Oldest person to live in your family?

[bullfrog1995]

I thought it would be fun for all of us to share who our oldest known relative or ancestor was when they died.

Mine was my great-great-aunt Rose. She lived to be 100 years old! Although, my grandmother remembers hearing about a story about an ancestor, claiming that they lived to be 108 years old. But for now, Rose takes the cake!

Who was your oldest living relative?

My oldest was my G/Grandmother who died aged 99yrs 9months. On the same line my

 GG/Grandmother died aged 98yrs and my GGG/Grandmother 97yrs.

My paternal grandmother died in 1982, aged 97. Well, that's what we thought, but I now know she was actually 98 -  she'd "lost" a year, as she was born 3 months after her parents married.

Don't have a proven centenarian, but my mother was 99years and 3 months, her older sister 98 years and 11 months. There are many of her relatives in the Cambridge area who have lived into their late 90s.

My 5X great uncle lived to be 93--he was born in 1762 and died in 1855! 

(Now when my father tells me he's past his sell by (at the age of 80) I point out that his ggg grandfather was 80 when he died in 1824, his gg grandfather was 83 when he died in 1854, and his grandfather was 92 when he died in 1968!  With the wonders of modern medicine, my father could live to be 120!)
