Paternal Grandfather: Directly/Indirectly - Granddaddy

-- Here's the funny part...my Dad and aunt have their own names for their parents.

They both called my grandmother "Ma." But, my Dad calls my grandfather "Pappy" and my aunt calls him "Dadeo." I think it's adorable!

I call my own father "Papa."


Country Side:

Maternal Grandmother: Granny

Paternal Grandfather: Grandpa


Greats

Father's Mother's Mother (RIP): Grandmother Hart

Father's Father's Mother (RIP): Grandmomee or just Momee (pronounced: mah MEE)

*Bless her heart! She's 104 years old!!

OHHHHHH! The heritage we seem to identify most with is my father's mother's family. We refer to my great-great-great-grandfather by his first name! LOL!

And, that name is "Atharates."
