     They were all high school graduates, though none of them went to college.

My great-grandparents all went to school, but none of them went to college.

Newp.  Maternal GGparents were Hungarian immigrants.  Paternal GGparents are mostly unknown, but Dad's gfather got his "education" when he was removed from an English pub and made an offer he could not refuse by Her Majesty's Royal Navy.

Yes, due to the 1872 education act, but it was basic. They then worked down the coal mines.

I know at least one of them made it partway through seminary [for my sake, thankfully not all the way].

The other seven...not too sure.  Though, as six of them were born in the US after 1870, I imagine that they all did get some formal education.  College, though?  I know for a fact one of them didn't (my maternal grandmother's father).
