Arturo……my great grandfather was age 72 when my grandfather was
born….he was the youngest of 17 children from my greatgrandfather’s two
marriages…..His second wife (my great-grandmother) was 42 when they had my
grandfather…..then yesterday I found one of his relatives (that I wrote
about earlier) who was age 80 when he fathered a child…..I give thanks
that all this “happened” because I would not be here if it hadn’t! 🙂

Subject: [Nuestros Ranchos] My greatgrandfather was 50 years older than his
wife

One of my maternal great grandfathers, Feliciano Gil Pinedo de la Torre,
married for the first time at the age of 21 with a woman more or less his
age. The couple had several children, two of whom married two sisters.
After the death of the first wife, when my great-grandfather was 49 years
old, he remarried with my great-grandmother who was 15 at the time. My
great-great grandmother happened to be the younger daughter of Feliciano’s
two daughter-in-laws…

Talk about a genealogical tree with crooked branches… My grandfather, who
was the second-youngest of the second marriage childern was born when my
great-grandfather was 66 years old and his younger brother was born when
Feliciano was 68!
