For Ciocan, Noja, Herghelegiu, Lungu, Pînzariu, Anonymous of Bucharest*, Ianchici, Banu and Bistriceanu 13 days should be added to the listed birthdays, right? Rus, Vețian and Székely were born in Austria-Hungary, so theirs should be correct (=already in the Gregorian calendar).

*: could have been born in in Austria-Hungary so not sure about her.

Paladia Noja was born in Alba, Austria-Hungary, so her date of birth should not be changed.

Ana Ianchici was born in Bessarabia. I don't know what calendar was used there.

As for the others, that's right, but considering that they are among the last Romanians born before 1 April 1919 (when Romania adopted the Gregorian calendar), I will not change their date of birth. It would be chaos if I changed the date of birth for almost everyone.

Today Ilie Ciocan of Vâlcea ties Dumitru Comanescu at 111 y., 219 d. as the oldest validated romanian person ever.
Congratulations.

Congratulations to Mr Ciocan.

its highly unusual to find a country where the two oldest people of all time are both male.

In this photo Mr. Ciocan looks pleasingly good. Fine to see him nicely dressed and sitting. I like it.
