Generations and Lifespans: My Paternal Grandparents & Great Grandparents


We lost the last of my Dad's siblings in September.  I thought it would be a good exercise to look at life spans and years lived by immediate family of my Paternal Grandparents & Paternal Great Grandparents.  My Dad was the next to the youngest child and a later in life baby.  My mother is also.  My parents didn't have children until they were older and I am the oldest of 5 so that sometimes really causes a bit of a problem when others are trying to figure out what generation I'm in for DNA analysis.  Luckily I have my tree posted most anywhere I've tested.
