It would be very helpful to quickly see the ages of persons at a given date. This could be used for comparing dates with a census. Having ages while doing research can help identify a person on other records. Knowing ages can help identify possible errors, duplicates, gaps between children, etc.

Furthermore, it would provide intriguing insight into ancestors. For example, "I discovered that my great grandmother was well into her 40s when she had her last child", or "her children are all born about 2 years apart.
