Hi everyone!

I’m trying to determine whether I might be eligible for German citizenship by descent.

My known lineage is:

Great-great-grandfather
• born in Germany (year unknown)
• emigrated to Argentina before 1911
• was a German citizen when he emigrated (as far as I know)
• naturalized in Argentina: unknown (currently researching)

Great-grandmother
• born in 1911 in Argentina
• older siblings were born in Germany before the family emigrated
• married in Argentina (year unknown)

Grandfather
• born in Argentina (year unknown)
• deceased
• never applied for German citizenship

Parent
• born in Argentina (year unknown)

Self
• born in Argentina

My main questions are:

1. If my great-great-grandfather was still a German citizen when my great-grandmother was born in Argentina in 1911, could she have inherited German citizenship?
2. If yes, could that line potentially continue down to me?
3. Which documents should I prioritize finding first?

Thanks guys! :)
