Can you please tell me how to do this one?

I tried, "W. Harrison grandfathered B. Harrison," just to discover that No, grandfathered has a completely different meaning--it does not have the same conotation as fathered.

You'd probably have something better than writing, "W. Harrison made himself the grandfather of B. Harrison," I suppose?

Thank you.

Re-edit: "I identify W. Harrison as the maternal grandfather of B. Harrison." Do all the forum E-Primers think it acceptabe?

W.Harrison, known as the grandfather of B.Harrison..(if there exists a continuation of the phrase)
B.Harrison, known to all as grandson of W.Harrison.

Thank you, parmina. I like your way of making it a continuation.

Instead of

"Daniel Boorstin was the grandson of Russian Jewish immigrants, and he studied at Harvard, Oxford, and Yale."

we'd have

"Daniel Boorstin, [known as] the grandson of Russian Jewish immigrants, studied at Harvard, Oxford, and Yale."
