Did you ever meet or have a number of years with your great grandparents?

I did not but I find it pretty cool that my grandkids are able to spend quite a bit of time with their great grandparents on my wife's side (her parents are very active though mine have passed on -- her folks are in their very late 70s). It is such a rare thing. They're very good folks and I know my grandkids will remember them fondly.

Great grandmother from my mother's side of the family was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian that lived with his first son from a previous marriage lived in the converted garage with a Franklin stove and chewed tobacco

I think she passed when I was 9

Met three sets of greats guess that’s one good thing of several generations having children young. Two sets passed when I was between 7-8 one pair lived till I was in my twenties and one great grandmother got to meet my son so we have a picture of him with his great great grandmother. Remember being scared to visit one set because they didn’t speak much English mainly French.

My great grandmother was alive until I was 26 years old.

I got stories about life in the early 1900s in rural Louisiana from her. Obviously, it had more in common with the late 1800s than the late 1900s when I heard the stories.

I knew my great grandparents very well. I lost my last one in 2021 at 92 years old when I was 35. Others lived until college and after.

My son got to meet one of his great great grandmas before she passed, although he was a baby.

Knew my great grandma on my mother’s side (my grandmothers mom). She lived with my grandma for years because her husband died in the 80s. I was born in 91. She died in 2007. Very sweet lady

Knew all 4 of my great grandparents on my dad’s side. Didn’t know my dad’s grandmother on his dads side well, only memory was her coughing and being sick with pneumonia before she died. Her husband I remember, he was a prankster, loved to crack jokes. He always gave me a blue bell fudgecicle

I knew my dad’s grandparents on his mom’s side well. His grandpa was a well known businessman who turned Riceland Foods into the Co-Op it is today and was CEO for 33 years, is in the Arkansas ag hall of fame, invented the grain bin dryer while at Riceland,was a Freemason. He was a big guy, we called him Big Pawpaw. His wife was a sweet lady I don’t remember as much about her. He loved to duck hunt and fish. He had a lot of money, always drove a new Lincoln or Cadillac. I remember he once said to me “when you grow up and if you start a business, start it with someone’s else’s money, never use your own money.”

Sound advice tbh

I remember my great grandfather, I think I was 7 or 8 when he passed

My great grandmother died at 96 when I was 7 years old. I still remember her having a tin of ribbon candy behind her recliner and several memories with her. Oddly enough I can't remember her voice.

She had raised 7 kids in a shack on a cotton farm in arkansas. By all accounts she was a tough bird which has to be true given my grandmother toted a pistol and didnt take crap from anyone.

Knew both of my paternal great grandmothers, didn’t know any of my maternal great grandparents…
