The oldest family photo I have is from the 1850s or 1860s—it has my great-great-great-grandfather and his second wife (not my ancestor).

President John Tyler (b. 1790—d. 1862) has, at last check, two living grandsons. Apparently it was a family tradition to have children very late in life.

My Great Grandma was born in 1895, and I knew her well into my twenties. She was awesome. I think about her often...didn’t see her first car until she was a teen, no TV, phone, radio, or anything that we take for granted today. She loved technology, and was the first person I knew to have a microwave oven. She loved to fly, but I remember riding a train across country with her when I was a kid. Never drove a car in her entire life, but loved Sunday afternoon drives with her daughter, my great aunt. My grandmother didn’t go with us very often...
