We identify the countries, generations and legal questions worth pursuing.
Nationality research & citizenship strategy
Family history, researched with an outcome in mind
Your family history may already hold another nationality.
We trace ancestry, status and migration history to identify viable nationality pathways — then build the evidence around the strongest route.

Start with the family. Find the route.
Family history gives us the clues. Nationality law tells us which ones matter. We connect the people, dates and records into a route you can actually use.
Build the evidence.
We trace the relevant line and isolate the records that can prove it.
Know what comes next.
You get the strongest route, the weak points, the missing evidence and the next move.
How it works
Start with what you know.
You do not need a finished family tree. A few names, dates, places or old documents can be enough to open the right line of research.
Send the family story.
Share the people, places, dates and documents you already have.
We test the routes.
We research the nationality questions and evidence gaps that actually matter.
You get a path forward.
A clear explanation of the strongest route, supporting evidence and next steps.
Typical engagements
Clear starting points. Scope before surprises.
Nationality cases vary enormously by generation, jurisdiction and documentary gaps. These are starting prices, not flat country-by-country packages.
Initial assessment
$195 starting
Review known ancestry, identify plausible nationality routes and flag what is worth researching further.
Full nationality research
$500 starting
Build the relevant family line, research historic nationality rules and identify the evidence behind the strongest route.
Complex / multi-country
Custom quoted per case
For deeper archival work, multiple family lines, restoration routes, historic status questions or unusually complex chains.
Initial assessments are typically completed in 3-7 days.
Full research engagements are commonly 1-4 weeks, depending on record availability and complexity.
Client experiences
What the research has led to.
Real client experiences across citizenship-by-descent research, evidence building and mobility planning.
Germany
“Jackson was able to produce a chain for me and my children to get German passports. I had been thinking about it for years. With Jackson, it happened quickly.”
Citizenship by descent
Germany
“My grandma was German. Jackson helped me build the evidence chain quickly from just the basic details I gave him — German passports for me, my mom, aunt, siblings, and eventually my children too.”
Evidence chain research
Canada
“Jackson was able to pull a Canadian chain from the 1800s to today for me and my family to pursue our Canadian passports.”
Historical nationality research
Mexico + Spain
“Jackson helped me navigate my Mexican citizenship chain and also sent me resources for the Spanish Ibero-American visa process afterward.”
Citizenship + mobility planning
There may already be another nationality in your family.
