SNGF -- Did Your Grandparents Know Their Grandparents?

Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:

It's Saturday Night again -

Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

 
Our mission today:

1)  Did your grandparents know their grandparents personally? 

2)  Check your family tree, and share your grandparents' names, birth and death years and places, and their grandparents' names, birth and death years and places. Indicate if they knew their grandparents.

Here’s mine:
We did this on February 15 of this year. https://mytrailsintothepast.blogspot.com/2025/02/sngf-did-your-grandparents-know-their.html. However, I’ll play, but ask if my parents knew their grandparents.
