The death date in the family tree is incorrect, Henry died Spring 12/13. I got engaged so is funeral was moved from Spring 14 to Spring 15. However, in the Family tree is says he died Spring 5.
#Death Date in Family Tree Wrong

Luna McBelle is having the same issue, same death date - Spring 1, even tough she died Spring 14

I'll follow up on this:
I've tested the following only for pre-made NPCs and in normal aging: the dates of birth and death one can see when a character dies are usually wrong. The season and year are fine, but the days into the season are changed, and only range from 1 to 7.
From what I've observed by comparing the stated dates to the ones that are coherent with the character's following milestones, it seems the stated amount of days into the season are modulo 7 what they should be (in a fair amount of cases, plus 1, I guess due to rounding?). If needed, I can provide both sets of dates for the pre-made villagers that don't start out as elders.

This is still a thing. But I noticed its only happening to folks dying in Spring. Luna died Spring 9 (the notice is in this save) but her death day says Spring 1. In a different save, both Henry and Luna's death dates were wrong, but when Temperance and Gigi died in Summer, their dates were correct.
Attached is just Luna Spring 9. Normal aging set.

As a follow up, I think this only affects Spring 1701. Temperance happen to die this save on Spring 20 and her death date is incorrect as well.

**Follow Up: ** Luna McBelle died on the final day she could possibly live. Got the mail Spring 19 1701 and Funeral set to Spring 20 1701. In the family tree tab it states she died Spring 5, which is obviously incorrect. Checking a different save with more of the population, the death dates are only listed between the 1st and the 7th (example: Spring 5) regardless of when they actually died. So there might be something in the date date calculation that is locking the date to only the first 7 days.

So Henry Johns died Summer 2 and the family tree has the correct date of Summer 2. What I did notice was the Luna died on Spring 19, the 5th day of the week, and her death date showed Spring 5. Also the 5th day. So there's a correlation that the death dates only reflect the first week of the season, but the correct season / day of the week.

Using Luna as an example. Luna was born 12331786465. Divide by 86400 (day) puts her at 155 days on Spring 1 1701. If max age is 15120000 (175 days) then that puts her max death date at Spring 19 1701 (which is what happened). That would then put her actual birthdate at Spring 14 1699, which matches the day of the week as Spring 7 1699.

From what I've seen, the save file keeps an accurate record of the characters' date of birth and death, it just doesn't display properly in game. The date shown is usually the remainder of dividing the actual date by 7, but is sometimes one day off.

Yup the numbers on the save file is correct, just the display in the Family tree is wrong.

Turns out I was only giving day of week, not adding the week as well for this and birthdays - will be fixed in the next update

Seconding this issue on switch! I’m keeping track of birth/death dates for my database and the day of the week thing lines up perfectly.
*thirding lol

Thanks so much for the fix to the dates! It's lining up great now.
