@gabriel_pt Out of curiosity, and given the strong genetic component of longevity, have you ever looked into the descendants of some of these earlier centenarians (namely, those born in the 19th century)? 🤔 (Of course, I understand that you simply may not have had the time and preferred to focus your research elsewhere.)

@mmnmadv91 I only investigated the ancestors of the Portuguese supercentenarians that I obtained documentation to be validated by ESO. Perhaps one day, with more time, I can investigate that 🤔

(Já agora, se quiseres podes falar comigo em privado, e em português, caso tenhas alguma dúvida 😉)

@gabriel_pt Ah, for the family tree reconstruction part of the validation process, I imagine? 🤔 If you'd like, I would be happy to help with any potential investigation in the future (like I said before, I'm not on any paying websites and such, so I only have access to records publicly available online, but that should still be sufficient for, say, any descendants of the centenarians born in the 1860s).

Obrigada!  👍
