All of mine are in the 36 to 24 year range, except for after 2000 which is only 22 days.
I’m sure they are only counting individuals that have both birth and death dates. For individuals born in one year and died in another, don’t know which range they’re assigning them to. For your older date ranges you probably don’t have many individuals, and certainly few dated infant/child deaths to be included in the averages.

But one area has me questioning the calculation methods used. For Average Lifespan here are my figures; Avg lifespan between 1600-1699 83 years, 4 months, 21 days Avg lifespan between 1700-1799 78 Years, 6 Months, 26 days Avg lifespan between 1800-1899 59 Years, 6 Months, 11 Days Avg lifespan between 1900-1999 24 Years, 0 months, 8 days So what concerns me is the last category where the avg drops to 24 years. I cannot seem to find anywhere that lists the various categories and how the were calculated or even what the considerations were for the data in the various items. Can someone explain the ratinale here? Other thoughts on the report; It would be nice to always suppress certain categories that have no relevance to my file, like and of the bef 1500 or 1500-1599 years range. Also its a shame that the report gathers only the top ten names and surnames. Since it has to add/calculate all the names, why not have a link to show the descending items from 11 to end? (So I can see where my own given name or surname ranks) Thanks in advance for any help of this.
