Age limit indexing a deceased person
Hello! Has anyone had this issue before? I'm trying to index someone's register, and she passed away at the age of 133 (in the image clearly says "ciento treinta y tres" in spanish). But the Quality Check does not allow me because the field requires a maximum value of 130.
What should I do? Thanks in advance!

Community responder here (not FamilySearch): I guess just put in 130 if that's the max? I don't know if they would allow this one entry correction?

I'm a bit confused on that document that the image is showing, because other than early Old Testament times, no one in recorded history had lived to that age (or at least not that I'm aware of), so it could be a mistake on the document that is in the image, but I honestly have no clue.

The text seems quite clear. Año de nacimiento del fallecido * - do the instructions say to calculate or only list this if the records record it? This could be another way to indicate 133.

Perhaps the person lived 133 days and the registrar wrote 133 years? In any event, I would mark this blank and leave it up to the researcher to figure out. They aren't going to reprogram the field for one individual. We can't search on age. So, it really doesn't matter if the age is entered or not in this case.

The text clearly reads 133 years. If the birth and death years are correct that should also take care of it.

Apparently I have no choice than typing 130 or leave it as <blank>. I'm going to do the first because the register says she died of "ancianity", I guess she had a long life.
Thank you all for your opinions.

You should leave it as blank since she did not die at 130. But, the researcher who finds the image will see the age and figure it all out. If this is true that she lived 133 years, she will have been the longest living person in recorded history. Currently this is Jean Calmut from France, who lived to be 122 years and 164 days (1875-1977).
