Fact

My grandfather and my great-grandfather were both born in the same year.

How can this be?  Well, I just realized, while going through some family history yesterday, that my mom's dad's dad was born in 1894 in Mitchell, South Dakota.  That same year, my dad's dad was born across the ocean in Denmark.  Somehow a descendant from each of these families found each other in a Minneapolis coffee house in 1976 and produced me.  And they didn't even have internet access.
