Can a Kohen marry a woman who’s mother was a convert?
Yes.
yes,
it’s a gemara in Kiddushin
As far as I know, there is no halachic problem with that- but let’s see what the other posters say.
Anyone know for sure what the halacha is on this?
it depends when though, I’m assuming she was m’guyar before she had her
Coffee addict: if she (the mother) had her (the child) before she was M’gayer- then the child would have been born to a non-jewish mother and would have had to m’gayer herself… so then the child would be a Ger.
So, I think it’s obvious that the poster’s question is about a mother who was M’gayer and then had the child. Which means, that for the purpose of this discussion, the Kohen can marry this child, just like he could marry any child born to any other Jewish mother.
Correct?

well then she was born to a jew, and the kid would be jewish and is like any other jew so the kid would be muttar (like you clearly stated) so the question doesn’t start
There may be a Chumra if the girl was conceived before conversion. I’m not so familiar with these laws and customs so I could be wrong. But I know that it’s for sure Muttar M’Ikar Hadin and if the baby was conceived after conversion there is no reason whatsoever for a Kohen not to marry her.
