Am I a first-generation college student?

My mother got her associates degree at a community college which I’m not sure constitutes me as a first-gen. Would she have had to go to a four-year for it to count?
My brother went to LSU but transferred to a religious college and then kinda/sorta dropped out. Would his going to school count against me? If he didn’t complete it, does that mean I can say I’m the first in my family to go to school?
I’m really just trying to see where I stand.
