A correction to Madeline Anderson's biography: Madeline's father was indeed John Andrew Orlowski, born in New Zealand to Polish parents, August and Francizka Orlowski in 1880. But Madeline's mother's name was not Jane Anderson, but Jane Robinson, also born in New Zealand (1871), to a Scottish mother, Madeline nee Mckenzie and an English father, Robert Robinson.

Accounts of Madeline's 111th birthday can be read in Wairarapa Times Age, 2 May 2018 or Sunday Star Times (Herald), 6 May 2018, both New Zealand newspapers. There are two stories about her in www.dailyencourager.co.nz, but a more comprehensive story of her life can be found in www.polishhistorynewzealand.org/madeline-orlowski-anderson/  Actually Orlowski is her maiden name. Her middle name is McKenzie after her Scottish grandmother.

Madeline lived on her own until July last year (2017) when she moved in with us in Masterton NZ. Apart from angina and a few minor complaints she is in good health and spirits, still 'with it', and a delight to all her many friends.

Heather List, Madeline's daughter.
