If they couldn't even look after for its mental integrity it shouldn't have reproduced. Chances are the newborn child will get consumed to please the "parent" sexually, emotionally, or whatever means possible.
Tricky one for me. We've managed to trace our family tree back 12 generations through family documents, etc. and our family are still in Ireland (where I'm from). From what we know though our family have had a presence in Ireland for over 500 years on both sides. It's actually remarkable when you consider the earliest record of our surname in Ireland is in the 13th century.
Myself, I've emigrated to the UK, twice. But now I'm back in Dublin.
So either 2 or a probably much higher number, depending on how you count. (I haven't voted yet).
When is one be considered an immigrant? Is it: 1) simply living in a land that one was not born in immigration; or 2) giving up one's citizenship at birth for another? Going by the first definition, I've lived in 2 foreign countries for lengthy periods, so have I immigrated twice? But I still am a citizen of where I was born (India) and I do intend to eventually move back to home country, so am I not an immigrant at…

I mean, it's quite difficult not to find a single inmigrant in 16 (4th generation) or 32 (5th generation) ancestors, and I don't think it matters much anyway.

If you go back 12 generations you have 2^12 = 4 096 ancestors. Seems rather unlikely that every single one of them is Irish. If you go back 20 generations you'd have 2^20 = 1 048 576 ancestors, which is probably larger then the population of Ireland by that time.

I worry that people who don't know if one of their ancestors was an immigrant have answered incorrectly.
I think the way to reduce confusion would be to label the options as "1 generations (One of my parents was an immigrant)", "2 generations (One of my grandparents.. )", "3 generations (One of my great-grandparents was an immigrant)", etc.
