More then five at least. We're city slickers.
Mom's side: Mother was an HR manager, grandmother was a house wife (I honestly don't know further on that grandmother's side), Grandfather went to USC, was a fighter pilot in WW2 and later because middle management in the insurance industry, great grandfather worked for his father's electrical lighting company in Chicago, great great grandfather started a neon lighting company in Chicago & had the contract to make neon budweiser signs for the state of Illinois. I honestly don't know what any of the women did before becoming house wives. Dad's side: Dad is an electrical engineer, his dad was originally a coal miner in the 1930's but later owned his own painting company, great grandfather was a mechanic working on steam engines as was his father. |

One grandfather grew up on a farm but eventually became a clerk, the other grandfather grew up in a lumber camp but eventually became an engineer, so my last peasant ancestor was either my grandfather or my great-grandfather depending on how you measure it (the lumberjack great-grandfather eventually became a hotel manager, but the farmer great-grandfather was a farmer his entire life). I forget my grandmothers' parents' professions, but I'm pretty sure that my grandmothers were city girls for most/all of their life (my grandmother used to tell horror stories about the food at the lumber camp when she'd visited my grandfather prior to getting married).
