Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Lifespans of Your Third Great-Grandparents

Randy Seaver of GeneaMusing has another great Saturday Night Genealogy Fun task:

1)  We each have 32 3rd great grandparents.  How did their birth and death years vary?  How long were their lifespans? 

2)  For this week, please list your 32 third great grandparents, their birth year, their death year, and their lifespan in years.  You can do it in plain text, in a table or spreadsheet, or in a graph of some sort.

3)  Share your information about your 32 great-great grandparents with us in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this blog post, or on Facebook or Google+.  Please leave a link to your information as a comment to this post.

Note:  Only list those you know about.  If you don't know many of them, do your 16 2nd great-grandparents.

I decided to do the 32 third great-grandparents of my daughter, so that my husband’s and my 16 great great-grandparents are both listed. Her paternal are in blue. Her maternal are in green.
