After a new count, I see I now have 29/32 ggg grandparents. Not a lot to show in 4 years. It makes you wonder just how much more there is out there, at least that far back. Mind you, I've found a lot more of OH's family.

Hmmmmm........made me wonder which of my 256 gggggg grandparents I look like!!!!! Mine varies enormously, brick walls with some, then back to the early 1600s with others. I think it must be unusual to trace all lines back that far. :-D

Whilst looking at my paper tree, I see I have named all 4 gparents,
8 g gparents, 16 gg grandparents, 25/32 ggg grandparents, 22/64 gggg grandparents, 14/128 ggggg grandparents, and 3/256 gggggg grandparents.
Mind you, I did have the advantage of my grandmothers being closely related.
I can trace those 3 gggggg grandparents back a bit further too.
