If that Wikipedia article is correct, which of course they sometimes aren't, Heather doesn't have to register anything: she is considered a citizen by Britain, unless she's specifically written to the British Home Secretary asking not to be.


And again, if that is correct, she should get herself the UK passport so that she can go places that US citizens can't go and get/import some things that US citizens can't. IMHO, EU citizenship will become more and more valuable as the "loose federation of independent states" becomes the United States of Europe over the next couple of decades -- and by doing so become the largest economic power in the world.
