Can I claim citizenship through “jus sanguis?”
My paternal grandparents emigrated to South Africa from Berlin in 1933. My father was born in 1940 in Johannesburg and never claimed German citizenship.

Do you have the birth certificate of your great grandfather? Do you have the birth certificate of your grand mother? Was your grandmother born in Germany?
As far as I know citizen does not pass through the mothers side.
I personally don’t have my paternal Opa or Omi’s birth certificates, but they were both born in Germany. How would I access those documents? Can I email someone?
