Why is the age of persons of more than 80 years old not displayed? Why aren they in the statistics of the oldest persons?

In GeneWeb, the indication of death has three states: “alive”, “died” and “don’t know”. The age is displayed only for “alive” (still living) persons. If the age is not there, the reason is that either the person is dead (without indication of date), or the indication is at “don’t know”. If you added this person with GeneWeb and you did not specify if he/she is alive or dead, or if your database comes from a GEDCOM file (the indication “still living person” does not exist in standard GEDCOM 5.5), GeneWeb applies the following algorithm: • if the person is less than 80 years old, he/she is indicated “alive”. • if he/she is more than 120 years old, he/she is indicated “dead”. • between the two ages, he/she is indicated “don’t know”. You have to fix these indications if they are incorrect.
