Over 10 million connected in the 1900s

Question

On WikiTree+, the query "connected 1900s" as of today yields the following result

Found: 10009656 profiles for connected 1900s

Over 10 million ... and certainly there are more than this figure, because, according to WT+ Help page, the query retrieves the profiles with birth and death date, that were alive between years 1900 to 1909.

If I read this correctly, are not included the profiles with a birth date between 1900 and 1909, but with no death date, or a death date between 1900 and 1909, but no birth date, and many more born a few years before 1900 but w/o death date, or dead a few years after 1910, but with no birth date.

I can't figure how many profiles are thus missing, but we can say with good confidence that more than one out of three connected profiles was alive in the years 1900s.

[edited] actually the most connected decade is the 1910s :

Found: 10167648 profiles for connected 1910s

Answer 1

What interesting statistics, Bernard. I never thought about the most connected decade, but I'm always interested in looking at WikiTree accomplishments from different perspectives. I'm happy to know that my Dad is one of the connected profiles in the most connected decade.  

Answer 2

1900s finds all profiles that were alive in the decade. For profiles without both dates, only the ones with the entered date in the decade are found.

Missing are the profiles with birth/death date before/after 1900s but the missing date is on the other side of the decade.

Thanks Aleš for making that point clear.
