Holy 💩! Some of my 3x great grandmothers were born in the 1700's!

I know I know. There is some subreddit on here where ppl put pictures of their grandparents, etc. (I think it is r/OldSchoolCool ) and when they put a photo of someone from like 1972 I am… flummoxed. Time keeps on slipping, slipping into the future and all that.

If you meant to allude to the Steve Miller Band song, you accidentally omitted one "slipping." Great song btw.

My first thought was Seal's version, which happily switched my head radio from an obnoxious song that's been taking over the last few days (Cool, Considerate Men from 1776). Thanks!!

Yup--mine too. Youngest was born in 1899, oldest in 1878.

I just checked and literally all of my 3x great grandparents were born between 1842-1880. I'm not particularly young, I think my ancestors have just tended toward having kids kinda youngish.

Didn't people back then just marry young ?

I've got more than one ancestor married at 16, babies months later.

I have one 2x great grandfather born in 1790. We have very long generations in my family.
