    Through the 80. He is alive and well after two miocardial infarction in his 50s, as conclusion of heavy smoking. He still phisically active and mentally well. He is a little grumpy tho lol

    I can't tell you that much, because there aren't a lot of records. My 3rd great-grandfather died during the Civil War, and I can't trace past him. But based on what I've seen so far, around 80 or so (excluding my grandfather who died in combat during the Civil War. He was in his 30s).

    My P.Grand Father died at age 63 in 1971and my P.Grand mother also died at age 63 in 1996. However all the six brothers of my P.Grand father lived well beyond 90 years.

    My Maternal G.Father is in his 90,s and still alive. All his 3 brothers were centurians. However my M. Grandmother died very young age of 30 due to an epidemic.

    My biological father was adopted but his "birth family" had congenital kidney disease stemming from a Great-Great Grandmother in the 19th century. A bunch of them croaked prematurely. My half uncle died at age 40 due to kidney disease. So far, I have escaped the scourge.

    My mother's father lived to be 88. His father lived to be 81. Somewhere back in the 19th century there was some irascible old bugger that lived to be 101! My mother's mother is still alive (evil never dies) and is pushing 90. Her mother lived to be 94. I'm very tall so I will probably not live into my 90s (assuming humanity doesn't extinct itself by then regardless.) We shall see.

    The old (deceased) guy in my profile pic is an ancestor of mine. He was an Englishman.

    These are the ones whom have died going directly through the paternal line for which I have accurate birth and death records, the average is 57.3 years. My maternal side has much more longevity, particularly my mother's father's side with my maternal grandfather's family having individuals with very long lifespans in the XVIII and XIX centuries.

    Paternal 9th Great-Grandfather 48 (1644-1697)
    Paternal 8th Great-Grandfather 53 (1671-1726)
    Paternal 7th Great-Grandfather 63 (1697-1760)
    Paternal 6th Great-Grandfather 54 (1723-1777)
    Paternal 5th Great-Grandfather 52 (1752-1804)
    Paternal 4th Great-Grandfather 57 (1784-1842)
    Paternal 3rd Great-Grandfather 67 (1822-1890)
    Paternal 2nd Great-Grandfather 38 (1873-1911)
    Paternal Great-Grandfather 74 (1907-1981)
    Paternal Grandfather 67 (1930-1998)
