This page is my attempt
to log geneology including birth, age at birth of *righteous son* (the
sons that walked with God), and their death dates, ending in a total year
from zero. Also, I will also add notes where applicable below the table.
These accounts, from Adam through Noah's flood, can be found within Genesis
1:26 - 9:29.

Confirmation that TOTAL years is 1556
(Noah @ 500) + 450 (remaining life after begat) = 2006 (dies).
I arrive at the final Year of Death by adding the age of death to the previous
mens' begat ages.
Not including the 100 years for Noah's age at time of the flood, the year
at his begatting Shem is 1556,
which I'll carry over to the next set of generations of Noah to Abraham.
Enoch never died, the Bible says "... and he was not, for God took him"
(Gen 5:24)! Enoch was one of only
two men that God *took* (they never died, they went directly to heaven),
the other was Elijah (2 Kings 2:11)!
Methusaleh is said to have died seven days before the flood! Note NONE
of the patriachs
were alive at the time of the flood, all died before 1656, except Noah
(and his family). Methusaleh lived
long enough to bury all the partriachs before him, including Adam,
Methuselah would have been 243 years old when Adam died,
which I figured out because the year 874 Methuselah was 187, Adam died
in the year 930;
year 930 - 874 for a difference of 56 + 187 = 243 years old!
Noah was 480 when told of the flood to come (Gen 6:3), I derive his age
not because it's mentioned
but because the Bible says he was 600 when the flood started (Gen 6:6)
and that God said
'his {mankind's} days shall be 120 years' (Gen 6:3). This also leads
me to believe that
it took Noah and his family 120 years to build the ark (if Noah was 480
and it took 120 years
to build the ark, that would put him at 600 when it was completed and the
flood started).
Noah is 500 when he begets his three sons (Gen 5:32), all are born before
the flood.
As stated, Noah is 600 when the flood begins (Gen 6:6),
the year is now 1656 from creation.
Noah was 601 when "the surface of the ground was dried up" (Gen 8:13).
Noah lives 350 years after the flood as noted (Gen 9:28).
Noah dies at 950 (Gen 9:30) the year from creation is now 2006, which
is NOT parallel
to our own modern 2006 ... since our 2006 years began sometime after
Jesus' death.
The Hebrew/Jewish calendar year equating to our current year is 5767,
so as you
can see, I have 3761 years (+/-) to account for yet!

There's a total of 10 generations recorded from Adam to Noah
We've left off in time at year 1556, from creation.
