  Under **Administer > Customize Data and Screens > Date Preferences** you can adjust various date settings. In this case it's a little unclear but rather than changing the "Birth and deceased dates" setting you need to adjust the "searchDate" setting which is "Used in search forms and for relationships."
  
  The "Start offset" value is the number of years prior to today that should be allowed in the datepicker.
