50 years 7 months over 13 generations

63 years & 10 months

Sorry got into watching The Day After Tomorrow!! Looks like on average in the 50's Wonder when people do their family tree in 100 years time what age it will be then with people living longer!!

61 years and 3 months. Although I have not included all the ones that died in infancy or at a very early age unless they were in my direct line.

50 years 9 months No. of records: 24,219 Earliest birth 1530 Next year I shall have set a new record for the longest living male. I hope to up the average considerably before I fall off the branch. len

Good on ya Len lol I often think along those lines. My dad died aged 47 and my brother aged 37 so I am awaiting my 48th birthday this year. But then good old mum will be 80 in April and is still going strong.

Well done Len - keep up the good work :-) Unfortunately with over 24000 in your tree one person doesn't make a huge amount of difference :-( Penny

59 years 1 month. 9 generations. Sue

i've got ftm but dont like it so cant work mine out.

Hi Penny 55 years and 9 months. Thanks for pointing that out.....I didn't know it was there. I'm still trying to work out how to use most of the features. Now, I'm no mathematician, but I think it probably works on how many death entries you have entered into your tree. As we know, it's usually harder to 'kill off' your ancestors than to find their births, so it probably isn't the most accurate of statistics. What do you think? Discuss! lol Jeanette x

My average is 62 years 2 months I also have a birth dated 1240 but havent verified it yet Jackie

639 individuals......12 generations.....51years.6 months average age. thats probaly very true, Jeanette...... Bob

mine is age 51, in-laws are 52 and 7 months surprised really as I thought it would be higher - there are quite a lot who are very long-lived. I wonder what it does with those you haven't got a death date for? Maz. XX

I think it does just work it out on the ones that you have death dates for. I've looked a couple of times when I have entered a death date & the total figure just roughly goes up or down by a month, The childhood deaths do bring it down a lot. Penny

Mine is 58 years and 1 month over 15 generations Margaret

51 years and six months. Blimey I,ve outstayed my welcome by 15 years!!! But then I aint going!!! am here forever LOL Shirley

Little lost Cousin Not so much of your 'old' mum, please. She's younger than me and I'm only coming up to middle-age. len

44 for men 82 for women. The males from one line of my family all died young, my granfather was the eldest till his time and he died aged 40 in WW1.
