I can go to the grave of my g-g-grandparents (born in the 1700s), as my Father's side of the family have a private cemetary in Louisiana. My Mom's family researched and have a book, but I've never been close to them. My Mom's sister lives about an hour away and I haven't seen her since my g-mother died (8 years ago). Her daughter (my first cousin) lives about 6 streets over from my youngest daughter and I don't stop in to see her either. I keep in touch with my paternal cousins all over the country.
It's weird to look at it in this perspective, but my Dad's parents were born in the late 1800s, so to me that doesn't seem like too long ago. Of course, they lived to 94 and 97 years old, too.
