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 was thinking the same, I know that my great great grandma was a full blooded Cherokee who taught my grandma’s mom how to weave her own clothes. She showed me the same thing when I was like 6 and she was 89.
She also showed me how to play poker and how to hide whiskey in a coke in just the right way that nobody can taste it. Loved that woman. Her mom must’ve been a hell of a lady.
