I have a question about jus sanguinis. This is an off-shoot of the question for which I created a separate thread. Does jus sanguinis work through the male line only?
In my case, my great-great-great-grandfather moved to Russia in 1861 and died in 1903. He did get Russian citizenship, but his son was born before that, so I believe my great-great-grandfather, is a Luxembourger by jus sanguinis. He never asked for Russian citizenship as he had it by birth, so I believe he never lost his Luxembourg citizenship then. Therefore, I think my great-grandfather was also a Lux citizen by jus sanguinis.
Now, here is where I'm wondering about jus sanguinis through females. My great-grandfather had a daughter, my grandmother. I assume she should be considered a Lux citizen by js. When she married, she kept her last name is honor of her father. Curiously, my father was issued 2 birth certificates, one with his father's last name and one with his mother's. As his mother died when he was very young, he decided to go by his mother last name in her honor, so I have the same last name as my Lux ancestors. Now the question is - did she pass jus sanguinis to my father and I?
Appreciate all thoughts. Also, I'd like to contact Luxembourg to get their official take on this; what would be the best email/address/contact to reach out?
Many thanks and a happy New Year to all!

Its a good question; and of course difficult to answer since it depends on how its interpreted. One answer is that jus sanguinis works with females as well, at least with Luxembourg. There are many here that have reclaimed nationality because of female aieuls that never had lost the Luxembourg nationality in 1900.
If I follow your lineage then your GGGF was born in Russia and although he never asked for Russian nationality, he was by birth. A thing to remember is that Luxembourg did not apply nationality simply by JS, Luxembourg like Germany only allowed their citizens to have one nationality, either you were a Lux national or you were a national of another country. Its possible that your GGGGF might have registered his son as a Luxembourger but its probably unlikely. So, again my interpretation, is that your GGGF was Russian because his father never registered him to the Luxembourg government, hence your GGGGF was the last one to hold Lux nationality.
Unfortunately it also brings the condition that your aieul had to possess lux nationality in 1900, its possible that Lux might not consider him either since I am presuming your GGGGF took Russian nationality before 1900 if he died in 1903. So that means that by taking Russian nationality before 1900, in effect he renounced his Lux nationality before 1900 and hence would not qualify since he was not a 'luxembourger' in 1900.
Again these are my interpretations, you really need to talk with the MoJ since your case is a bit more complicated.
Please let us know the result so that it can add to all our knowledge.
thanks

Thanks for your reply. The latter part doesn't sound right, as there is no requirement to prove that your Lux ancestor did not get naturalized before 1900, and there are plenty of folks (on these boards too) whose ancestors were naturalized Americans before 1900 and they got their certificates without any problems.
Anyway, I'll talk to MoJ and report back here.
