Found it!!! I ran the filter for age at death was greater than 17 (so it counts age 18 on up).
I have 354 people who died after the age of 18 (I guess the other 43 deaths are all babies - and those are the ones that I've found so far). Average age at death: 66.5 years with a standard deviation of 17.0 years. Minimum age at death 20 and maximum age at death was 101 years. I have the deaths on 185 males (over the age of 17). Average age at death: 66.9 years with a standard deviation of 16.6 years. Minimum age at death 20 and maximum age at death was 101 years. I have the deaths on 169 females (over the age of 17). Average age at death: 66.0 years with a standard deviation of 17.5 years. Minimum age at death 21 and maximum age at death was 96 years. To make this a really valid study, I'd have to find the deaths on ALL my ancestors and then take a true random sample (like picking a name out of a hat). The same guy who died at 101 keeps popping up (yes, Altino, your great-grandfather). Roughly and unscientifically though, it looks like the adults in my family died in their 60s on average, but I have a few in their 90s and one at 101.
