I tried to figure out why the average age dropped so much from 1800 to 1900.
I created a test file with a male with lifespan 1960-1990 and a female
1960-2010. Their
average life should be 40 years.
Legacy 8 calculated the average to 39 years, 11m, 20d. OK.
Then I added a female born 1990, still
Could one of you explain to me how the statistics are calculated?
In my family file the average lifespan by century never exceeds 17 years
whereas the average male and female lifespans are around 53 and 48
respectively. These figures seem to be inconsistent with each other but
in the absence of
I can't figure this out. Same issue with marriages by century.

have a date of death. Legacy thinks that = 0 which will lower your age
stats a lot.

On Mon,
That may well be true. I have a tendency with pre-1837 records to only
put in a christening date and not estimate a birth date. However, having
said that I would expect that to affect both the by-century averages and
the by-gender averages and it is the major discrepancy between these
numbers that

David,
I note that there has not been a single response to your
question from the Legacy staff. I would have thought it a
simple thing for them to have supplied the answer to your
question, yet they have not done so. Additionally I believe
there should be an appendix to the Legacy manual that

What we are all wondering is what records are selected to be used for the
averaging?
For the 1900-1999 grouping does that mean a person had to be born aft 1900
or died after 1900?
How much does abt., aft., bet, bef, cal, cir, records are used if any?
