I would bet good money that less than 1% of people can name all 8 of thier great grand parents. In other words you'll almost certainly be forgotten in a few generations, even by your own family.

- Latteland 8y agoThat's a brilliant and stunning way to think of it. I met 3 of my great grandparents but only knew one well. But because people are more likely to have kids later now, my own kids knew none of their great grandparents - that generation wasn't alive. The same is almost certain for the next generation of my family.
