Much more interesting talking to them, than chattering about Andy Pandy with my contemporaries.

Was thinking about something similar yesterday, when researching something else.
A relative I was close to as a child was born in 1885.
All her grandparents, who she used to tell me tales about, were born in Ossy, but who were in reality born Georgians. Their grandparents were born in the 1700's.
