My grandpa was born 2 years after the titanic sunk and I’m only 25, he waited until he was in his 40s to have kids and my mom had me in her 40s, I have pictures from him that he took while stationed in Normandy after D-Day, it is very shocking to a lot of people when I tell them that, only 2 generations of that side of my family in the last century, if I’m lucky and live as long as he did I’ll make it to 2091 and then that 2 generations will have almost stretched out to 2 centuries, about 23 years short of 2 centuries, but 2 decades short of 2 centuries in only 2 generations won’t be that bad right.
Edit: Telling this reminded me of one of the photos he took of an elderly couple in front of a destroyed house, it said something like Mr. And Mrs. Family name they gave me food, no idea who that French elderly couple was but their kindness meant enough to my grandpa to show a picture of them to his grandson 60 years later
