                         Me 1961

Dad       1926                       Mam             1931
His dad  1901                       Her mother  1904
His dad  1871                       Her dad        1869
His dad  1836                       His dad         1843

ie: 125 years                        ie: 118 years

But if I'm allowed to start with my mother, I can take it a little further back to c1790, but its still only 141 years

Still no cigar here, though! Smiley

Mine would be very short as everyone in my family always seemd to get married very young!

I have lived as part of a 5 generation family (where for a short time all 5 gens were alive).

My son: 1977
me:        1958
my dad:  1935
his mum: 1911
her mum: 1888.

No, Jericho, you can't have that.  5 generations for you is 1958 - 1822 = 136 years.  Sorry!
