Hi and welcome to the forum.

It's called Nationality by Triple Descent. It's very rare and appears to have only been granted to children under the age of 18.

Based on what you've told us, and you are serious about this (i.e. want to live in the UK) and not just looking to collect the passport, my advice would be to speak to an Immigration specialist/lawyer.

As a US citizen, you already have the right to visit the UK for up to 6 months at a time; it's known as Standard Visitor and you can read all about this on the UK Gov website; this will take you straight to it.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry I was slow to see it. Too many things are happening in the US, but the six months will be fine for the search.

This summer, I plan to find the flax farms on the Derg River for us old people in the family.

My wife and I will visit our French house on May 1 through Lisbon, Portugal, from Miami, USA.  We both have US Passports and French I'D's 

I would be coming to Northern Ireland from France through the Chunnel, and using the Holyhead Ferry to Dublin and driving to Castelderg, UK. I have already visited Liverpool to see the dock my mother's family departed from for NY in 1849. Dublin is where they departed Ieland for Liverpool. Since I will be switching counties FR UK EU UK Going and Returning after two weeks. UK EU UK FR, I know it is Crazy, but is it possible without getting in trouble? I am confused by what I read about the new rules for UK entry and the EU rules for crossing county borders.

Hi again.

As it stands now, you will not get into trouble by moving between nation-states; as long as you don't exceed the total (so, for the UK, 6 months in a 12-month period) you will have no issues.  There are no border controls between Ireland and Northern Ireland.

I hope you have a great trip.

Hello again. When looking at the Chunnel website in France, they are talking about needing a visa to go to the UK in 2025. Using the Chunnel. This last summer, we drove to Calis and loaded onto the train after a passport check both of us with US Passports, and were asked about how long the vacation road trip was and how much money we had. We drove out of the train in Folkestone and drove to Newcastle upon Tyne, found a Hotel, and did our sightseeing. the next day we drove to Liverpool and found a Hotel. And went to Salisbury and Stone Henge and back to the Chunnel.

Starting January 8, 2025, U.S. citizens traveling to the United Kingdom for short visits, tourism, or business, including those just passing through UK airports, will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) if they do not have a UK visa or legal residency in the UK or the Republic of Ireland.

They have been rolling this out in stages, it will also apply to EU citizens from 2nd April 2025.

It's really no different to people wanting to go to The USA. We have apply for something very similar.
