Actually, I have absolutely no idea! I need to find out.

Golly, I'm not sure I know GREAT grandmas.

One was Betsy, so I guess she was Elizabeth. I don't know the other.

On maternal side they were called Mildred? and Sarah I think.

I imagine the names that were common for our greatgrandmothers depends how old we are. I don't know any of mine but my grandmothers were born in the 1890s and they were Mary and Katherine. This was possibly when other posters greatgrandmothers were born.
