Ages as of RoF have been replaced by year of birth. This change was made first in version 6h at the request of users who stated that the farther we get into the series, away from the date of the RoF, the more confusing it was for the grid to list ages as of that date. Workplace status is as of the end of the calendar year 1634 (omitting changes for important characters, which will occur as the result of book plots rather than of the grid program). Since Eric has declared that GV has not kept an unnecessarily large number of people in the military permanently, most of those in the previous “unallotted military” category have been sent to the reserves and are now listed under a civilian work place. That still leaves a high proportion of up-timers in the active military.

Those classified as “active adults” were 19-64 as of June 1631 PLUS the June 1631-June 1634 high school graduates, who are italicized. The names of individuals who were “65 and over” as of RoF are underlined when they appear in work places. Those persons who have aged into the “over 65" category after the RoF are not underlined, but the year of birth is underlined.

“18 and under” as of the end of calendar year 1634 (NOT as of the date of RoF) do not have separate entries as “available adults” but rather are listed under a parent (the mother if she is present in GV; the father if not). Most of the older teenagers would be working part time, summers, etc., whether for their own families or elsewhere, but these jobs will be so fluctuating that it isn’t practical to try to track them on the grid.

For persons deceased by the autumn of 1633, see the end of the grid – two sections, one for “under 65" with a bit of information and for the “over 65" mostly just the labels from the probate dockets 1631-1633; a second section with “Deceased” provides more detail for those who died in the period from September 1633-December 1634.
