Props to you!trishtatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761421199838284000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-72479610150300633942012-09-01T00:27:14.603-06:002012-09-01T00:27:14.603-06:00I knew my dad's mother's mother (Grace Ash...I knew my dad's mother's mother (Grace Ashton Jones Smith - died when I was 7 and lived a city over) and both my mom's mother's parents (Mimi and Pa - Mildred Jane Stallings Galbraith and Christopher Layton Galbraith Jr. - Pa died when I was 8, but Mimi was around until I was 13. Even though they lived in AZ, I knew them wel. Especially Mimi.) Of the other five greats, right now I can give the full names of 3 and the first name of one... For some reason I can't think of my Grandpa Mason's dad's name, but I'm sure it'sburied somewhere... Good to think about!Jessica Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569314085563266155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-27921470885309958952012-08-31T19:34:30.355-06:002012-08-31T19:34:30.355-06:00I am going to do this.

I saw one great-grandfather several times, but only have vague memories of him. (Most of my great-grands were born in the mid-1800's.)<br /><br />However, my grandmother lived to be 99 and passed away only about 5 years ago. My children knew her well. Even my grandchildren met her a few times.Packrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986387347283221427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-39169283208664688332012-08-31T12:42:45.858-06:002012-08-31T12:42:45.858-06:00That's so funny that your only memory of your ...That's so funny that your only memory of your mom's dad is the "old guy in a suit" because that is almost identical to my only memory I have of MY mom's dad. Apparently he lived with us for a while when I was very young (he died when I was 2) and I have exactly 1 memory of him: seeing him in the hallway of our house wearing a gray suit. My mom said he always wore suits. Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17337939211349242608noreply@blogger.com
