Tell me about the furthest ancestor you remember meeting.
I met my great-grandfather once when I was 5 or 6 years old — he was around 80 at that time. Who did you meet? What do you remember about them?

My grandmother, she died when I was two and a half. She was sixty seven. Appeared very old, my first memory. Married at eighteen, two children before twenty. You never think of grandparents as being young. Her mother died at forty two. My grandmother brought up the youngest two as if they her hers. She then had two more children of her own.
