I knew four of my great grandparents, all born in the late 1800s.  One
of them was born in Belgium, another was born in Germany.

 
I talked on the phone to my great grandmother (Mom's maternal
grandmother) when I was 9 or 10 but I was in Canada and she was in
Northern Ireland. My other three pre-deceased me.

There is a picture of me (very young) sitting in the lap of my mother's
maternal grandfather (I think he was the only great-grandparent still
alive when I was born). I remember meeting a woman who my father
referred to as his grandmother, but she was the 2nd wife of his maternal
grandfather and his mother was the only surviving child of his first
marriage. It might say something about me, but I always thought that she
wasn't my great-grandmother.
