The atmosphere is so heated, and the statements are getting more and more extreme. Let's just assume Harris wins the election. After a campaign like this, how could you ever have a normal relationship with your pro-Trump neighbor/father-in-law/Uncle/Barber or what ever again?

Pretty sure my great great grandparents were German. I'd have to double check that. My grandmother's maiden name is pretty German Jewish, but I can't recall at the moment whether she was a first generation immigrant or not. I did some research on this a few years back, and I would have to look at my notes to confirm.

It's a little confusing because there's a actually some German heritage on both sides - the grandmother above was my father's mother, but there's some on my mother's side, too.

Americans are obsessed with genealogy, and I spent some time on it during the pandemic, so I can tell you I'm some odd fraction German, which you usually can't get to, like 5/8ths, because it comes from both families.

Damn, that is exactly one great to mTuch. If you're great grandparents (mainly your great grandfather)would be born on German soil it would have been easy.

If your heritage is (even partly)Jewish(or you can prove that there was prosecution for other reasons) and you can prove that they lived in Germany (and left before the war ended) there are special rules and you might be eligible.
