Polish citizenship for Brit grandson of Major Janusz Brochowicz-Lewiński

Hi, my situation is somehow a little complicated.

My father was 1/3 Polish, 1/3 British, 1/3 Scottish , his mum being 1/2 Scottish/British and dad is Polish Major Janusz Brochowicz-Lewiński. As far as I am concern, my dad was a British citizen, I am not sure if he was a polish citizen as well because of his father. My dad's parents were seperated/divorced when he was at a very very young age and his mother (my nan) remarried to a Scottish man. My father and his siblings were adopted by my nan's new husband and had their last name changed. And so my dad and us have been using the Scottish last name eversince, even after my (adopted) Scottish grandad passed away.

It has been a while since I last saw my paternal Polish grandad Janusz Brochowicz-Lewiński. The last time I saw him was before my parents seperated. Sadly my dad passed away a few years ago. But I am still in touch with my Uncle whom was still in touch with my Polish grandad. Just like my dad, I am 1/3 Polish, 1/3 Scottish and 1/3 British.

I would like to know where do I stand with regards to applying for a Polish citizenship for myself and my wife. By the way, I am a British citizen by birth/ancestry because my mother is british but my wife of 4 years is not a British Citizen (yet). Do I have to give up my british citizenship for a Polish citizenship and does my wife has to give up her citizenship as well? Do we have to live in Poland for a certain period of time before we could apply for citizenship?

Many thanks in advance,
JSM

I agree, complicated situation...your wife is not English ?...i think you'd better ask the Polish embassy...maybe some people here can give you some more advice ;)

Your wife will get polish citizenship if you will get yours based on your "blood"

I'm not sure how did you came up with those numbers of yours but your wrong. Your father was 1/2 polish 1/4 scotish and 1/4 british. Then he prolly maried somebody non polish which would make you 1/4 polish.(ah the math classes nobody like them anymore) This gives you quite big chances of your application beeing accepted as long as your father had polish citizenship or you can document upholding polish traditions (speaking polish helps). Obviously all of this will be done in the nearest polish consulate.

I must say tho that I am very intrigued why a typcal british family wants to get citizenship, so what's with you?

Update:
no wait, this is actualy intresting.
Your wife may not get polish citizenship even if you get yours. Your wife would have to apply for it and resign from hers(british one I guess) shortly after your mariage. But obviously your werent polish at the time - ah the beauty of beaurocracy.

You could always divorce her and remary. lol.

Or how to make a love story a second chance... ;P
