grandparents

We were to write about our ansectors this month in my writing class and I realized I did not know as much about them as I thought. My own mother was a twin and they say twins run in the family. I know she had a sister who I think had two sets of twins which did not live. My mother's twin only lived a short time. She named my oldest sister after her twin. My own children weighed a lot when they were born but there was only one of them. Just nice fat babies. I knew quite a bit about my mother's family as she let me interview her once when I was making grandparents books for my grandchildren. My dad's mother never talked much about her family, I knew she had a clever brother who became President of a college and convinced my father to get a college education but one grandfather died before I was born and the other one knew my name but did not tell me about his family but then I was 10 when he died and doubt if many grandfather have long talks with grandchildren even now. I knew all my dad's brothers and his one sister, He never talked about his uncles or aunts. When my grandmother Burkhardt died and was buried I know they buried her beside the wrong Burkhardt and my dad had to pay to have her moved by her husband, At the time our local minister said a few words over her and she was laid to rest beside the correct husband.
