My grandfather was born in County Armagh and emigrated to the United States in 1890. Can I become a dual Irish/American citizen and if so, how do I start the process? 
Thanks

Hi John,

Thanks for reaching out. It is great to hear you were able to trace your family roots to County Armagh, have you ever had the chance to visit? We have a dedicated community called Ireland Family History where you can share your experience, family story or try to find out further information on your Irish roots. 

In terms of dual citizenship, if one of your grandparents was born in Ireland, but neither of your parents was born in Ireland, you may become an Irish citizen. You will need to have your birth registered in the Foreign Births Register. You can find out all the information you need on the Citizen Information page here

Let me know if you have any other questions and I would be glad to help out.
