Last month I started a pedigree chart and listed what all of my ancestors died from. I also noted how old they were. I was glad to know that today people live about 20 years longer now than they did a few generations ago.
It was interesting to see the causes of death. Some of my female ancestors died in childbirth or shortly after giving birth. I found some causes of death with a pattern that I want to pay attention to.

Golly, gee. I guess I have another fifty years to go. I have ancestors that lived to be at least 100 years when they died.

I have seen some interesting family histories - one family's men all died of heart attacks in their 50s & 60s. My father was adopted but we know his ancestors now - making a chart of causes of death is a good idea.

I thought that I had several ancestors that had lived very long lives. Two things changed my stats:
- Factoring in those that died extremely early.
- DNA proving that one of my lines was incorrect. The new line came with some very young deaths.
So, I can choose to throw out the early deaths of women that died in childbirth. (I was blessed to survive.)
Can I also throw out two very young deaths from leukemia and cancer? Can I really pick and choose which relatives I can pull out of my statistics because I didn't die in childbirth? I can't predict whether I would get cancer or leukemia. The early deaths of 4 or 5 individuals made the average age of death of my ancestors drop drastically. I used the ages of all ancestors for quite a few generations. Obviously we live longer now than people did in the past.

Have you been able to do the research on his bio family? This made a big difference to my statistical information. I had decided that all of my ancestors were old timers, but then I added new information. My healthy ancestors lived long lives. Some just didn't get the same opportunity. I hope to be the health one. I have always predicted that I would die at 104.
