my ancestors are undead... was created by andrkac
There is a setting somewhere in webtrees - for people without date of death. If they have are more than 120(in my tree) years old, webtrees thinks they are dead. And this is ok.
But it doesn't work in Statistics (statistics.php). So in the table "Oldest living individuals" I have people almost 250 years old :)

I know, that I can set checkboxes, that they are dead, but if there is the setting, it should work.

Suggest you go to Admin > Batch Update > "Add missing death records" -- This will give you the option to add "Death: Yes" to everyone shown alive after 120 years, either individually or collectively.

The oldest "living" person in my tree is 1164 years old ;-)

If we ignored "living" people over 120, then my stats would simply tell me that I have lots of people who are 119 years and 11 months old. This is surely as incorrect and meaningless as my 1164 year olds.

So, I'm not sure what we'd gain by this change. The stats would still be wrong - and probably a great deal slower.
