Used to be you could trace back your ancestry and see if you might already unknowingly qualify for citizenship in an EU country, Germany for instance has very broad jus sanguinis rules. But presumably Brexit will be putting the kibosh on that route.

are you thinking of Italy? last I looked into it (which I admit was some time ago) Germany only offers citizenship to people with one or both German parents, not people who just has some German ancestry

Right but the parent may likewise be a German citizen without realizing it if they have a direct patrilineal ancestor as far back as the Second Reich. It was German father only until the 70s so my mother who left before then never realized her kids qualified. I guess I'm technically a draft dodger now but I probably wouldn't get arrested like that poor Korean kid did.

But yeah I think you're right, Italy is easier but I don't know the details. Just options on the table for OP depending how Brexit goes.
