Answer 1

The picture is not nearly so clear as the earlier answers here suggest. Rather than repeat myself, I discuss this at length in the other copy of this question you posted.

Answer 2

It is virtually certain that there are no first-generation stars in our galaxy. All of the universe's first stars were extremely massive and quickly went supernova. Given the lifetime of the universe (~13 billion years) compared to the lifetime of a smaller star like our sun (~10 billion years) it seems possible that a few second-generation stars are still around in our galaxy, although I don't know this for sure. My guess is that almost all the active stars in the Milky Way are 3rd generation or later. Also, the globular clusters in the galactic halo tend to have much older stars than the disk does, so maybe you could find them there.

Answer 3

Analyses of recent WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe)
satellite images of the cosmic microwave background indicate
that this primordial light was ionized by a first generation of
stars that came and went only 200 million years after the Big Bang.
Additionally computer codes are now more-accurately tracking the likely
creation and evolution of first stars in the early universe.
a computer-generated model resolves the scale of the first stars,
indicating clean cocoons that condensed into stars always
over 30 times the mass of our Sun. Stars like this quickly fused
pristine gas into heavier elements and then exploded, seeding
the universe with elements that would become part of the stars
we know and, ultimately, ourselves
