Do you know what country your grandparents were born in?

[Mister Mets]

This is inspired by the discovery that Hillary Clinton was mistaken in her belief that all of her grandparents were born outside the United States, when she only had one immigrant grandfather.

I'm curious how unusual it is to not know this kind of stuff about grandparents, which helps gauge whether this blind spot for the presumptive Democratic nominee is plausible.

[Türkisblau]

Option 1 (Normal)

Almost everybody knows this kind of information, and I bet anything that Hillary knows all of this very well. Then again, I really don't care whether she bent the truth or not.

[Joe Biden 2020]

This should really be in the FC board, but all 4 of mine were born in America.

[Beet]

Well, Hillary Clinton would have answered option 1.

[Ebsy]

Actually, until recently, I had thought all of my grandparents has been born in the US, but I found out my paternal grandmother was actually born in Nova Scotia before immigrating as a child to Boston.

[Mercenary]

Yes, all in America. My great grandparents as well.

[VPH]

All in Portugal.

[Oak Hills]

Yes, and I know what states they were born in too.  My family's genealogy is pretty well-researched, tho 
there's a lot more I'd have to look up than could tell you off the top of my head.

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

All 4 were born in the U.S.

All but one of my great-grandparents were as well. The eighth one was born in Prince Edward Island, Canada (hence my avatar).

Great-great grandparents are somewhat problematic despite my best efforts.

[Clarence Boddicker]

All were born in USA, along with great-grandparents. Ain't got no weird foreigners in my lineage!

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

2 in Palestine

2 in America

[Mr. Morden]

Two in the USA and two in Canada.

[Simfan34]

Yes. Britain and, uh, er, ick- Italy.

Obviously I'm not serious about the Italy part.

[Torie]

NYC, Flatbush, Brooklyn (father's side - his parents grew up on the same block on Pacific Avenue), and Iowa (mother's side).

[Sumner 1868]

All we're born in the United States, though all of their parents were immigrants.

[nclib]

All we're born in the United States, though all of their parents were immigrants.

Same here. In my case, all grandparents were born in NYC.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Both maternal grandparents in Springfield, Massachusetts, paternal grandfather in Baltimore, paternal grandmother in either Baltimore or New Jersey, I forget which.

[Spamage]

As a genealogist, of course I do !

Same goes from my Great-Grandparents and Great-Great Grandparents

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

3 in Brooklyn (I believe 1 Carroll Garden, 1 Park Slope and not sure), 1 upstate New York [Murican]

[Mr. Smith]

All in the U.S., though my paternal granny was from Italian immigrants that recently migrated to Philadelphia.

One of them is from somewhere in Illinois

And the other two are from Apache County, Arizona

[retromike22]

2 in the U.S. (CA and New Mexico), 2 in Mexico.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

All my grandparents were born in the US. So were all of my great grandparents. Most of my great-great grandparents were immigrants.

[All Along The Watchtower]

All were born in the US.

Maternal grandfather: Glen Ellyn, IL
Maternal grandmother: Peabody, MA
Paternal grandfather: Portland, OR
Paternal grandmother: Ottawa, KS

[pbrower2a]

Paternal grandfather: Montcalm County, Michigan
Paternal grandmother: Branch County, Michigan

Dull.

[ChainsawJedis]
