Do/did you know both sets of your grandparents?

Yes, luckily I had 20 awesome years of knowing my grandpa and more to go with my grandma.

my grandpa from my mother's side died a week after i was born so i can't say i get to know him. but my both grandmothers are alive, and my grandfather died recently

i'm sorry to learn about your grandfather ...

I spent a lot of time with both sets of grandparents, especially my paternal grandmother because those grandparents lived about 10 minutes away. My grandfathers died within a year of each other when I was 15, my maternal grandmother died when I was 19, and my maternal grandmother outlived my dad and was 89 when she passed, but she had dementia for years so it was sad to see her for all those years when she didn't know any of us. I had the best grandparents I could have ever wished for.

I met both sets of Grandparents. Although My Paternal grandfather has had pancreotic cancer within the last year and doesnt have a good survival rate. But I think Granps is doing fine because my grandma is taking care of him. My maternal grandparetns live in Florida. I still see them.

I miss them.

never knew my father so how could I know his parents

Family I know or or have met are all on my mother's side only. Grew up with my maternal grandmother and grandfather.

I knew both my grandmothers, but both grandfathers died before I was even born.

Never met my father's parents, they had passed on by the time I was born. Mom's parents were great but died when I was rather young. My childhood would have been significantly better if they had lived.

No. Maternal GM died before I was born. Paternal GM died when I was three. Paternal GF moved back to Europe when I was five. Maternal GF remarried and moved away.

but those I did were absolutely wonderful

I wish. I spent a little time with my mother's parents when I was a kid, but not much. Being a military "brat", we were usually far away from relatives. My father's parents both died before I had any chance to know them.

I've never met my great grandparents on either side.

I know both of sets of grandparents. Maternal 88 and 87. Paternal both around 71..2..4 ish? Big age gap between sets...

Dad's side: he was an alkie who abandoned my grandmother and her 5 boys. But I knew her into my 20s.

Mom's side: She preceded me in death. One of my earliest childhood memories is the ambulance guys putting him on a gurney and taking him away. Someone yelled "Mailman!" We all ran, leaving Pop at the kitchen table. By the time we got back, he was on the floor dead.

I've only met my maternal and paternal grandmothers, and I've only connected to my maternal grandmother.

I only knew my mother's mother, and she lived in Germany. She came for a few visits and I visited her twice. My grandfather was alive til I was almost in my teens, but he was never talked about. He & my g-mother were divorced; the only time I heard anything about it was hearing that he was very social and liked to party, and my g-mother liked to stay home and putter in her garden.
One thing I would like to point out here...for anyone that still has grands around, make the effort and stay in touch as much as you can. Now that I'm a grand, I feel so guilty that I had to be forced to write the few letters that I did. (No email then, and long distance calls were for emergencies! And I had to write them in German.) I so wish I could go back and stay in closer contact with her. She was a sweetheart too.

I know both my mom's parents, and actually spend two months with them this summer....my dad's mom is also alive, but I only see her at family events, and I never met my dad's dad, he died 14 years before I was even born

Yes, I was fortunate to know all four of them. My maternal grandfather died when I was probably 5 but I have very positive memories of being with him fishing, at work, the fireplace, Thanksgiving, shveling snow... I have positive memories of all of them.

Yes and I knew one great-grandmother.

Sort of. I knew Dad's dad but not his mum. I know both my Mum's parents.

I lived next door to my dad's parents and my mum's lived about 15 miles from us and i spent nearly every holiday with them as a kid, so i knew both sets very well....

nice!!! i'm glad my kids have been able to know their grandmothers, if not their grandfathers ...

I lost my mum when i was young and my kids were very young and don't remember her but they were close to my dad....

that's nice ... only 4 of my mom's grandkids ever got to meet my dad ... my oldest has my dad's name ... my mom is still alive and kicking and her grandkids are at least acquainted with her (2 of us kids make sure that our kids know my mom and see her often - we're the GOOD kids! ha ha ha)

you are that mark

thanks ... though i do have my moments ... ha ha ha!!!

both my grandfathers took off before my parents were born. My dad's father ran off to remarry and left my grandmother pregnant with her forth child. I met him once and told him he was a piece of crap and I would never call him "Grandfather." My mom never met her own dad, only has a name to go by and we don't know the correct spelling. Her mother was mean and cruel so I had very little to do with her. I only knew my grandmother and great grandmother and they were the best grandparents in the world

I know my grandmothers very well, my maternal grandfather passed away 3 years ago and I never knew my paternal grandfather well because he and my parents have always been at odds and now he is too old and doesn't even remember me.

how could you say none of the above to a yes or no question? lol

OK, smartass [ha ha ha - good name] - some people never met grandparents and for all intents and purposes never had any ...

Yes,I had all my grandparents until my maternal grandfather died when I was 11, he was 63. My paternal grandfather died when I was 16, he was 56. My maternal grandmother lived until she was 89. I still have my paternal grandmother! She will be 99 in January! I even knew both of paternal great-grandmothers, they both died in their 80's when I was in my 20's. I also remember my one of my paternal great-grandfathers, he died when I was 9.

I was very fortunate. Through 5th grade I had all of my great grandmothers, one great grandfather and both grandmothers/grandfathers. Through college I still had all but my great grandfather and my mother's father.

All of my grandparents died before I was five. My maternal grandfather died before I knew him. I met my maternal grandmother, but she died shortly after. My paternal grandfather was never in our lives and he died. My paternal grandmother was much in our lives, but she died when I was five.

All of mine lived well into their 90's. So I knew all of them.

Yes. Though I was quite young, around 8-10 when my fathers parents died but I can still remember them. My mothers parent less so as I only seen them a few times in my life, as when they retired they moved to France to live.

Wow! I want to move to france too!! we should go together and look them up for you!! You have French heritage, i'm guessing?

Alas both have passed on. Both my grandparent were of English decent but they had a fondness for France, and an equal dislike for the British weather in the winter time. My grandfather did a lot of business in Europe, particularly France as he worked in the wine trade. I expect his experience and familiarity of the wine producing region of the Rhone valley influenced his decision to move there when he retired.

My maternal grandfather died when I was about 3 years old, but I do remember him quite well. My paternal grandparents lived a long ways away and I only saw them about three times.
