Not phishing for Doxing so if you are not comfortable don't reply or fudge the numbers by a few.
There is such a wealth of history held by the posters on FR. I was thinking how my own father was alive when Lindberg crossed the Atlantic and when the Hindenburg burned and My grandfather was teen when the Wright brothers flew at Kitty Hawk.
My grandfather would be 129 years +- today. How about yours?
My male ancestors on my Dad’s side all were at least 20 years older than their brides. My Grandfather married at 56 to my 28 year old Grandmother.
He would be 166.
That makes me feel very old.
I don’t know when my mother’s Dad was born.
T
I knew my great-grandfather, grandfather, and grandmother on my dad’s side and grandfather, grandmother, and great-grandmother on my mom’s side. I have a picture of my great-grandmother on my mom’s side on her Harley motorcycle when she was in her 80’s. LOL
I also knew my great-grandfather’s sister and all of my grandfather’s and grandmother’s siblings. Good genes on both sides I guess.
108
He died in his early 70’s of lung cancer.
It came on suddenly, a quarter-century AFTER he had quit smoking.
Please record these. They’re valuable.
1979??
That would make me a teen! I meant 1879 - 140 years ago.
Grand-dad ... 177
I wish schools would take the kids on field trips to visit nursing homes and let them talk to the people that live there. Most kids now never knew their grand-parents. If kids could talk to the people in their 80’s, 90’s and 100’s they would learn real history like I did. Educators today don’t want anybody telling them about real history though.
I only met one of my grand parents. My fathers dad died in 1972. So about 135 today.
One was born in 1873 the other in 1893.
My Great Grandfather was born April 9, 1829.
My daughter said I should write a journal while I can still remember this stuff. LOL
One would be 116, the other would be 123.
151
My great grand aunt who had an enormous impact on my life would be 137 this year.
You mean 1879
129 also. Still miss him.
My grandfather was born in 1884 so he would have been 135 in March.
granddad 139
Great granddad 191
divorce makes Mom’s side less clear. yes that stuff was going on even in and before 1950.
Mine would be 102 today. Born in 1906.
If your grandfather was Tiger Woods, I’d say you should be pretty well set for life.
126.
