I'm third generation on the one side... my mum's dad is first generation, his parents came over on the boat from austro-hungary/germany (literally their kitchen was in Austro-Hungaria and their bedroom on the other end of the house was in Germany but they claimed Germany). My dad is full Pennsylvania Dutch but I just say German since that's really what stock they're from.
My mum's mum is mainly Irish with little bits all tossed in there. My mum is doing this geneology thing and has found all kinds of way cool information. We've traced back before Revolutionary War for part of the family. Actually, we've traced back to around New Amsterdam instead of New York in the US for one chain of the family. It's all way cool stuffs.
