Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Did You or Your Children Know Their Great-Grandparents?
It's Saturday Night – Time for more Genealogy Fun! Our mission from Randy Seaver of Genea-Musing is to: 1) Did you or your children know their great-grandparents? 2) Tell us in your own blog post, or in comments to this post, or in comments on Facebook. As always, please leave a link to your work in Comments. My response: My daughters knew only one of my grandparents.

I have a photo of four generations: my grandmother, my mother, myself, and my first daughter, taken on her baptism day. Unfortunately, my mother passed away
