I don't really know at what point remittances die - anecdotally, it seems like my second-gen friends expect to send money to their grandparents abroad (if their parents can't or couldn't) but wouldn't consider sending money to more not-directly-related relatives (cousins, aunts, etc). I would expect that their (third-gen) children probably wouldn't send anything back, but that is... not in any way a data-based conclusion.
