How long is seven generations?

Answer 1

there is no fixed time, it just means that you have moved 7 tiers down the generations, like your parents are one generation up, your granparents 2 generations, great grandparents 3 generations up etc. If the average age to have a child is, say, 25, then 7 generations will be around 175 years. If you took the average age to have a child as 30, then 7 generations would be 210 years.

Answer 2

This all depends on the time between generations.
Assuming that a woman can have a child anywhere from around 15 to 45 years old, you have about 105-315 years for 7 generations.
If you average it out you get around 210 years for 7 generations of 30 years each.

Answer 3

I think a generation averages about 30 years.....so 7 generations would be approximately 210 years....

but, if you are counting generations in a family, since the age of a parent at the birth of a child varies, you will get a widely varying number of years if you want to figure the amount of time that has gone by.....

7 generations in family talk/genealogy could also just mean counting of parent to child....and you do not necessarily have to worry about # of years....I just know that going back (starting with me as #1), 7 generations, I am talking about my 4-great-grandparents generation in my ancestral chart.

Answer 4

Statistically, I think they consider 20 years to be a generation. When they refer to the Baby Boom generation, they refer to people born between 1945 and 1964. It isn't a perfect system, as my brother and sisters are technically baby boomers while I am technically not, being born in 1966. Go figure.

Answer 5

a generation is roughly 30 years... so 30x7 would be 210 years

Answer 6

700 years?
