Warning: Check the data.

1. A father's death date should not be more than nine months before one of his children's birth dates.
2. A parent should not have been born more than 170 years before one of their children died. This would mean that even if the parent gave birth at 70, the child lived to be over 100.
3. A parent's death date should not be more than 120 years before one of their children died. This would mean the child lived to be over 120.
