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 you father was born elsewhere but came to America as a child or as an adult, and you were born in America, you are a first generation American; you are the first born in America. If your mother was born in America but her mother was born elsewhere, your mother is first generation and you are second generation.
