The colonial Allen surname got to be a mess in the last 12 years or so. DNA testing is slowly sorting it out, so that it's now possible again to know which lines of evidence to trust and even to extend it. There is even a marker for the four of the five original Va. Allen families. This whole project is pretty good.

My New Amsterdam Brouwer, DeRaet(Drake), and Bogardus families send their regards. Possibly more if the DNA can show which of several questioned marriages are the real ones. Religious nutters on one side of the family, peasants on the other.
