3. Sister Elseliene Fa-Si-Oen (Amsterdam, North Holland) (b. 18 February 1915 in Suriname), 109 y.o.

Out of curiosity: Had she lived for several extra days and thus reached age 110, what race would she have been validated as?

https://www.zzg.nl/tante-es/

She looks black (African-American, in US terms) but apparently her father was from China?

When she was seven, the entire family moved to the Combé district in Paramaribo. Later that year, her father died, who was traveling to his native China at the time.

(Translated with the help of Google Translate.)

Might be a stupid question, but it's still worth asking considering that the GRG, LQ, et cetera still classify SCs by race even nowadays.

In fact, maybe LQ can still validate her as the oldest validated Surinamese-born person ever, even though she just barely failed to reach age 110+?

Elzilene Da-S-Pen entered the list on 6 Mar 2023
North Holland has only 3 names again, the first time since 6 May 2024
North Brabant had its last representative on the list on 6 May 2024

@jimjim00

In this article we can read:

He still takes daily walks outside.

When he was aged 65, he asked his doctor what should he do to stay in shape and the doctor told him to take walks, and that's what he has been doing.

His eyesight and hearing are quite poor these days.

He has been retired for 46 years (so since around 1979).

3rd list in a row with 7 108+ names, the previous one had 8.
Tonny Anonymous is back on the list, meaning South Holland has 5 names again, just like on May 13, 2025, when he was also on the list and was removed from the subsequent list.
Last list with 2 110+ names: May 13, 2025
Last list without 111+ names: April 4, 2025
North Holland once had 5 names on the list, but for the first time, it only has 1.
