many times I read your email I can't figure it out. You say your grandfather was born in 1867. Then you say "the father of his grandfather" - okay that would be your grandfather's great-grandfather.... but you say your gpa's great-gpa was born in 1838 which of course is impossible. It really helps in a query to provide names of those you're asking about. That way if others misinterpret what you mean, or you make a typo of some sort, listers can probably still figure it all out. What i think I know from your email is that * Man A was born in 1838 in Ontario. * Man B (your grandpa) was born in 1867 in Ontario. * Man C was born in USA * Man D (Man C's grandpa) was born in Canada It seems you are asking if Man C, born USA can move "back" (??) to Canada and become a Canadian citizen. You haven't told us WHEN this move happened. If he was born in USA he is/was an American citizen by birth. He moves to Canada and can become a Canadian if he chooses to.
