Were your Grandparents born in the 1800's?

The only two of my Grandparents who were alive when I was born was my Dad's dad who was born in 1886 and my Mom's mom who was born in 1896. I know that their spouses were born in the 1800's but I'm not sure what year. That seems a very very long time ago for one who is in their 50's Grandparents to be born and what a vastly different world it was especially regarding people's attitudes about children.
I'm just wondering how many of you also have/had Grandparents born in the 1800's. It would be interesting to know who has the Grandparent born longest ago.

I'm guessing you're one of the youngest in your family as well.

My grandparent's grandparents were still alive when I was born and they were born in the 1890's, my great grandparents in the 1910's and my grandparents in the late 30's.

I was born in 1985, grandfather in 1917.

My paternal grandmother was born in 1899 on the SW LA prairie.
There were Indians who lived in huts in the woods behind her house.
She spoke hardly any English. Hell, my Dad didn't learn English until he went to school.

There are still a couple of children of Civil War veterans around, as well.
