[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not as bad as some of these things, but this is something about my family that I just found out from my mother.

When my bisnonna was pregnant with my nonno she found out that her husband (my bisnonno) had a long-term mistress.  She was upset, because this had been going on for years apparently.  He retaliated by putting her in a insane asylum, where she gave birth to my nonno.

She died from complications a few days after giving birth.  My bisnonno had money that came from her side of the family, but just told them to put her in the paupers graveyard.  He then married his mistress who abused my grandfather while he grew up.  She would tell him that they had wanted to abandon him on the road after they picked him up from the asylum, or drop him off at a church as a foundling.  They never let him know his mother's family, and he didn't even know her name until his wedding when his father had to help him complete the marriage certificate.

When my bisnonno and his wife died, they left nothing to my nonno, even though most of it came from his mother.  Everything was left to his step-brothers from the mistress.[/quote]
Do you think bisnonno/a is a standard term everyone understands?[/quote]
Google + context.  It's not that hard.[/quote]

Why not just say grandmother, grandfather etc.  I too thought it was weird.[/quote]
