Got to hear stories about my grandparent's parents. My grandparents were born in the 1890's and their parents born in the 1870's and my great great grandparents were born in the 1850's and 60's. I connect my youngest grandchildren who are 3 and 5, born 170 years later with real stories. Pretty cool.
