My Mother was the first of her generation, I was the first of mine, my eldest daughter was the second of hers, and her son was the first of his... I have a picture of my grandmother holding my grandson and telling me he was the first of the 5th generation living... *NM*

Totally off topic but yesterday we had a Birthday party for my 99 year old aunt (my Mom's younger sister), also present were my 96 year old uncle, 86 year old aunt, 80 year old uncle and 77 year old aunt (I'm going to be 76 in June)... The celebration was at our local Legion *PIC*
- Wow great bloodlines.... Looks like a nice gathering. *NM*
- It seems you won the lottery in great genetics. Nice! *NM*
- Looks like a wonderful family. Congrats to all. *NM*
- OT Similar situations on my mother's side. Mother was the second daughter of my grandmother, who had five daughters and was pregnant with her fifth at the same time her first was also pregnant. So I had an aunt and a cousin almost the same age. Age wise, my mother made it
  - Bill, all my grandparents lived into their 90s with my grandmother on my Mom's side living to 109 years old. Looks like my aunts and uncles are heading that way too... *NM*
    - I envy you. My paternal grandfather at 99, his mother at 102 and my mother at 93 I think are the only ones over 90 for me, although my maternal grandmother may have been just a bit over 90 but I am not sure. It is the ones that passed quite a bit earlier that worry me. ;^) *NM*
- Raymond, that is simply marvelous! You made my day... *NM*
- Nice family Raymond. Great that so many joined the party *NM*
- Cool Raymond! I have a photo at home of 5 generations of my Dad's family at a reunion years ago.
