My grandfathers on both my parents' sides, as well as my half-sister on my dad's side. She'd be in her mid-late twenties by now, so I'd be rather weary about meeting her, truth be told.
 
I'm very lucky it seems. I've met all my grandparents, all my uncles and aunts, all my cousins, and fair amount of my second cousins. (or like my Mom's cousin's kids and them themselves). I've also met 1 Great Grandmother, now desceased. O ya, 3ish sets of great Aunts and Uncles.

I ahe a connected family I guess.

I'm lucky to have my four grandparents alive until now.

This may sound strange to you, but I think it's easier not to know them. Otherwise, you feel sad and everything when you they have to pass away. I'm not saying I wouldn't want to know them. They're great people. It's just that sadness is much easier to get if you're happy. That's just my thought, not sure if the rest agrees.

I do not agree, that's a really sad philosophy. We humans are not rocks to avoid love in order avoid pain in turn, because one connotes the other always. I'd prefer to love and mourn rather than to never love or pain at all.

That said, I never met my father's father, even though he died when I was three.
 
My father's father and my father do not share the same nationality, and he died before my mother gets to know him. That might mean I have great aunts and uncles and cousins that lived somewhere else in the world and does not know they had relatives here.

But then, I knew my greatgrangmother. She died when I was five. Both my mom's parents are still alive. My father's mother died when I was twelve.
 
I've never met anyone on my mother's side, but on my father's side, I know my grandmother and I knew my great grandmother. I never knew any of my grandfathers, I think they both died before I was born...

And my mother's been an orphan for years, anyway.
 
I have never met my maternal grandfather but my mother never met her dad either.
 
Well, I never met my mother's father, nor my father (he didn't want to have a child, so he left my mother and I was adopted for my mother's old husband- kinda confusing). Obviously I don't know any of his relatives.
 
Like, half om my family lives in Estonia XD
I don't speak Estonian, thou xD
I wanna meet all of them ;/
 
I haven't seen any of my relatives who live in Mainland China D:
 
I have never met some of my mums side of the family. They live over 4 hours away so we don't see them.
 
I have never meant any of my Grandfathers. One is dead for sure and the other one is, well I have no clue



:t354:TG
 
I never met my grandmother on my father`s side. I`m more close to my mother`s side of the family, honestly. I only met my grandfather on my father`s side like twice when he came here to visit us. It`s sorta wierd. Hopefully in the future I`ll meet them again one day, especially my grandmother.
 
Three of my grandparents died long before I was born so I only ever knew my maternal grandmother who I was never really attached to. However, I do regret not going to see her at the hospital the last night she was alive.
 
I've seen MOST of my reletives, except, some of my Grandmother's sisters, and vice versa. I have never seen most of my cousins yet either.
