hi all! any dual citizens here?

[mopinko]

didn't even know y'all were here. how great!

so, anyone here a dual citizen? i am told i am entitled, 2 grandparents (one in each side) were born there, and all great-grandparents were. i am trying to get birth certs together. i have a lot of info on my dad's side, very little on my mom's.
i have a friend who still has family in dublin, and who goes back twice a year. she is trying to track down more info right now. i am hoping that she can get a birth cert, so that i wont have to try to get it from here.

any done this? or even gotten such docs? was it hard?
i found out i could do this about the beginning of the war, and i heard at the time that there was a long wait. i have basically just been sitting on my ass all this time....
i live in chicago, so there is an irish consulate here. not sure how much help they can be. or how much they want to be. but i understand that heritage travel is a big business.

and- a big shout out to all my cousins here!
