[vix81]

just for a bit of fun i thought it might be interesting to see who has pictures of there gt grandparents or gt gt grandparents or how far back they can go ? 

the victorian picture with the scary looking lady is my
great great great grandma and grandad Robert Emmingham and hannah Crowder both born around 1839

and the other one is my great great great great grandma with her daughter Rachael Prestidge 1833 - 1907
can anyone beat 4 great's

regards jason

I just came across this and wondered was Rachael Prestidge her married name, as I have been researching the Prestidge family and am looking into a rachael Sansome with similar date.
Thanks,
Vickie

Here is the pic. The one sitting down is the one born in 1847. Jane Clift nee Livermore. The one on the right is her son born 1875.

We oldsters are at a disadvantage compared with you younger folks--we have fewer generations to count!

Also, those of us who are of long generations--youngest children--have fewer generations to count back.

In fact, it's shocking, how few generations there are between me and an ancestor born in the late 1700s....
