By what name did you call your grandparents ??

[Naturally]

Mamaw & Pop ~ mother's parents
Memaw & Pappy ~ father's parents

 

[JBR]

Grandpa & Grandma, father's side

Grandpa & Nana, mother's side (My mother was half Italian-Swiss)

 

[dilettante]

Grampa & Gramma, both sides.

 

[Jace]

Didn't..both G-Pa(s)..gone.
Didn't see G-Ma(s)..that often..and not much said.

 

[CathyHorn]

Both my grandfather's had passed before I was born. I had 2 Grandma's and lost them both when I was 17

 

[mrstime]

Gramma and granpa (forget D's) on my fathers side. My mothers father died before she was born in the first world war, her mother died when my mother was 6 months old in the pandemic of 1918. It is a whacky story and I got lucky and was born in California.

I'd like to add we became Canadian citizens back in 1975.

 

[oscash]

On my mother's side we called them Granny and Grandad
On my father's side we only got to meet Grandmother as his father died when my father was 5 years old.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

I'm of French Canadian, so it was "meme" (memmay) and pepe.

 

[hollydolly]

I'm a Celt so both sets of grandparents were called Granny and Granda..

 

[Brookswood]

My grandmother was called Nana. Both my grandfathers died before I was born, so I had no name for them. The missing grandmother lived in Italy and I had no name for her either.

 

[JBR]

Gramma and granpa (forget D's) on my fathers side. My mothers father died before she was born in the first world war, her mother died when my mother was 6 months old in the pandemic of 1918. It is a whacky story and I got lucky and was born in California.

Most likely, although I thought I was saying grandma & grandpa, it was coming out without much of a D.

 

[CallMeKate]

My dad's parents both died before I could know them... my grandma just two weeks after I was born, and my grandpa when I was 2. My mom's parents were Mem and Pawpaw when I was little, but when the new generation started being born, he became Pappy when the new gen started calling my dad Pawpaw.

 

[perplexed]

I only new my paternal grandfather for a short time,we called him pawpaw, if I had known my grandmother we would have most likely called her mammaw.

My maternal grandmother was polish she was called busha by my oldest sister that remembers her.

 

[fancicoffee13]

I called all my grandmothers grandma, and my grandfathers, grandpa.

 

[debodun]

Father's - grandma & grandpa
Mother's - grammy & grandpa

 

[oldman]

They were simply Grandma and Grandpa.

 

[Timewise 60+]

Both of my father's parents died before I was born. They both smoked and died young, as did my dad, he smoked also! But that's another topic...

My grandmother was called 'granny' and my grandfather was called 'grandad'...I was close to both of them, and they were wonderful! I still miss them both...

 

[VaughanJB]

Only ever knew one parent from both my mother and father. My mother's father was "granddad". My fathers mother was "Nan".

 

[jujube]

Maternal: Grandma _______ and Grandpa _______ (first names)

Paternal: Grandma and Grandpa ______ (shortened version of last name)

That's when referring to them. Addressing them, it was just Grandma and Grandpa.
