I don't know my great-grandparents' names. For one side I have a geneology, so I could look it up, but I don't think I have it for my mom's side.
I never met my grandmother Flo, because she died in a buggy accident about . . . 35 years before I was born.

Oh. I know philip's mom was Anita (Nita) because she was "great granny Gee" and I had to go visit her in the old folks' home. Actually I had to visit her before then when she was still in her house. she served tinned salmon and tinned tangerine segments and raspberries in syrup. and had a muddy dingy basement (unusual in UK)

Aloys was my great grandfather on dad's side. He came over from Switzerland, and started a cigar shop in the town where I now live. I can't think of any more of them right now.
eta: I just found his name on the ancestry DOT com site. You have to pay to get more info.

how funny that Florence is the only repetition so far, and it's appeared 4 times!

Except for Radar's grandmother Virginia. That's what my grandma went by...she liked her middle name more than her name Florence. So that one was kind of repeated.

Edward (dad's dad) Theola - but she was really named Mabel, Theola isn't even a middle name. She never new she was Mabel until she was 60 or so. (dad's mom) William Rogers who went by Roger or Bill (mom's dad) Walter (step-pa on mom's side, one I knew) Beulah (mom's mom) Oba (mom's g-pa on her dad's side) A (mom's great uncle) Peanuts (my great uncle, dad's side) Rosie Inez (mom's g-ma. There is a family legend that a famous wild-west gang stopped at her home when she was 7-9yrs old and that she was the only one at the house. She made 'em lunch) Thats all I know
