I responded to a thread like this over on the girls forum, but when I searched, I couldn’t find one for the guys. I’ve been putting together my family tree, and I love hearing old gems from other people’s trees. So I thought I’d make a post over here. What are your grandfathers’ names? Great-grandfathers’ names?

Mine:
