I actually did this, milked the shit out of a free ancenstry.com membership, before they charged me.

Long story short:

Traced my lineage back to the American Revolutionary War? 🇺🇲 ✅

Found out that I am apparently technically, literally an Italian by their blood right heritage laws, and the timing of when my ancestors had children vs got naturalized? 🇮🇹 ✅

(Do I speak any Italian? ❌)

Do I have any Canadian heritage? 🇨🇦 ❌❌❌

Nope. Literally none, back to ~1700 - 1800, through anyone.

So... maybe learning Italian is my future, idfk.

EDIT:

lol, welp:

tl;dr nevermind , Italy can apparently just amend its law via the judiciary, at any time, so... I am not Italian.

perfetto, angry hand gestures
