You might possibly be able to find the names of your great grandparents on internet services such as Ancestry.com

More likely you can find them by:

  • Asking your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, or older cousins
  • finding the birth records of your grandparents
  • finding their immigration records
  • finding the military records of your great grandfathers
  • finding the will of some of them
  • finding the grave stones

You know your ancestors because:

  • you met some of them (parents, grandparents, etc)
  • you were told about them by your parents, older siblings or other relatives
  • you saw annotated photos of them in family albums
  • you read a family history written by some other relative
  • your did your own research and traced your ancestry through libraries, archives, and family documents.
