This woman's father fought in the American Civil war!! Although it appears that her father was in his 80s before he fathered her.

OK - take the oldest member of your family you have who is still alive (you if you like - although if you are posting in CB its not guaranteed you are still alive). When was/were your/their parent(s) born.

HOW FAR BACK CAN WE GET WITH ONE GENERATION?

I'll start. My grandfather is 88 and his mother was born in 1896.

My father is 93 (born in 1920) and his father (my grandfather) was born in 1889
