Oh. I know philip's mom was Anita (Nita) because she was "great granny Gee" and I had to go visit her in the old folks' home. Actually I had to visit her before then when she was still in her house. she served tinned salmon and tinned tangerine segments and raspberries in syrup. and had a muddy dingy basement (unusual in UK)

Miriam's parents were Ethel and Calvin

Aloys was my great grandfather on dad's side. He came over from Switzerland, and started a cigar shop in the town where I now live. I can't think of any more of them right now.

eta: I just found his name on the ancestry DOT com site. You have to pay to get more info.

Calvin's pretty popular now.

Ethel will never be revived imo

Mother's Side - Virginia & Thomas Corcoran

Father's Side - Ruth & Herbert Ireland

Herbert's parents were Florence & Ralph Ireland

Ralph's parents were Lucy and Ephram Ireland


These are the only blood-related grandparents I ever knew.

I've got some step-grandparents too

how funny that Florence is the only repetition so far, and it's appeared 4 times!

Except for Radar's grandmother Virginia. That's what my grandma went by...she liked her middle name more than her name Florence. So that one was kind of repeated.

ha! my Flo's middle name was May. For the month she was born in.

So much for expecting a crapload of johns and marys.....

Never had a grandma Flo. Aunts, now ...

Esther (great-grandma dad's side. not blood-relative because she adopted my grandpa)
Edward (dad's dad)
Theola - but she was really named Mabel, Theola isn't even a middle name. She never new she was Mabel until she was 60 or so. (dad's mom)
William Rogers who went by Roger or Bill (mom's dad)
Walter (step-pa on mom's side, one I knew)
Beulah (mom's mom)
Oba (mom's g-pa on her dad's side)
A (mom's great uncle)
Peanuts (my great uncle, dad's side)
Rosie Inez (mom's g-ma. There is a family legend that a famous wild-west gang stopped at her home when she was 7-9yrs old and that she was the only one at the house. She made 'em lunch)
Thats all I know
