The heart of a successful citizenship by descent application is:

1. Thorough screening for eligibility; and

2. Getting the hard to get supporting documents (birth records, naturalization petitions, ship manifest records, certificates of arrival, etc.)

There can be other challenges along the way but these are the two most difficult aspects in most cases.

How about dead empires such as Prussia?

Good question. Depends on the empire and the qualifying relative (place of birth, right of residency, possibly even their ethnicity).

For example, when the Austro-Hungarian empire collapsed, those born in territory of modern day Hungary (when it was Austria-Hungary), received Hungarian citizenship, whereas those born in the new state of Czechoslovakia received Czechoslovak citizenship.

Those individuals are now potential qualifying ancestors for some of their descendants to apply for citizenship by descent in Hungary, Czechia, and Slovakia, respectively.

Thanks. I'm going to investigate my heritage a little more now.
