I have Irish blood from both my parents. My relatives came over in the 1890s. Would there be a way for me to become a citizen even though my ancestors coming to America was 130 years in the past?

If the following is still accurate, then yes in a roundabout way.

Apparently some countries in the EU are easier than others to get a citizenship in. Italy is the one I last knew about. Once you have that, you can move anywhere in the EU and become a citizen there.

This is from a story I read almost 20 years ago from a guy who did this. Then used a tax loop hole to move his assets to Ireland, then some other country where he could redeem it all tax free.

I have 0 ounces of guinea in me. Although the extreme north of Italy was pulled away from I believe Austria after one of the wars.

Oh I thought that Italy was a by birth or ancestry kind of place aside from all the shitskins floating over in dinghies.
