My grandchildren call me Papa …

Welcome, GrNadpa. Our eldest son calls my husband "Pops" and me "Ma"

Been having trouble with the Granset message app as I try to respond to each of you. Perhaps a straight post acknowledging these wonderful welcomes will work. Here's hoping.

As far as starting a thread about my very fulfilling hobby, I will after I get to know folks a bit better through their posts here.

And, though I may have some Scottish genes, my first grandchild spontaneously labelled me with the "Papa" moniker. Don't know where she heard it. Most likely she garbled something else that we misunderstood to be "Papa". In any case it stuck through all the following grand-descendants. And much preferred to other names I've been called.

Welcome to Gransnet. Put a Genealogy post on there are a lot interested and can often help with problems.
My DH gets called gramps and on odd days grumps.

My OH is 'Papa' to our GS, just as his dad is 'Papa' to our son, and we're Scottish.

Welcome GrNadpa

My son’s little boys call their maternal grandfather “PappaG” - it sounds so sweet - I just love hearing that. And they call their grandmother “Ma” - and I’m just plain old “Nan” 😂

Twice! Oops.

Welcome.

Welcome, my lovely grandfather was from Scotland and I affectionately always called him Papa.

Welcome to Gransnet grNADpa i hope you enjoy the discussions.

Are you Scottish, grnadpa? Papa is widely used in Scotland as the sobriquet for the paternal grandfather.

My grandchildren call me Papa that's lovely grNadpa and welcome to GN.

Sorry no-one has said 'welcome' to you yet. Perhaps you could start a geneology thread on the forums, but hope you enjoy Gransnet anyway!
