Nels Berger

Nels (Nils) Berger (20 October 1885 - 22 September 1996) was a Norwegian-American supercentenarian who is currently pending at the Gerontology Research Group (GRG).

Nels Berger was born on 20 October 1885 in Oeslandet, Norway and moved to the United States at one point in his life. He settled in North Dakota and later moved to the Bethel Lutheran Home, where he passed away on 22 September 1996 at the age of 110 years 338 days.

At the time of his death, he was the oldest living Norwegian-born person, the second oldest Norwegian-born man ever (behind Herman Smith-Johannsen) and the third oldest Norwegian-born person ever (behind Maren Bolette Torp and Herman Smith-Johannsen), but now fifth, as Elisabet Ekenaes and Laura Svehaug have surpassed his age.
