Not sure if I mentioned this on the blog, I’m pretty sure that I wanted to keep it to myself till I knew for sure. I little while ago I contacted the French Embassy in New York City to inquire if I would be eligible to obtain French Citizenship. You see, my paternal Grandmother was born and raised in France. I actually still do have family that resides in France. Well, I had been going back and forth with a representative from the Embassy via email. She had requested that I obtain copies of various documents (ie: birth cetirficiates, other legal documents….), which I did, and recently sent them to her. Well, today, I got the call I wanted: she called me to confirm that I meet all the requirements to obtain citizenship through decent and will be mailing me some paperwork to fill out to make this thing official. I’m super excited right now.
Oh, and to make this day even more interesting, I called my father’s sister to tell her the news (she had been helping me get copies of the documents that I needed) and she told me that her cousin Veronique’s son is coming to stay with her for the whole month of July. Veronique is her cousin from France and she just started recently talking to her via the internet. Man, the internet is a wealth of information!
So yeah, that’s my big news. Interesting, right?
