Hi,
I’m an Australian citizen with obvious British ancestry, colonization and all.
My step grandfather was London born and since passed.
He married my grandmother the year I was born so he’s my grandfather as far as I’m concerned so does this qualify me for British citizenship?
I’m also soon to be a Canadian citizen so I’m not sure whether triple citizenship is possible.
TIA,
Dave

For the the purpose of citizenship, step parents and step grandparents are not counted. It has to be blood relatives or a legally adopted parent or grandparent as far as I am aware.

It is not who you regard as your grandfather, it is who the law regards as your grandfather that matters.

I agree with CR001. For you to qualify through an ancestor, that ancestor would need to be your natural (biological) ancestor or be related to you by adoption (i.e. a paper trail that lists him/her as your direct ancestor).
