OK, Ready for this?
I actually believe the limit is 100.
I also believe you should not try to make one until a certain event happens. When this event does happen, then you make the person mentioned in the event an elder. This will give you 2 elders, believe it or not. You then must wait for the same event to happen to a different villager and do the same thing.
Since there is a limit of 50 that you can make, getting the event is the only way to get more.
For every elder you make without the event, that's one less extra you can earn. If you get 50 elders without ever getting the event, then 51 is impossible.
Any guesses on which event?
