A SURPRISING NUMBER OF PEOPLE DON’T KNOW THE NAMES OF THEIR GRANDPARENTS

According to research from Ancestry.com:
– A third of Americans are unable to name all four of their grandparents.
– A third of Americans can’t trace their family tree past their grandparents.
– 21% percent don’t know which city a single one of their grandparents were born in.
– 14% don’t know what any of their grandparents did for work.

* I suppose Mee-Maw and Geepa aren’t acceptable.
* You can make up for blowing off your grandparents on Grandparents Day. Like you know what day that is.
* It’s almost as if Ancestry.com wants us to feel guilty and visit their website.
