How many generations did you live to see in your family

It was common several decades before in China to all generations lived together, I was so lucky to live with my great grandmother. But when I grow up, society changed. More and more younger generations live apart from their elder generations. And then it's common that a couple live together, sometimes with their children, another case is that if a couple have children and they haven't time to take care of children, they will ask their parents or parents in law to help them to nurse their children.

I remember my great-grandmother, a sturdy German woman clad in a long black dress and a babushka covering her wiry grey hair, out raking the leaves between my grandmother's house and ours. When my first daughter was born in 1969, all four of my grandparents were still living. When my first grandchild was born, my maternal grandfather was the only one left. A five-generation photo was published in the local paper, and a shot I took of my grandfather gazing fondly into the eyes of his first great-great grandson appeared on the cover of a magazine for seniors. I fondly remember the times I spent with my paternal grandmother, who lived next door. And, I spent many happy days with my maternal grandparents, who lived much further away. My own daughters also have fond memories of their times with my parents. My older grandchildren vaguely remember my mother, who by the time they were old enough to interact, had fallen into the depths of Alsheimer's. I'm hoping my grandchildren are building memories of me, although it's difficult because I live in Minnesota and they are in Texas, Florida, and Alaska. There are so many lessons children can learn from their grandparents and the love they provide is unique.

I have seen all my grand fathers, and grand mothers both from my father as well as my mother side. I have also seen my mother as well as fathers side great grandmother. My daughter is also lucky in the sense, she had seen all her grandparents as well as great grandmother from my father side. Since I have a grand daughter now, my mother is very happy to have seen her great grand daughter.Getting sentimental.

Our son got to see his great grandfather, but he was too young to remember him. I do have a picture of him sitting on my grandpa's lap. Our son was one year old and grandpa was 95, I believe. Our son is now 49. I almost forgot that he also saw his other great-grandpa. I have a family snapshot showing myself, my husband,our child, both my parents and both of my grandpas. Our son was just a few weeks old at the time.

I knew one great grandmother, all four of my grandparents and both of my parents. I have nieces and nephews and great nephews up to now. If I do like most of my ancestors, I expect to see great great nieces and nephews and maybe even beyond that.

I was able to see my great grandmother from my mother's side. Except from my father's mother, all my grandparents are still around. I really am glad they are all very healthy. I hope they can be with us forever to see me start my own family. :D

Just my grandparents my grandparents were older when they had my mom, and they were in Italy anyways so I would have never met my great grandparents anyways, but I don't believe they were still alive after I was born. My grandfather did live to be 97 years old though so he had great grandchildren. I don't know about my dad's grandparents, I never heard anything about them my grandmother never even talked about them. I think they may have been alive but I think she may have been estranged from them. My grandmother had something like 11 brothers and sisters.

Never have a chance to see my grandparents :( Though my grandma sister is still alive, and I often visit her on other town. Okay, so : Father - Mother, and then me and my siblings. That's all in my inner family. I have a lot of nephew from outer families.
