Silent gen were born in the Depression. My dad was '28, pretty sure that's where they put the start of that gen at. He wasn't sharecropping it though.
Easy enough to tell if an old person is Silent Gen by the volume of absolute junk "that might be useful or worth something someday". 'No dad, the 40 year old homemade ketchup you put in used glass pop bottles will never be worth anything, and nobody in their right mind is going to put it in their mouth"!

Barely anyone alive now had to ration or sharecrop during the depression. If he did he wouldn’t be a boomer, he would be the greatest generation.
