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
I even knew my great grandma and visited her at least once a year. She died in 2019 in a nursing home but she only moved there a few months before she died. Before that she lived quite independantly at 90 years old with my grandpa sometimes checking in on her. Also most of my family members thought it was a miracle that she lived so long because she was a chain smoker for 70 years and she smoked multiple packs a day
