That's just long enough for memories to start get muddled and for a family, if they really wanted to, to slip into obscurity and for people to stop looking for them. 1. I told you earlier in this thread that he said great-great grandfather.

2. In volume 2, Ozpin said the Great War ended '''80 years ago. EIGHTY.'''

3. And as I said just above, there are most certainly people still alive who were alive during the Great War.
