FWIW, my great grandfather fought in the Civil war - so just 3 generations back for me. However, he died long before I was born. My grandfather was born when my great grandfather was 50.

Same here except that three of my great-grandfathers were in it, one fought for the South.

One of my wife’s great grandfathers survived Andersonville. We’re in our low 50’s—she is the youngest of the youngest of the youngest.

For me, though, it is four generations removed, with at least two of my double-greats in the GAR.
