Little Emmi makes a great grand entrance

Toddler's family has five living generations

- PAUL BEHAN

Two Ayrshire families are celebrating the birth of a bouncing baby girl that means they have five living generations.

The Gillespie and Affleck families welcomed little Emmi into the world on Monday, May 12 and Emmi's arrival has given both families the opportunity to celebrate.

Not only do they have a beautiful new addition to their families, they also boast a rare feat that involves a great-great-grandparent, great-grandparent, grandparent, parent, and child all being alive at the same time.

While families with four living generations are more common, having two families connected in a living five-generation heritage is much rarer.
