what does a 3rd generation american mean that there immagrants ??? i donnt know plz help thanx?

Answer 1

Third generation means that you are the third generation of a immigrant family to be born in the US. My bf is a second generation Italian so that means that his grandparents came here from Italy, and he and his father were born here in the US. If he were third generation, it would have meant that his great-grandparents came to the US and his grandparents, father and himself were born here.

Answer 3

It means that the person's family has only been in the United States for three generations, i.e., the person, their mom or dad, and their grandparents.

It means that their grandparents were immigrants. Since the only original residents of America were Indians; everyone else, no matter what generation, were immigrants. It is for this reason that American Indians consider all non-Indians to be illegal immigrants.

We didn't invite anyone to come live here.

Answer 4

This means that your family has been in America for three generations. Your grandmother was the first Americanized immigrant, that made your mother a second generation american and you a third generation american. My mother was the first to America. That makes me a 2nd generation American. Make sense? Sorry if it sounds confusing... if you have a child that would make them a fourth generatino american.

Answer 5

Third generation American means this: Your Great Grandparents immigrated to the USA Their children were actually first generation Americans , which would have been your Grandparents. Second generation Americans would have been your parents, making you third generation American. You should be proud of all this! Your ancestors were upstanding and honest people who came to this country legally and followed the rules, which is more than can be said for the 12 million illegal aliens living in this country today.

Answer 6

According to webster, if you're grandparents came during their teens, you're third generation. But what if one set of grandparents were born overseas, came when they were in their mid teens, but your other set of grandparents were already here generations. ??

We should all have 2 sets of grandparents, one set might not have come from another country but with early settlers or colonials before the American Revolution?

What would happen? You would no longer be an American citizen. It takes a matter of minutes to do at the American consulate. Here's the procedure: (1) Leave the country. There is no procedure for renouncing your citizenship while still physically present in the U.S. The government has the idea that if you're mad enough to renounce your citizenship you probably don't want to keep living here (although most militia types seem to want to stick around, presumably to keep their disgust fresh). Also, frankly, most of the 800 or so people who renounce their U.S. citizenship each year aren't protesters but rather are cases of "dual citizenship" who haven't lived in the U.S. for a long time. What typically happens is that someone is born in the U.S. to non-U.S. parents, who later return to their native land. Such a person is automatically a U.S. citizen but has a claim to his parents' nationality also. While dual citizenship is usually not illegal--the U.S. "tolerates" it--it can complicate your life, notably in connection with taxes. So many people choose one or the other on reaching adulthood. (2) Apply for citizenship somewhere else. Strictly speaking this is optional, in the sense that it's optional to put on the parachute before you jump out of the plane. But if you're a stateless person living abroad and you get in a jam with the local authorities, or you want to get a passport to travel to yet another country (or back to this one), you're up fecal matter creek. (3) Go to a U.S. embassy or consulate and tell them you want to renounce your citizenship. Often they'll try to talk you out of it, tell you to come back after you've slept it off, etc. Persist. Eventually they'll have you sign an oath of renunciation, an affidavit affirming the oath, and a "statement of understanding," which basically asks you if you're sure you know what you're doing. You also have to supply certain tax-related info and turn in your passport. The consular officer overseeing the proceedings must sign an attestation saying that in his opinion you're not off your nut. The papers will then be forwarded to the U.S. state department, which in the fullness of time will issue you a Certificate of Loss of Nationality. You're officially un-American. Lotsa luck. One of many things to consider before you take this rash step is the kind of company you'll be keeping. Setting aside cases of dual nationality, emigration, etc., people who renounce their citizenship typically are war criminals (who do it under the baleful eye of a judge to avoid the expense of a deportation hearing), the aforementioned militia members, and billionaire fat cats who do it to avoid U.S. taxes (although the feds are tightening up on this--that's why they ask renunciants for tax info). My guess is you're not going to want to get together with these guys in some kind of support group.

Answer 8

I am one, on my mom's side. It means my grandparents immigrated to America, thus I am the third generation.
