1. Many generations for me but my wife is an immigrant (Philippines). n/t

[Dem2]

2. One in row 3, one it row 5

Each of us likely has 2 parents, so this can be confusing.

[irisblue]

4. My moms grandparents got to Ellis Island in 1905.

[yesphan]

5. Don't know about mom's side

but my fraternal ancestor that came to America was born in Ireland in 1675.

[Maeve]

6. My family has been here since 1750

Some of the later ones came in by the 1820's....my husband has older roots, with ancestors that were killed here in 1690.

7. Grandparents on my mother's side

Great grandparents on my father's

[Binkie The Clown]

8. A mixture of recent and more distant immigrants.

Half of my great grandparents were immigrants, and one great-great-great was both an immigrant from England AND a soldier in the revolutionary war. My late wife had some native American blood, but as far as I know I don't.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

9. Different on different sides. Proably true for most of us, as we all have

8 great grandparents.

[DemonGoddess]

11. Grandparents on paternal side

great grandparents and grandparents on maternal side. So second and third generation immigrant here.

[csziggy]

12. My great grandfather (Wales) and great grandmother (Canada) were immigrants

And so were my third great grandfather and grandmother (Lincolnshire, UK). The rest of my ancestors arrived in the US before the American Revolution.

13. My families all immigrated WAY back in the 1600s-1700s.

Yes, 1600s. Crazy, eh? Lots of Scots and English and Irish who came into Maryland and South Carolina and worked their way down into the delta and bayous.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. Far removed on all sides of my family.

All of my immigrant ancestors arrived here in the 1600's and 1700's, mostly from the British Isles to colonies in the northeast.

I have 14 confirmed "patriot ancestors" who fought the Brits in the Revolutionary War. I joined the SAR in the past, but the old Republicans that I encountered at local meetings made that a temporary venture.

15. Potato famine Irish on one side

And Mayflower indentured servant on the other.

[TexasProgresive]

16. Kind of split

My maternal great great grandparents immigrated from Germany while my paternal g.g.g.g grandparents were sold along with Louisiana to the US. (maybe another g in there)
