Here's mine:

a)  Paternal great-grands:

*  Frank Walton Seaver - born 1852 in Medfield, Mass., died 1922 in Leominster, Mass.

married in 1874 in Keene, N.H. to Harriet Louise Hildreth - born 1857 in Northborough, Mass., died 1920 in Leominster, Mass.

Married in 1868 in Killingly, Conn. to Julie E. White - born in 1848 in Killingly, Conn., died 1913 in Putnam, conn.

b)  Maternal great-grands:

*  Henry Austin Carringer - born 1853 in Mercer County, Penn., died 1946 in San Diego, Calif.

Married 1887 in Wano, Kansas to Abbie Ardell Smith - born 1862 in Rolling Prairie, Wis., died 1944 in San Diego, Calif.

Five of my eight great-grandparents, born between 1848 and 1868, moved west during their lifetimes.  My father came west in 1940 to San Diego.  Three of my 2nd great-grands came from England to America in the 1830s and 1850s.  My 2nd great-grands Carringer and Smith moved west also, and three ended up in San Diego in the 1880s.
