32 weeks into 52 weeks of the year! I'm of course writing this well after the 32nd week as I got behind during the summer break with the kids.
Did you know that each of us have thirty two 3rd great grandparents? Thirty two! Out of my thirty two I have names for all but four. Also out of thirty two, I have four with the last name Allen! They are all four on my mama's paternal side. I wonder if they are related to each other? I've not found that to be true yet; however Allen is not exactly an unusual name. Below each one is listed along with their parents names (if known) and their family information.

It's interesting to have so many Allens on one branch. I also have an Allen or two on another branch of the tree, but it's further back and one comes from England directly. Do you know all of your thirty two third great grandparent's names?
