This is a question i'm asking of other countries just to get a comparison.

In Germany would you ever get a group of 1st generation Germans claiming to be another nationality just because one or more parents were born there? Would they ever feel "closer" to that heritage than they do to German heritage even though they were born in Germany and have never set foot in that country they claim?

My grandma originally came from Ireland but I was born here in Germany and only visited Ireland a few times because of relatives living there. I would never claim to be partial Irish though because my roots are in Germany and nowhere else. Maybe if I meet a good looking woman who loves Irish men it would be different.
