Question

I want to know more about my Great-Grandfather His name was Frank Mashburn can you help?

Answer 1

Yes, please give us more details.  When and where did he live?

Answer 2

Consider this:

IF (big IF) you are now 16 and the result of a long line of teen-aged lovers:

You were born 16 years ago, in 1992;

Your father was born 16 years before that, in 1976;

Your grandfather was born 16 years before that, in 1960;

Your great grandfather was born 16 years before that, in 1944.

IF (Another big IF) you are now 80 and the result of a long line of men who had a child by their second wives when they were 60:

You were born 80 years ago, in 1928;

Your father was born 60 years before that, in 1868;

Your grandfather was born 60 years before that, in 1808;

Your great grandfather was born 60 years before that, in 1748.

The Great-Grandfather born in 1944 could have been a 26-year old soldier in Viet Nam in 1970. When he got home he might have gone to a disco in a powder-blue double-knit polyester leisure suit.

The Great-Grandfather born in 1748 could have been a 28-year old soldier serving under George Washington in the American Revolution in 1776. When he got home, he might have danced a reel at a barn dance, in a pair of silk knee breeches and shoes with silver buckles.

Both examples are extreme, both are physically possible, both show why a birth year or even a birth decade help more than the phrase "my (great) grandfather".
