I'm trying to establish whether my Dad and his brother might be the oldest living male twins in Ireland? They were born in Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland on 13 January, 1929.
What's on your mind?

I hope it happens because I wasn’t alive when Jeanne Calment was. Let’s keep watch to see if she does break the record!
She turns 107 on March 25 and seems to be in pretty good health. Do you think she should have a page on here?
When I was a boy, my grandma showed me a newspaper article on her grandma who was the oldest living person in her state, which I think is Zacatecas, Mexico. I'm trying to find that article, but it's not easy. Or anything about this woman. Does anyone have suggestions?
Through Ancestry.com search features, I found one centenarian who is part of my tree who lived to be 110. Her name was Tereza Valdez( Became Mendez when married to Juan Mendez). Her son's (Jacinito) marriage record fortunately mentions that his father died but his mother, Tereza, who is 110 is still alive. That was in the year 1944.
Jeanne Calment was 61 years, 2 months and 22 days old on May 13, 1936 and died on August 4, 1997, 61 years, 2 months and 22 days later
1st half of Jeanne Calment's life (February 21, 1875-May 13, 1936): 61 years, 2 months and 22 days
2nd half of Jeanne Calment's life (May 13, 1936-August 4, 1997): 61 years, 2 months and 22 days
However i don't know in what year he was born or in what year he died. But i do know he's a paternal great-great-great-grandfather of mine because he's my father's great-great-grandfather
My uncle, George Feldman, died on his 112th birthday, on December 2, 2018. He is currently uncertified/unvalidated
. I have his original birth certificate. Is this enough to prove his date of birth and the validity of his age
Inspired by Arthur De Moares Silva Barbosa who made a Portuguese/Brazilian version of this wiki, I have created Gerontologie wiki, and version of this wiki for those who speak German. I have made 10 articles including ones on the oldest people ever, the oldest Germans ever, Jeanne Calment, Jiroemon Kimura and more. I took two years of German in middle school so I was able to get some things but if anybody speaks at least “ein bischen Deutsch” or knows somebody that does I would love to talk to them. I once saw Robert talking about trying to get this wiki in other languages. Even if you don’t speak German, I would love to hear advice from people like Robert, Frankland, Waclaw, Arthur, Richard, Matreas, Blaz, Ollie, Stefan and other experienced users.

Greetings, I plan to add chronological lists of oldest living people from Japanese Prefectures - basically to translate information from the Japanese's "Data Collection Site". I just started a list for Aichi, but before I continue I would like to hear other opinions - should we also include their native names (in Japanese) below their English names (with a small font), just in case a name is not correctly translated. We are adding their native names to their articles, so it wouldn't be anything strange.
I think that it might be good to make a new infobox for nonogenerans because there is not one. Also, it would be good to make an infobox for limbo cases and one for living longevity myths as there is only one for deceased longevity myths and there are several living ones.
I didn't have enough space so I'll write it here. He'll surpass Jiroemon Kimura to become the longest-lived man ever. Jiroemon Kimura was 116 years, 1 month and 24 days old when he died and Saturnino de la Fuente will be 116 years, 1 month and 25 days old on that day

Hello! There's a case of Mr. Goldberg in this article:
https://gerontology.wikia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_people_with_COVID-19
The source says he was 106 y.o. with no birth or death dates. So his case is marked as incomplete.
This source contains the dates :
Could someone edit the article (I can't), or this source is bad?
Thanks
Immsorey 5his is really off topic but it's really important. My dad blocked all contact to my girlfriend due to homophobia. Please someone message motorbabey on twitter and send her the link to this website

No one lives forever. 122 years is like the longest life - and like, nobody remembers her. So how will anyone remember us? Will we all be forgotten? Probably , honestly. Why do we even exist? What’s the point of our experiences? What reason do you have to be eating at that buffet, when some people are starving? Are you better than they are? Nope. I think Christianity is the answer to all this.
If you have an eternal soul that is recompensed for all your suffering, then it makes sense. Otherwise life is an unjust, unfair, pointless, procession towards the grave - for everyone.
Greetings,
When it comes to dates of birth and death, we have different systems. US records tend to be month-day-year. European records tend to be day-month-year.
I think both systems should be replaced with year-month-day.
There are two reasons for this:
Logic. A year is the largest unit; then the month; then the day.
Microsoft sort filters only work properly with year-month-day.
In the long run, it will help everyone if we transition to a system that is logical and universal.
