We isolate the line that matters.
We turn names, places, dates and family stories into the ancestry chain worth testing for citizenship.

Your family history may already hold another nationality.
We analyze your family history across nationality systems to identify viable citizenship-by-descent routes — then show you what must be proven, what is missing, and what comes next.

No country in mind? You do not have to choose one before starting your scan.These guides explain possibilities, not personal eligibility.
One scan. A clear answer about where to look.
You do not need to know which country to ask about or which ancestor matters. The $500 Nationality Eligibility Scan is designed to find the strongest route first.
We test the citizenship events.
Birth, marriage, migration, naturalization, retention and loss are checked at the dates that actually matter.
You get a route, not a research dump.
We explain what looks viable, what does not, the weak points, the missing evidence and the next move.
The $500 Nationality Eligibility Scan
Pay for an answer, not an introductory conversation.
The scan combines ancestry research, nationality-rule analysis and an evidence strategy into one defined starting product. If a viable route exists, you can stop with the roadmap or move into full-service execution.
Multi-country screening
We look across the family history for relevant jurisdictions instead of making you pick one country first.
Historical status analysis
We test the nationality events and legal dates that can make or break transmission across generations.
Viability determination
You receive the strongest route, major risks and a clear explanation of why the path appears viable or not.
Evidence & next-step plan
We identify missing records, proof priorities and the practical next step required to move the case forward.
How it works
Start with what you know. We build from there.
You do not need a finished family tree. A few names, dates, places or old documents are enough to start a structured nationality analysis.
Send what you know.
Names, places, dates, family stories, old records or a GEDCOM are enough to begin.
We run the Nationality Scan.
We map the line, test the historical citizenship questions and isolate the proof that matters.
You get the decision framework.
A clear route assessment, evidence gaps and the exact next step required to advance the case.
A better starting question
Not just where.
Why it could matter.
The destination is only part of the story. Explore the value for your life, the questions for your family and the research behind a difficult case.
01 / The value
The passport is just the beginning.
Explore what another nationality could change, beyond a different document at the airport.
Why a second nationality02 / The people
Bigger than one passport.
Understand the questions for you, your partner and your children, one person at a time.
Explore the family picture03 / The research
Not every story fits a checkbox.
Missing records, older ancestry and unusual timelines deserve a closer look at the evidence.

Client experiences
What a clear route can unlock.
Client experiences across citizenship-by-descent analysis, evidence building and mobility planning.

Germany
“My grandma was German. Jackson & Schwab 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 & Schwab was able to pull a Canadian chain from the 1800s to today for me and my family to pursue our Canadian passports.”
