Today I realised I had photos ( albeit not great quality of one) of all 4 of my Great Grandmothers and that might make a nice layout – to see the photos of them side by side.
I grew up knowing one of my Great Grandmothers very well as she didnt die until I was in my late teens . I knew of another and had seen a photo, but she died before I was born. The other two ( on my fathers side) I had absolutely no knowledge of at all and Im only now just learning about them.
Journalling on this layout reads :
Most of you I never knew, and some of you I never even knew of. You are all four beautiful strong women who faced adversity and a changing world. You may never have known each other , and yet you are indelibly connected, because you are each my Great GrandMother

I'm really enjoying your genealogy blog and layouts Lauren, and looking forward to carving out some time to work on some of my own. This is such a beautiful layout and how wonderful to put all four of your great-grandmothers on one page! I think you favor your great-aunt Edith quite a bit!
