Hi
The problem is that they usually continued having children for about
20 to 25 years in one family, that is the youngest sibling could be
the same age as children of the oldest.Women seemed to bear children
from about 20 to about 45. I used to use the 20 years as well but
found it put me many years off if I used it for more than two
generations. It all depends where the child falls in the family. If
you have any idea whether there were older of younger siblings, adjust
it accordingly. Sorry, not much of an answer!
