Demography Directions Task I

In this exercise, you will collect data from gravestones located on a graveyard link by clicking on the navigation bar labeled graveyard at the bottom of this page. You will use the data colleted to plot the survivorship curves of two populations.  You should collect approximately 40 individuals born during the 19th Century and 40 individuals born during the 20th Century.  For each individual, you should record the name, gender, year of birth (DOB), and year of death (YOD). You will then enter the data into an Excel Spreadsheet.  Make a hypothesis that compares (predicts) the survivorship between the 19th and 20th Century populations before starting task II.
