Question:

I would like to know if my mother, whose grandparents were born in France can get a passport /citizenship?

My mom is a South African whose grandparents were born in France then settled in South Africa. I would like to know if she can get a passport and if so can I get a passport through descent?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If your Mom's grandparents left France to settle elsewhere more than fifty years ago, then any claim to French citizenship will have been lost. There is useful information on the following website:
