Oddly, a friend and I were just having a similar conversation earlier this week on the value of identifying generational patterns, and your study falls right into that idea. There’s a lot to dig into there.
The marriage age is especially curious and begs the question of first vs subsequent marriages. I know I have a lot of that going on in my tree, especially due to maternal death in childbirth back in the day.
You’ve definitely inspired me to go a bit deeper into the numbers in my trees. Thanks for that and sharing this study!
Thanks Lori and I am pleased to hear that you found the blog interesting. There are certainly many different ways to present or analyse what is contained within our family history data and sometimes our perceived ideas can be proven wrong with statistical data like this. Some of the data I discovered was surprising. Please share with us what you discover.

I definitely will share it when I get it done! Once you start thinking about the possibilities, it’s pretty exciting, isn’t it!
The only limit is your imagination 😊
It's interesting to look at our research from all sorts of perspectives and angles. Thanks for sharing this one. Thanks also for the mention.
You’re welcome Jane you were the inspiration after all!
