Alphabet game – GRANDPARENTS

[Cassel]

In September, our monthly theme is GRANDPARENTS.

Let’s play our monthly alphabet game.

Since it might be harder to find words related to grandparents, let’s twist it a little and find NAMES of our grandparents, grand-aunts, grand-uncles, etc. Let’s make it interesting and stay with grand- something, ok? Of course, nobody would check on you.

Let’s go!

[Dianne]

A = Adolph……my grandfather’s name (don’t get the wrong idea; he was of Polish heritage, born in the U.S.)

[Cassel]

B = Bruno, my maternal grandfather.

[Michele]

C = Charles for my maternal grandpa Charlie <3

[Bonnie Ballentine]

D = Denning, my paternal grandmother.

I need to read instructions more thoroughly. Thank you, Carole!

K = Keene. My paternal grandmother, Elsie Keene who came to America via Canada on an orphan ship.

If we can go back in time, I have a 4th great grandmother by the name of Mary Nightingale.

[Sheila Hogg]

Although he is way back in time and is one of my 9th Gt Grandfathers, I can offer Oswald Van Keppel.

[Susan Inak]

My maternal grandmother, Harriet Pederson.

[Susan Inak]

I have a 1st cousin once removed with Q, if we can’t find grandparents. If there are no grandparents with Q is that the end of the game?

[Cassel]

It would be sad to end the game, so share your Q name and we’ll keep rolling!

[Annie Tobin]

My paternal Grandaunt was called Queenie. Her birthname was Rene but she always got called Queenie. Maybe she was a bit precious, lol!

Annie Tobin to the rescue!
