Would somebody please tell me exactly how to state generations? For example: If I want to say I'm a 7th (or whatever) generation Texan, where does it start? My gr-gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather Elijah Isaacks came to Texas (then Mexico) in 1822 ...he was born in South Carolina but died in Texas. His son William, my 4Xgr grandfather, was also born in SC and died in Texas. My 3Xgr grandfather, Frederick, was born in Texas. Now where do I start counting? Would I be a 7th generation "Texan" ...or 6th ...or 5th ...or what? I'm setting up a website for my art work and thought I would go a little further than saying I'm a "native Texan" but I'm not sure where to start counting. Anyone know?
