Who, when, or where the first person was born on the North or South American continent is not known. The First English child born in America was Virginia Dare, August 18, 1587. She was born on Roanoke Island and her parents were Ananias Dare and Eleanor White, two members of the colonists who settle Roanoke. Roanoke became famous as the Lost Colony, as no settlers remainded at the site when the Raleigh sent supplies back to the colony from Great Britain. Virginia Dare was also missing. A legend grew among Native Americans in the area that told of a young white women, mistaken for a white doe, who was shot through the heart with a silver arrow from a hunter’s bow.

How do you determine what generation American you are?

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.
