Frnech nationality reg
My grandfather worked for french army in the second world war and he got "carte de combattant volontaire de la résistance " card and now my father and myself are trying to get the french nationality .My grandfather enjoyed french benefits like old age pension and other pensions and he did claim for the injury which happened to him during second world war but before the claim amount arrived my grandfather passed away .

till 1979 he enjoyed all the french government benefits so that "50 years law (loss of nationality by disuse)" will not impact us I guess . Is my guessing right .We already consulted one french nationality consultant he said ok to get nationality for us before but due to the above said law he said some problems are there.This 50 years count will start from 1979 or when ? that is my confusion

I guess the person who hold the nationality should use it in the past fifty years otherwise it will expire Am I right .Please clarify this ?

We are having the following list of evidences

1) My grandfather did "renonciation" formalities. when I asked about it to my father he told that it is a method of giving family name in France. That is my grandfather's name is radjagobalou radjou and in my father's name also this family name radjou is there

2) During 11th November (it is something special for france I guess) he got Rs 50 for each of his children till his death

3) My grandfather got french old age pension till his death(till 1979) from french government

Please guide can i get the french nationality
