Randy has supplied us with another intriguing Saturday Night Genealogy Fun challenge. This challenge involves looking at how old my 2nd great grandparents lived to be. I enjoy these types of challenges as they give me a different way of looking at my genealogy.
I cheated and let RootsMagic 7 Family Tree Genealogy Software
do the work for me. I created an ahnentafel report, then copy and pasted the 5th generation…my 2nd great grandparents.

In this generation, no one lived beyond 75. Interestingly, I compared this to my great grandparents. While the women in the list above were less likely to make it 70, three of my great grandmothers lived into their 80s. Three of my four great grandfathers died before the age of 70.
Thanks for this interesting challenge, Randy!
