You have to go through the process of checking whether all the people with citizenship satisfied the conditions of having had sufficient physical presence in the US after a certain age in order to see whether they were eligible to pass along that citizenship to the children/grandchildren. It is not an abstract concept but has to actually be documented in order to make a successful claim.
