0005665: non-historical figures have 1 granite birthdays
Having finally had the time to upgrade to 0.34.05 and start a new fortress, I embarked, and after the second migration wave have a population of 15 dwarves. The starting seven all have the usual, apparently random, dates of birth. However, of the eight migrants that have arrived as of 11 Sandstone 551, six show a birth day of the 1st of Granite (in the years 428, 458, 464, 465, 473 and 477).

I did not experience this with either of my two (failed) fortresses in 0.34.04.

I'm guessing that the two migrants that don't have a 1st of Granite birthday are historical figures as they list parents and grandparents, while the rest only show fortress members and spouses, if married.
This may be related to 0003272, however, I do not know at this time if that is the case (nobody has been at the fort long enough).

I've made the save from right before the second migrant wave available: koboldi.net/dwarffortress/bugged-birthdays.tar.bz2 (102Mb). There are two dwarves (Tobul Mistemdodok and Vobok Ginonfeb) that show the 1 Granite birthday at the point of the save.
No tags attached.

New fortress in a new world, and of my migrants so far, all but two are historical (family back to grand parents, at least) and the two non-historicals both have 1 granite birthdays. This confirms, at least for me, that it is repeatable.

I have started receiving my third migration wave (spring 252) for my first 34.06 fortress and so far, none of my dwarves have a 1 granite birthday. Since I know at least three are non-historical, I think this one may be resolved.

Please reopen this report or PM me on the forums if this problem is still present in 0.34.07+.

Apparently I spoke to soon. I just received my first migrant wave in 34.07 with a brand new world, and all five (starting slow, and in a clay layer) have a 1 granite birthday. I suspect one to be a vampire, as she arrived with a chicken, but not her husband, but none of the rest have more than a spouse listed in relations (year 1051). I will update this note if the next wave is the same.

[edit] darn, she isn't a vamp, unless they eat plump helmets. ;)

[edit2] Just received the second (wimpy) wave. Here are all of my dwarves as of the this point (S7 = starting seven, + female, ^ male, M: <spouse>):

Deduk Ablelshalig ^ 06 Moon 1000 {S7}
Erib Bekomolin + 04 Lime 990 {ELDR} {S7}
Asob Ingishidash + 27 Gran 988 {S7}
Adil Rakustvathez + 15 Lime 995 {S7}
Nomal Arrosingish ^ 18 Fels 988 {S7}
Sazir Ritharadil ^ 16 Slat 986 {S7}
Sazir Logemarel + 11 Mala 982 {S7}
Stinthad Zudenvucar + 01 Gran 981 M: Domas Degelmamot
Domas Degelmamot ^ 01 Gran 980 M: Stinthad Zudenvucar
Kikrost Udillogem + 01 Gran 956 M: Obok Kathilimush (?)
Erush Mokezfikod + 01 Gran 954 M: Rith Mebzuthrisen
Rith Mebzuthrisen ^ 01 Gran 948 M: Erush Mokezfikod
Sakzul Akrultomem + 01 Gran 932
Nil Mebzuthcagith ^ 01 Gran 928 M: Ber Alathostath
Ber Alathostath + 01 Gran 926 M: Nil Mebzuthcagith

None of these appear to be historical, as the only relationships shown are the spouses that are all present (with the exception of Kikrost Udillogem's MIA spouse).

[edit2] Just got a 28 dwarf migrant wave (third wave for the fortress). Other than the Starting Seven, all of my dwarves currently have a birthday of 1 Granite.

Just an update. Finally had time to try 34.10, and I think this still exists, but haven't received enough dwarves to tell for sure yet.

I got a bunch of historical figures in my first 0.34.11 fort, however, that one died (zombies) and I have started a new one. So far, the only dwarves that don't have a 1 Granite birthday are the babies born in the fort and the starting seven.

Here is the info on my current fortress population after just over one year of play. As before, this is Phoebus, linux, with no (other) mods.

Using 0.40.04 it looks like non-historical migrants no longer always have 1 Granite birthdays! So far (21 dwarves) all my dwarves are non-historical since I appear to have selected a (nearly) dead civ: no mountainhomes on the map, no liaison with the first caravan, but the civ screen does show a king and general still.

I say close this one as fixed as part of 0.40. I'm not sure which version it was fixed in, unfortunately, as this is the first 0.40 fort where it stood out as being resolved, but its definitely not an issue any more.
