Saturday Night Genealogy Fun – Do/Did Your Children Know Their Great-Grandparents?
Randy posted his Saturday Night Genealogy Fun Challenge… and it’s based on one of my posts! Neat! So, here are the rules:
-
- Dana Leeds on the Enthusiastic Genealogist blog asks “Did/Do Your Children Know Any of Their Great-Grandparents?“
- I thought that would be a great Saturday Night Genealogy Fun question – so please share your response with us in a blog post of your own, in a comment on this blog post, or in a Facebook or Google+ post.
- For extra credit, or in case the answer is “No,” then please answer the question for yourself, or your parents
Randy, I’m so glad you used my post as a SNGF challenge! Since I already did the challenge for my daughter (& myself), I thought I’d use my husband instead. So, here goes!
My husband, like my daughter, knew four of his great-grandparents! And, all of them lived nearby!
-
- Thomas Harrison Leeds (1887-1975)
- Benjamin Harrison Payton (1887-1985)
- James Vernon Miller, aka “Papa Booger” (1890-1978) & his wife…
- Leatha Ellen (Moore) Miller, aka “Big Granny” (1896-1981)
We aren’t sure where either of the nicknames came from!
Do we share common ancestors? I’d love to talk! Please leave a comment or email me at drleeds@sbcglobal.net.
