4 Generation Families?
How many of you have four generations in the family?
I have two daughters and two grandsons.
My wifes mother is still alive....Thats one side of the family.
My mother died three day's after the birth of my first grandson.
That makes four generations on both sides.

Re: 4 Generation Families?
Back in 2004 we had 4 generations of our family....my grandma, my dad, me and my children. Since she died in 2004 there are 3 generations.
A few years back there was a girl a few years younger than me in the local paper. She had 5 generations of women in her family....very unusual.

Re: 4 Generation Families?
You're very lucky. I was lucky enough to know both my Great Grandmothers until I was in my mid-teens.

You're lucky too, Gayle.
I didn't get to meet one of my grandmas as she died in 1976 before I was born.

Re: 4 Generation Families?
Though my own mother died in 2001 (aged 91), when her youngest great-granddaughter (our Laura) was 16 months old, Laura's father's grandma is still very much alive at the age of 86.
My father died 4 days after his great grandson (our Peter) was born, in 1985, so 4 generations isn't that unusual in our family.

Re: 4 Generation Families?
Thinking back...My Paternal Great Grandfather died when I was eight years old in 1947.
God that makes me feel old, at the age of 83. I dont know if that counts as my father lost his life in 1944?

Well the grandkids have obviously but if the great-grandkids have a couple of kids each it will add up. Not for a good few years yet hopefully Just wonder how she manages to buy for them all at Christmas and such like but she does

Re: 4 Generation Families?
I had 3 of my greatgrandparents on both sides till i was in my late teens, which meant we had 4 generations then and now theres 4 generations cos theres my grandad,my mum, me n Jack
My real dad was 19 when i was born and there were 5 generations then because my great-great grandparents were still alive.My mum took a picture of me as a baby with my great-great grandad,my great grandad, my nan and my dad.
