Law / Lviv born. Can Polish ancestry be claimed? [34]

I am sure this topic has been covered many times so I apologise for what may be a repeat of previous threads. I am attempting to advise/help a Young person who was born in Lviv explore the possibility of obtaining Polish Citizenship.

The information I have is as follows: They were born in Liviv (Ukraine) Mother and Father Ukrainian. Grandmother Ukrainian (Born 1946) Great Grand parents Polish. My thoughts are firstly to obtain whatever records I can on the Great Grand parents no easy task but I believe possible. My question is this should I be successful in producing the documents would this be enough to start the process?

I would also be very pleased to hear from any other members of this forum who have followed this route and to hear of their experiences.

I would be also grateful for any leads to archives in Poland that might hold records to this end.

I will obviously be consulting the Polish consulate in Lviv.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome.

I thank you all in advance.

Martin

I am English living in Ukraine. I have lived here for the last couple of years and love both the Country and it's people. I am trying to help a young person to trace her Polish roots and if possible get a Polish passport. I hope that in years to come Ukraine will gain it's place in the European Family.

Yes This is 100% genuine. I fully understand that a lot of Ukrainians and other nationalities would try anything to get into the EU for all the benefits it offers. I do not condone this.

In my profession I am used to people trying all sorts of ways to convince me they are genuine. Most are desperate and just want a better life.

This interests me in the research and history side

No just one Ukrainian who wants to live and work in Poland. I am English and live in the Ukraine as well as make monthly visits to Poland for business. Not every young Pole wants to go to the UK or Ireland. Poland needs more young people to balance its losses.
