When you were born, how many ancestors of yours were alive?

[Beowulf]

4 grandparents and 2 great grandparents


Now 4 grandparents and 1 Great Grandparent.

[~Elizabeth~]

Four

2 parents + both grandmothers

[Tsuin]

3. Both of my paternal grandfather's parents and my paternal great grandmother. I'm not counting my parents or grandparents because they're still alive fortunately

[Barba]

8
Both parents, all grandparents, one set of grand-grandparents.

[calxpal]

4 ancestors total, my parents and 2 grandparents.

[Nurzat]

10 (I voted 9 by mistake):

both parents (2)
all grandparents (4)
maternal grandpa's mother (1)
maternal grandma's both parents (2)
maternal greatgrandma's father (1)

I remember even my great-great-grandpa as he died when I was 4, remember visiting him alive and his funeral, he lived 1896 to 1991

maternal greatgrandmas lived until recently, died in the last decade.

I was able to speak about and take notes on their ancestry as adult, so I have genealogical information for 7 generations on some lines and for 6 on most.

also a lot of stuff I've heard recalled directly by them, of pre ww2, ww2, post ww2, etc, also the stories thry knew from their parents and grandparents that go back to 19th century. that is quite atypical for the countryside I think

[oszkar07]

both parents 2

4 Grandparents (I met all of them, 2 (hungarian Grandparents) I knew very well and spent a lot of time with.

The other anglo-saxon Grandmother I knew less well except for when I was a younger child. The anglo saxon Grandfather I hardly knew him personally at all but had met him several times.

As far as I know 3 Great Grandparents were alive when I was born. I did not have chance to meet with any of them. Two were in Hungary and by time I travelled there in my early twenties they had already passed.

At least 9.

[Mortimer]

My parents : +2
My maternal grandparents: +2
My maternal grandfathers mother: +1
My maternal grandmothers mother: +1
My paternal grandfather: +1

---

2+2+ 3x1 = 7

But some of them died immediately after i was born like a month after

[Gallop]

I voted 5 but it's wrong actually there were 7 counting my parents.

Parents, grandparents and a maternal great-grandmother

[Todesritter]

Parents, both sets of grandparents and both maternal great-grandmothers, who (along with both grandfathers) have passed away since. One of my great-grandmothers lived to 97 and outlived my maternal grandfather, her son.
