I knew my great-grandmother, few people do. My great-great-grandmother is an ancient picture on the wall of my dead grandmother's house, from a time when photography was new, a scant few years past daguerreotypes.

4 mothers back is all I can summon, only remember 3.

I knew two of my great grandmothers (yay for really young parents!). I know I met two others but didn't really know them.

I was told that I met my great great grandmother once when I was a toddler but I don't remember it. She died at age 99.
