How far back are your immigrant ancestors? (live, best)

[jtur88]

How far back in your ancestry to you need to go, to find an ancestor who was not born in the country of which you are now a citizen? (If you're not sure, make your best guess.)

Sorry, the poll templates are not set up to accommodate poll questions more complex than "What is your favorite ___?"

My paternal grandparents were both born outside the US.

Grandparent - paternal grandfather born in Jamaica to my knowledge. Not sure about my paternal grandmother though.

My mother is an immigrant from the UK.

For me it depends. On my mother's side, I'm 2nd generation American from Germany. I'm my father's side, I'm 3rd generation American born. But, my ancestors were present in Puerto Rico, as far as I know, back in the 1830s. There's a very very high chance if I can trace further back, my family still lived in the Spanish Caribbean back even when Thomas Jefferson and King George III were still alive.

My grandparents came from the north of England 100 years ago.

Myself, but I came here (Australia) when i was but a year old, so it's like I was born here.
