Did you meet your great grandparents?

[-:Undertaker:-]

Simple question, did you see or meet your great grandparents? or indeed, are they still alive?

I was lucky in that i've met both of my Great grandmothers who died when I was roughly around 12? both in the same year, one was 89 and the other was 92 by recollection. Just been looking through family photos and pretty sad how in a few years things can change so much with people passing, but I guess great grandparents are very aged.

So did you meet your great grandmother/s or even grandfather? you know, I never hear of people getting to meet their great grandads!

Thoughts?

No I was only lucky enough to know my Nanny who died in 2011 at the age of 84, although I do know my 'Granddad' is still alive, but I've never had anything to do with him nor do I intend to as of what he did to my Nanny, Mum and aunties/uncles.

I never knew my dad's parents either as they had died ages before too. I would have love to have known more of my grandparents or indeed great grandparents, but sadly don't.

On my mum's side I met both of them, one died in 2000 so I would've been err 8 when she died, the other died a few years before. Nicest people ever. As for the dad's side I have absolutely no idea.

Hm

I did meet them from my dads side as they are all really young *my dads parents are like, 55. he's 40 wth, how young?!?!* But they must have died when I was pretty young because I have no memories, just pictures of me with them

Yes I was lucky to meet great grandparents from my nan's side. My grandad's side - mother had passed away and his dad left him when he was a child (lovely curse in my family).

The living great grandad from my nan's side died a few years ago, but my great nan is still alive and going stong at like 87/88 or something.

Nope, don't even know they exist to be honest. Incredibly small and quiet family.

My great nan on my mums side is still alive and is 97 I believe. I never met my great grandad on my mums side though. He died quite a while before I was born.

Never met the greats on my dads side.

I didn't meet my great grandparents or my grandfather. I had my gran for only little years.

My great grandad died about 6 years ago at 80 years old

didnt meet any great grandparents and only met 1 of my 4 normal grandparents as well and she died when i was like younger than 2 lmao. prefer it that way though since i don't like family much anyway and saved me the pain of them ever dying on me for any (great) grandparents lmao
