Living could be difficult: do you assume someone whose death is not entered to be living (if birth less than x ago, and if so what x to use)? The only reliable figure (and that variably so, depending as it does on how reliable entered data is) would be number known to have died. >Longest surviving; >Shortest surviving; Other | Graphic Charts | Lifespan (or Age (still living)) will give this broken down by decade. (Also you can select males or females only.) >etc >etc Other charts available are birth death and marriage months, and number of children (optionally excluding zero). You can also get count of descendants of a person, which is broken up by generation. [] A report such as you describe would be interesting, but I suspect no small amount of effort to provide. There'd need to be configuration options, such as do you use baptism/christening date if birth date not recorded, similarly for burial if no death date (for the lifespan calculations). Though since the graphic charts are offered, maybe not as huge an amount of work (and certain choices must have already been made about birth/christening etc.; I would guess birth/death only). Out of curiosity, what would you like to have available such a report for - just for your own curiosity, or do you have another reason/use? -- J. P. Gilliver.
