Dual Citizenship by Descent - Should I?

Hi! This may not be the best forum for the question. If not, please point me where I should write!

I am eligible for Citizenship by Descent for a small country in eastern Europe. This country is in the EU & Schengen zone. I am excited and grateful for this opportunity, but I am having some reservations about proceeding with citizenship.

I have one grandparent that has full heritage in this country, and it was always stressed in our family that this is our immigration story and where some of our roots come from. But due to assimilation in the US, our family does not practice the culture, food, religion, or language of this country - all of those things have been lost over generations.

I would love thoughts from others who have had the same experience. I don’t have any plans to move there or the EU permanently in the near future (despite what is going on politically in the US, I think Europe is headed mostly in the same direction) but I would love to take a year and live in Europe at some point, have the option to live/work there, and possibly provide my children citizenship should I have any. I’ve traveled to Europe once and really enjoyed it - but I haven’t traveled to this country.

Has anyone else obtained citizenship by descent in a country that they don’t really know anything about? How did you feel about it? Obviously I would educate myself about it, but at the end of the day I just feel like another American. This country doesn’t require a language or culture test, just documentation proving I had a grandparent born in the country that emigrated and did not return.

Edit: Country is Croatia
