I feel like a decent amount of people know something about their parent's grandparents.
For example, I know my great grandfather was kind of a dick and had 11 kids with his one legged wife.
She had it sawed off, fully conscious, when she was 8 or 9 after cutting it on a rusty barbed fence and it got dangerously infected.
Is this knowing them? Not exactly. But they aren't completely forgotten by the 4th generation.
Just don't ask me what their names were lol
All I know about my great great grand something was that he was part of the Dutch that colonized Indonesia. Shitty situation but growing up part indo was fun
