Vesturíslendingar (Western Icelander) descent recognition

Example scenarios

• age 38 · nationality: Canadian

  INELIGIBLE for any IS citizenship pathway without IS residence. 4th-generation: citizenship chain broken when ancestors naturalized as Canadian (pre-2003 single-nationality regime severed IS link at each foreign naturalization). Thjodraeknifelag membership has NO legal effect on citizenship eligibility. IS-XCT-VESTURISLAND-01 falls under general s1 jus sanguinis requiring unbroken IS-citizen parentage -- no unbroken chain demonstrated. Article 6 Althingi grant theoretically possible on extraordinary cultural-heritage grounds but exceptional and practically requires IS logheimili for UDI referral.

  IS-XCT-VESTURISLAND-01 is the thematic label for the general jus sanguinis s1 framework applied to the 1875-1914 Gimli/ND emigration arc (~25K emigrants). There is no Vesturislandingar-specific statute. 4th-generation descendants typically cannot trace unbroken IS-citizen parentage.
