My family has been here since 1670, so I don't know, but I'm on up there in the generations.

Like Shoshone above, my people have been here on this continent as long as the grass has grown and the rivers have flowed, we were here when the Rockie mountains were just prairie dog mounds.
Sho-Ban tribal member. First nations! Baby!!

My grandfather's great grandfather came to America after serving in the British navy around 1780. So I guess that would make me 5th generation.

I'm zero, but hope to be a first-generation American in a few months.

Since I am US native American indian, I can't count the generations.
My ancestors were already here when everyone else arrived. And that includes all the hispanic/latinos who came here from europe and all the mexicano indigenous who came from south of the Rio Grande after the hispanics came and stole our lands in the southwest USA.
Oh and to the guy who says he is "azteca". That would make you indiginous to the Mexico which is SOUTH of the current border. There is no azteca tribal homeland north of it.
There has never been any tribe whose homeland is north of the current border called "mexicano", or mexican, or mexica, or meztiso, or hispanic,or latino, or aztec, or mayan, or toltec, or chicano, or cholo, or vato, or essa, or homie.

My fathers father came from Italy around 1920. On my mothers side, my first ancestor came around the time of the revolutionary war.

I am third generation.
My grandparents came here when there were no hand outs given to them just for being in country as is seen way too often today.

Old geezer, 3rd generation.
My family came here when you had to learn English and no body gave you anything but trouble if you didn't play by the rules and do the proper deed.
That was back when America was more or less in it's Hay day.
Not like now.
