According to family trees at rootsweb!.com, Ethan Allen's father was Joseph Allen born 1708 in Deerfield, MA and died in Cornwall, CT!. His mother was Mary Baker born 1709 in Woodbury, CT and died 1774 in Cornwall, CT!.

His grandfather Samual Allen was born in 1665 in MA and died 1718 in Coventry, CT, his great grandfather Nemehiah Allen was born 1634 in South Windsor, CT and died 1684 Northampton, MA and his great great grandfather Samuel Allen was born 1597 in Braintree, Essex, England and died 1648 in Windsor, CT!.

Since your project is about your family heritage, any you want to focus on the fact that Ethan Allen is your ancestor, I would think it would be very important to show how your family line connects to him!. If you already have your family tree with this information, great! - then you can link the two family trees together!.

If not, you could always ask your parents about their grandparents or great grandparents (full names, years and locations of birth/death and if possible, sibling's, children's, parent's or maiden names) Keep in mind, the most valuable information are details for your relatives who are deceased and/or were born before 1930, because records from the early 1900s and earlier are easily accessible on the internet!.

Once you have this information, you could post the details in your question and you'll find that several people with access to genealogy resources will quickly help to trace your ancestors back through each generation and if all goes well, find your direct connection to Ethan Allen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
