Newborn, meet great-great-great-grandma: 6 generations of same family gather in viral photo
Family generations covering nearly a century – spanning across six different women – came together earlier this year in a photo that has since taken the internet by storm.
The image was captured when Cordelia Mae Hawkins, 98, a matriarch on the cusp of becoming a centenarian, got to meet her great-great-great-granddaughter, a 7-week-old named Zhavia.
"That's almost a hundred years between them," Gracie Howell, 59, the baby girl's great-grandmother, told USA TODAY. "To be in the same room, it was just amazing."
The family is grateful to have so many generations still living, Howell said. They're not far behind the record for most living generations of one family, which is seven, according to Guinness World Records.
