If you are a great granddaughter of an immigrant what generation American are you?

Your great grandparent would be the immigrant. Their child (your grandparent) would be American born, so they would be 1st generation American. Their child (your parent) would be American born and 2nd generation. So you would be 3rd generation American. However, if your immigrant great grandparent arrived in America as a adult with children, as many did, then your grandparent might also be an immigrant and you would be the second generation born in America.

To determine what generation American you are, count the number of generations between you and the ancestor who migrated from somewhere else to America.

If your mother was born in America but her mother was born elsewhere, your mother is first generation and you are second generation.
