    This is really interesting. You had some who lived really long lives, but I wondered about those who did not. It would be interesting to do one that included cause of death.

      I think that is a GREAT idea! I'm not sure if I know the cause of death on all of them. My brother had asked a similar question. :)

    This was a SNGF that I couldn't resist either. It was interesting to explore the lifespan statistics for those in this generation.
