17th generation here. Descendant of conquistadors. My seventh great grandmother was the first to become an American citizen. A member of one of the founding families of St Louis, she became a citizen on March 10, 1804 when the American flag was raised over St Louis.
I’m still tolerant of all you Johnny-come-latelies, though
Very cool! On my mom’s side I’m second generation American. Not sure on Dad’s side, as he was adopted, and the genealogy there is less accurate. I think 3rd generation on that side. Thanks for not pushing us newbies away!
I descend from a Ensign Thomas Washer, 1619 resident of Jamestown, on one side and speculated but not yet proven from John Alden of Mayflower on the other side...so definitely natural born...lol
