How many of your grandparents were alive when you were born?

[nclib]

Since this thread doesn't well reflect our older posters.

All four for me. The earliest died when I was 11, so I remember them all. It seems like not very many people knew all their grandparents.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

All of them were alive in 1996. My paternal grandfather was 82 (I was his first grandchild), my paternal grandmother was 71, my maternal grandfather was 57, my maternal grandmother was 54.

3, all except my maternal grandfather.  The rest were in their seventies when I was born.

3.  my mother's mom died of leukemia a couple of years before i was born.

[J-Mann]

Three of four. My paternal grandfather died in 1971, 11 years before I was born. But I have been fortunate to have my grandparents longer than many people my age or older.

My paternal grandmother passed in 2006; she was 80 and I was 23.

My maternal grandfather just passed a few months ago at age 89, and my maternal grandmother is still going strong at 87.

3. All of them except my paternal grandfather, although my paternal grandmother was already remarried by the time I was born.

[Mr. Morden]

Just two.  Both of my grandmothers died before I was born.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

3, same as now. My paternal grandfather passed away almost 5 months to the date before I was born, and I'm named after him.

Two, my maternal grandparents died of cancer before I was born. Heavy smoking does that to you.

Three. My mom's father died four years before my birth.

[Cranberry]

All four (as now)
Maternal Grandpa was 49, Maternal Grandma 47; Paternal Grandpa 57 and Maternal Grandma 55

3 - mother found out she was pregnant on the day of my paternal grandfather's funeral.

Maternal grandparents, both 53 and paternal grandmother was 61. I was #1 grandchild on my mother's side and #5 on my paternal side (missed being #6 by 4 hours)

Maternal grandfather died 4 years before my parents met.
Paternal grandmother was buried on my 1st birthday.
Paternal grandfather died 6 days after my 2nd birthday.

The only grandparent I have any memories of was my maternal grandmother.  But since she lived in Philadelphia and died when I was 11, even my memories of her aren't very strong.

On the subject of great-grandparents, I lost my first great-grandmother in 1895, and my second in 1901.  (My 8 great-grandparents were all born between 1851 and 1874.)  Obviously, none were still alive when I was born.

3 of my biological grandparents, 2 stepgrandparents

[politicallefty]

All four of them. My first grandparent to die was my grandpa in December 2011, when I was 24.

All of my great-grandparents died before I was born and I had a great-great-grandparent that died only five years before I was born. The highest generation that I know of that was alive while I've been alive was probably my great-great-aunt (my grandma's aunt).

3 of them. All 3 are still alive today.

[OAM]

Errr, can we get a "remove vote" option, because believe it or not, I've made about the most embarrassing error possible.  I was fairly confident only two were still alive when I was born, but thinking about it again I realized three were alive (One was alive when I was born but had died by the time of my first memories).

[Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends]

All four of them were alive when I was born:

Paternal grandfather was 54
Paternal grandmother was 53 (passed away when I was 22)
Maternal grandfather was 61 (passed away when I was 10)
Maternal grandmother was 60

[dead0man]

3 mom's mom died a couple of years before I arrived.  My dad's dad died before my memories began though.  No great grands were alive (AFAIK). 

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

All four of mine were alive when I was born, but I only have memories of one of them, tho I do remember the funerals of two more.

[The Dowager Mod]

2.
When my father was 2 his dad died, his mother remarried, then she died when he was 10, so i never met either.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

All 4.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

My paternal grandfather died six years before I was born.  In 1996 I had 3 living grandparents and two living great-grandparents.  My great-grandparents died but all three of my grandparents are still living.  I only know one of them though.

2. Both of my paternal grandparents died on the same day of hear attacks, one year before I was born.
