Quick question:

Even though I was born in America, would the fact that one of my grandmothers was Canadian mean that technically speaking, I'm a third generation immigrant?

Since my Grandma "N" was Canadian, that means my mother is Canadian-American, so I'm part Canadian... Right? A negligible amount because I'm still American, but still worth acknowledgement in heritage, right? 🤔

Just curious about the terminology there.

#Also interestingly on my father's side of the family #One of my great-grammas' own great-grammas was nobility from Norway and has a statue in Hammerfest #Great-Gramma wrote and published a book chronicling that part of the family history with scans of documents #So my heritage is also Norwegian #Alternately another side of my family were bootleggers and help hide Billy the Kid once #And other part of my family was responsible for Safeway and Rose Cabs as well as starting Johnson & Johnson #And the aforementioned Great-Gramma was manager of the exact convenience store my parents met at so that place is crucial to Rae Lore #We have that one Plaid Pantry to thank for me existing lol
