On my father's side, I am first generation American as he came from Scotland.
My father was born in Scotland too, and my daughter has traced our family on that side to the 1700's. My mother's family came from England, Irish and Scotland and I am 3rd generation on her side. My daughter has done some incredible research and she now has a huge family tree on Ancestry.
