[POLL] Americans: what generation are you ?

[rh71]

My parents were the ones who came to America from somewhere else, so that makes me 2nd generation... what about you ?

 

[Ricemarine]

Parents came from vietnam after the little civil war that broke out in the 70's.

I don't want to go into details, my answer is Beyond 3.

 

[Koenigsegg]

I never understood that. I'm in the same situation as you but I consider myself first generation.

Why should your parents be considered first gen? What if they came with your grandparents? Shouldn't they be first gen and you third?

 

[Schadenfroh]

Great Great Grandfather and his wife came here from Germany.

You could be right, but still, you're answering in my terms.

My grandparents emigrated to the US. I consider myself 2nd generation because I am the 2nd generation born in the US.

Edit: Thanks rh71. I always get them backwards.

[Ricemarine]

Well my parents were the first to come to the US..

Then they brought over their grandparents... and sisters and brothers...

So I don't know..

 

[Yossarian]

I am descended from cavemen in Massachusetts. My ancestors used to hunt triceratops and use the skulls for furniture.

 

[Quasmo]

wait a second... my Dad was born in Japan, but on a military base, I'm melnomically deficiant (a white guy) am I a 1st generation on my Dad's side?

 

[HeroOfPellinor]

Not sure. Great aunt traced my fathers line back to colonial times from Ireland, though I'm around 1/16 Native American so I guess that makes me 237th generation.

Wife is second generation though.

Not that it means anything now, but I'm a direct descendant to one of the pilgrims on the Mayflower, by marriage. Yay me. :thumbsup:

 

[amdhunter]

68th Gen.

 

[Leper Messiah]

On my Dad's side, we got back to the mayflower, and on my mom's side, 3rd gen. My GrandParent's came over from poland in the 1930's...

 

[Rudee]

I'm Viking, and I'll be damned if I can find any good Viking restaurants around.

 

[tami]

[Psyber]

2nd generation.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Beyond 3. My Mom's parents were first generation Americans and my Dad's parents well, they can trace their lineage back to the American Revolution.
