10 things you don't know about me...#8

On one side of my family, the Bivens side, i am the youngest great grandchild.  My mom was the youngest grandchild.  My grandmother was the youngest child.

My Grandmother, Dorothy Louise Bivens Laney, was born July 5th, 1909.  She was the youngest of 8 children born to JW and Anna Bivens.  Only 6 of the children made it to adulthood.  There were 23 years separating Grandmother and her oldest sibling, Mary Lee.  In fact, Aunt Mary Lee was married only a little over 3 weeks after Grandmother was born.

My Mom, Mary Bivens Laney Fornes, was born June 3rd, 1944.  She was the youngest of two children, her older brother Bill being born in 1939.  Mom's oldest cousin on the Bivens side was Margaret Carroll, who i believe was about 30 years older than Mom.  But don't quote me on that LOL

i, myself, was born December 5th, 1974.  i am the youngest of two, my older brother Bill being born in 1971.  And i'm the youngest of my Grandmother's 5 grandchildren and the youngest of my Great Grandmother's 15 great grandchildren.
