Everybody in my family is reasonably young so I don't even have any grandparents over 70. My Great Grandma and my Granny Moir are the only great grandparents I know/knew. I knew another great grandma but she had gone kind of loopy. Her husband died so she married a trucker, adopted a couple of children and became convinced that she could see fairies in her garden...

It's wonder you developed a phobia of hospitals after what you must have went through! Plus, they're horrible places, so it's not that hard to hate them. Not particularly fond of them myself...

I looked up my Mum's maiden name again. Apparently it was brought to England from Germany and the spelling was influenced by the French language. They seem to appear in Yorkshire a lot which is pretty cool because my Grandad's from Hull! And yeah, I think there just happens to be a couple of random South Africans with the same name!

Wow! Family histories are really fun to find out about!
