My great-grandmother was born in 1889 and was a lot of fun to be around. Pretty remarkable to think of everything she saw over her lifetime. She just missed the internet era.

My grandmothers. One was born in 1890, the other in 1900. One of them traveled by covered wagon from Alberta to CA. -- nm

my grandfather was born in 1899, but his sister-in-law I knew was about 12-15 years older. I do not know her exact birthdate. -- nm

I knew my great-grandfather (born 1886) but he died when I was about 10.

On my dad's side, my grandfather was 1905-2001 and grandmother was 1912-2014. There was a great great aunt or such who was born before them.
