In what year was your oldest grandparent born?

[trackfan]

Let's see what kind of range we have here.

One of my grandpas was born in 1888.

[IndianaJones]

1. 1925. nt

[DarkTirade]

2. On my maternal side, 1925.

I never knew my paternal grandparents, but since my biological father was a bit older than my mother, and both my paternal grandparents are dead, I'm guessing they were both older than my maternal grandparents.

[SPKrazy]

3. they're all dead

but 1892 I think is the oldest, my maternal grandfather

[GoddessOfGuinness]

4. 1898

I was lucky enough to know my great grandparents on my maternal grandmother's side, though both were losing their mental faculties by the time I was able to talk with them. My great grandmother always wanted one of her girls to play the violin, and none did until I started taking lessons. She died a short while after I played for her for the first time. Grandma said that I'd made Nana very happy that day. I'm so glad I did... :D

[ZombieNixon]

5. 1912.

My youngest great-grandparent was born one year before that. :crazy:

The grandparents (father's father) is dead, but the great-grandparent (mother's mother's mother) is still alive.

[Reverend_Smitty]

6. My paternal grandfather was born in 1927

all my other grandparents were younger than him by a few years. My youngest grandparent (maternal grandmother born in 1935) and she was the first one to die
