Abstract: Astrophysical black holes arise either from the collapse of stars or through previous binary black hole mergers. What can we say about the populations of ''first generation'' and ''second generation'' black holes participating in binary mergers? This paper shows how one can test models of these populations using gravitational wave astronomy of binary mergers.
