Father British, Mother American

[bigbl5]

Hi, I searched around, but could not find any answers on point.

I was born in 1970. My father was born in 1944 in England, to my unwed English grandmother. My grandmother brought my father to the USA when he was a child. He eventually became a naturalized US citizen - before I was born. He did not renounce his British citizenship. My mother is American.

I am curious if I would be eligible for citizenship by descent and could I apply for a passport?

Were your parents married?

Yes, my parents were married.

Then you are likely British by Descent and can apply for a passport directly.
