Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What did/do you call your father's and mother's father?

Only had 1 grandfather I knew "Po-Po" born in 1888 died in 1973, my mothers dad. Only grand parent I had.

Home and the other lost , probably. (Haven't really met them yet.) Grandpa would fit...

Grandpa.

My Mom's dad was Big Daddy. My Dad's dad passed away long before I arrived.

I called them Grandma and Grandpa and with great respect. They were born in the late 1870s and early 1880s. My fraternal Grandfather spent considerable time with me teaching me life skills like Christian ethics and morals.

mom's side, Pops and Gram Pops was born in 1906, one of the sweetest, best guys to ever grace this planet


dad's side Grandpa Troy, and Grandma


edit to add: also knew my great grandad, Pops' dad, he lived by himself until he died at 99 years of age, he must have been born around 1865 or so

Never knew either, but they were referred to as Pa and John Tom.

Nana and Pappy.

Gunner

Grand Daddy and Grand Mother on both sides.

In fact, neither of my Grand Mother's would even allow Grandma. NO!

Grand-dad or Pop suffices in Australia.

Grandpa and Grandma

Holly [bleep]! You really DO come from a modern family!

Grampa, both sides. My grandkids call me PaPa, I kinda like it.

Grampa, both sides. Paternal grandfather was born in 1901 or '03, maternal grandfather in 1907, I think. Both lived into their nineties, as did my paternal grandmother. Maternal grandmother died at 89, she almost made it to 90. Great Grandmother on Dad's side died at 96.

That's debatable.

My wife sure thinks I'm an anachronism.

Actually, my mom's patents died before I was born.

Grandpa was born in the year 1900. Dad, 1939. Me, 1976.

Granddad on my father's side born 1900... Popsey on my mother's born 1905. Both great guys.

My dad is granddad to his grandchildren, figured I'd be too... my daughter said no way pick another, she's not too fond of my dad.

I'm Pappy... Ugly 'Ol Pappy to be formal... my wife is Mimi, Mean 'Ol Mimi... we have one spoil't grandchild.

Kent

Galled both of them SIR when answering them and Grandpa when asking one.

Papaw on both sides, one born in 1927 and the other in 1906.

I also knew one great grandfather, he was born in 1907.

Grampa for both. They were both born in the 1880's.

Granddad for both,my Mom's dad was born 1915 or so,died Dec 17,1993. My Dads Dad I do not know,since my Dad was born in 1942,I would guess the same as my other Granddad. I miss all 4 of them (GrandMa and Granny along with the Granddads).
