My great-grandfather, Paris (circa 1930) posing with the carriage and the horses that would drown him in the Seine.thoxo OP t1_j6hecou wrote
For more context: On a tragic day, something scared the horses, they panicked and the carriage fell in the river while my great-gd was behind it, pushing him at the bottom of the water.

Sweet gracious, what a horrible way to die. And probably had no warning that those were going to be his final moments on earth. May your great-grandfather RIP.

He was the father of my dad's grandfather, so at least one. I don't know anything else about him.

If he was the father of your dad’s grandfather, he was your dad’s great-grandfather. That means he was your great-great-grandfather.
