British citizenship / passport
Would a 8th generation South African, from English decent (1820 British settlers) be able to apply for British citizenship / passport if I have all the prove (death-, marriage- & birth certificates)? What would my chances be?

After 8 generations you have upto 256 ancestors. Are you sure than none of the more recent branches in your family tree have any Irish ancestry?
