Have your dc got great grandparents still alive?

I was lucky enough to be able to choose to have my eldest dc fairly young. DH was 13 when his last great grandparent died. My DS1 is now nearly 16 with one great grandparent still alive. I think this is amazing as all my great grandparents died before I was born and by the time I was DS1's age I only had 1 grandparent still alive. Just wondering if anyone else or their dc still have/had great grandparents still alive when they were older than 15?

Yes, DS has two great grandmothers at 16. My last great grandmother died when I was 19.

My dsx2 had 3 of their great grandparents alive when they were born. Only one remaining and my sons are 12 and 10. Their great granda is still working away and in mostly good health so hopefully here for a long time to come

My DC have one great grandparent left on their dad's side. She's turning 100 this year. My eldest is 12, but she also has a GGC who is nearly 20.

My grandma died 4 years ago, but she was a great great grandma before she died as one of my cousins and her daughter both had children young. My cousin was a grandma at 40 so her mum and dad are only in their 60's. Plenty of scope to become great great grandparents themselves.
