    Grandfathers'/Great-grandfathers' names?

    I responded to a thread like this over on the girls forum, but when I searched, I couldn't find one for the guys. I've been putting together my family tree, and I love hearing old gems from other people's trees. So I thought I'd make a post over here. What are your grandfathers' names? Great-grandfathers' names?

    Mine:

    Grandfathers
    Paternal - William Arthur (called Art) (1914)
    Maternal - Howard Blaine (always called Blaine) (1909)

    Great-grandfathers
    William Wallace (I think my dad told me he went by the nn Watt, but I'm not sure.) (c. 1888)
    Burt Walker (1875)
    Burlean (don't know a middle name; he went by Burl) (1872)
    Alvin (1875)

    My grandfathers are Michael (who goes by Eddie) and Alessandro (born and raised in Italy). I know that one of my great grandfathers was called George (middle name Arthur or Albert I think) but unfortunately that's as far as my knowledge goes!

    My Grandpas were:
    Kenneth Rattray but he was always called Nick, since he was a boy because his mother would call him a "little nick" (little devil).

    My grandpa's names are Curtis Albert (jr) and Louis Raymond. Can't remember great grandfathers' names. My fiance's grandpas were Louis (loo-ee, mine was loo-iss) and I think Wendell or Wendellin. I could be off, I know one of his uncles is Wendell but I don't think he's a junior. Totally blanking on it right now.

    I have great uncles named Howard, Ronald, Jim (James), Gene, Walt and I think my great aunt was married to a Joe if I remember right. I don't think I ever met him, I've only known her current husband, Walt.
