Because of my calling I see some ages in the directory of lds tools. Some households display both ages of parents but some show one parents age or the other but not both. What is the differentiating factor? I can't see anything in settings.

What is your calling/s? Knowing that makes it a lot easier to give you the answer. Also which operating system? Android/iOS etc.

First off, the age can't be displayed if there is no birthdate - that is, the parent is a non-member. The same might apply to out-of-unit records - however, I don't think they'd show in the directory.

Otherwise, I'm just guessing. Is there some kind of threshold where the age no longer shows once they are over a certain age?

I noticed that I was seeing ages in lds tools that some people had ages while others didn't. I couldn't see the pattern so one of the clerks posted the question in the forums, Iwas signed in because I was looking at something else. A minute later I checked the list in LCR and realized that the listings with one parent or the other showing ages were in fact part member families, we have many in our ward.

Part member families are not as clearly indicated in LDS tools as they are in LCR
