Any One Has Eight Great Granparents All Born in The US?

Question:Yep! Now my mother couldn't say that as her great grand parents were immigrants, but on my father's side they have been in the US since before it was the US. We have traced them back to the New York area in about 1700, but records are hard to find at that point.

I do. They're dead now, but most of my family has been here sine the Mayflower, and the rest has been here since the American Revolution.

nope...I am a mutt...mixed with Irish and Italian a generation ago! My kids are now Irish, Italian and Japanese!
My goal is that within a few generations, my family has all natonalities in it, and we will start our own country!

Not me, Hawaii was a different country in my Great Grandparents' time.

All four of my grandparents were born in the United States in West Michigan.

Of my eight great grandparents, 3 were born in the Netherlands- 1 in Friesland, 2 in Groningen. Four of great grandparents were born in West Michigan and the remaining one was born in Columbus, Ohio.

All of my great-grandparents were born in the U.S. and I've found several 7th and 8th great-grandparents born here in the early 1700's, so we've been here a little while.......

All 4 of my grandparents were born in the US. That much we are sure of. However, since we never actually knew one of them (my dad never knew his father), we do not know who his parents were. We knew very little about him. We have searched for him for years, hoping to find him before he died. However, age estimates dictates he is probably dead now. If he is alive, we estimate him to be between 87-97, so it is highly unlikely he is still living. However, all of my other 6 great-grandparents were born in the US.

No, I had one great grandparent that immigrated with his parents from Prussian Poland in 1853. All my grandparents were born in the U. S., one in 1873, one in 1877, another in 1881 and another in 1885.

I have some family that goes back before the Mayflower to the Jamestown settlement and also those that some say crossed an ice bridge from East Asia many thousands of years ago. There is another family line on my father's side that goes back to the 1600s.

I've worked both my husbands and my ex husbands lines.. both of them trace back to at least the 1700s in the US. So, yes they both qualify. Mine come from Poland.
edit-
HOW the heck can ANYONE come in, and give thumbs down to persons (not just me) who know who their own ancestors are?
ALL answers here on this question are "correct".. no way they can be anything except correct.

I don't, but then I'm not American. Of my 4 grandparents, 3 were born a different nationality to me even though we were born in the same country :(

Viva Independence!

All but one--one of my great grandfathers was born in Castlemore, Ontario, Canada. His family immigrated from Donegal, Northern Ireland, shortly before he was born. Ancestry.com notes that he became a naturalized American citizen in 1916.

Yes I have eight great grandparents born in the US, 16 great greats, 32 great great greats. Getting into the great great great greats some of them were born in British colonies in America that later became the US.
All of my ancestors who came from Europe were in America by the 1750s, actually all but one arrived much earlier than that. MY Cherokee ancestors arrived about 15,000 years ago.
Notice I did address the question.

A lot of people do, but to answer wendy c's question, MY response deserves a thumbs down too because it doesn't answer the question. Think about it.
