I'm originally from Maine. My family goes back to the 1600s on both sides. My great*7 grandfather on my mother's side moved from Boston to Maine in 1690 and married a local girl. The number of generations is low because because there were 35 years between generations. The first immigrant on my father's side arrived in 1630 at the age of 12 from Wales. Family lore has it that he started King Philips War by killing one of the Indians raiding his isolated homestead. Isolated because he, a non-Puritan, was not allowed to live in town.
My children are either first or second generation depending on how you count. Their mother was born in Brazil, bur their grandmother was born in California. Some of her cousins were in the Japanese concentration camps in CA.
