I, through bizarre family stuff, had 6 grandparents plus two step-grandparents. My Mom's Dad and one of my Dad's Mom's both died before I was born. My Dad's other Mom just died last year, she was the last one living.

Three of my great-grandparents were alive when I was born. I clearly remember two of them. The third died shortly after I was born. I also had a great number of Great Aunts and Uncles. I've only got one of those left and she's got dementia and has been in a nursing home for quite some time. When we were younger we spent a lot of time with all the various Great Aunts/Uncles most of which were fun interesting people.
