Hehe, I'm just revisiting my genealogy and was reminded of the danger of assuming age-generation correlations:
My oldest grandparent (born Feb 1869) was a good 37 years older than my youngest grandparent (born Dec 1906) - though he outlived her by a few years anyway - and, in fact, was born only 9 years after HER grandmother (my great great grandmother). Apologies for the off-topic digression - though I do use Reunion on my Mac to keep track of it all ;o) Cheers Neil on 10/5/11 9:48 AM, Adrian Skehan at adrianske...@me.com wrote: > > I thought that you are allowed an occasional senior moment when you have 3 > great grandchildren and the only people you know older than ones self are > siblings . > > > Regards, > > Adrian > adrianske...@me.com > > On 10/05/2011, at 9:36 AM, cm wrote: > >> >> LOL.
