Ok, so I remember the name of the ghost, but not my great grandfather's name. That's just spiffy.

When the generations are generally 16 years or less apart, it's much easier. And I suspect I could do half of my great-great grandparents, but that would be kind of like arguing over how tall Ted Kennedy is.
