Can I get german citizenship even though my father married my mother after I was born
My father, who is now deceased, was a dual german & american citizen. He was born in germany to my grandmother who is German and my grandfather who is American. My grandparents relocated to the states 5 years after my dad was born. My grandparents kept my dads german birth certificate & german passport. Upon relocating, my grandmother gave up her german citizenship (during the 50's dual citizenship was not recognized). Years later, I was born. I was born in the states. Four months after I was born, my parents married. My question is-- Am I entitled to dual german/american citizenship since my father was a german (and american) citizen at the time of my birth? Can I still claim this even though my parents were married shortly after my birth? And, can I still claim this even though my dad is deceased and never registered my birth with the German government since I was born in the states?
