great-great-grandmothers
Great-grandparents' own mothers
Great-great-grandmothers is the plural of great-great-grandmother—a grandmother's grandmother, or equivalently, a parent's great-grandmother.
She sits four generations back from the reference point: My great-great-grandmothers were born in the 1800s.
Most people have four great-great-grandmothers, though few know their names.
