Thanks, ChrisR. I think you may have forgotten about Koto Okubo (who was never the World's Oldest Living Person because of Mr Kimura's lifespan).

Thanks, ChrisR. I think you may have forgotten about Koto Okubo (who was never the World's Oldest Living Person because of Mr Kimura's lifespan).

Antonia Gerena Rivera is also missing.

Hi Marco and Heatwave and thank you for pointing these out.

They are bad errors on my part to be fair, because both are well known.

i note they are missing from the 113+ list as well so not sure how that happened. I shall fix them in the weekend.

Corrected list now posted.

None of the rankings change - as I managed to hide the rows containing Koto Okubo and Antonia Rivera, rather than forgetting to include them.

Hi Chris, small corrections:

Bessie Hendricks
Venere Pizzinato
Faustina Puppo
Cecile Klein 90

thank you!

Thanks very much Ale

I will sort these out and correct them.

It appears that Cecile Klein can sit at 89= rather than 90 as she seems to be the same age as Faustina Pupo in days at 41851 - though in calendar terms she appears 1 day younger.

But if there is a preferred other protocol here I'm happy to put her in outright 90th position.

Updated list of 100 verified oldest women as at 30 September 2022.

None deceased and no new entrants since the 15 Sept list.

Updated list of 100 Verified Oldest Women.

No one has passed away and no additions since 30 Sep.

I have updated this list to try and include all claims that are true, or very likely to be, as of 25 November 2022. I have included men and added an addendum to make the 100 Oldest Women list. Please tell me of any corrections, anyone who needs adding/removing etc.

@heatwave116 great list. I would put Sadie Caver and Anitica Butariu as plausible at best. Trinididad Iglesias-Jordan's earliest document (civil registration) supports 1 Sept 1889 so I don't know why she is validated by LAS as being a day older. @Seto2001?

Also, Katie Hatton?

That's a great list! I think it looks great to me!

@930310 I wouldn't have put Anitica there at all. It would have been similar than adding Francisca Simao. The fact Anitica was deaf, couldn't communicate even in sign language, never learned how to read and wrote, didn't have any known family member and had a copy of the original record, makes her case very typical in what an identity swapping would have been like. She couldn't even say her own identity, and her ID card, who's a supposed ''mid-life record'' according to Robert Young (who is super confident of her just because she is romanian), it was made after she went to her nursing home.

@coyote77 I don't disagree with you.

In my mind, her claim isn't any different from Jose Uriel Delgado (1900?-2021) of Costa Rica, since the circumstances surrounding their cases were very similar. Both were unable to give information on their life to their nursing homes, so they were paired with "matching" birth records based on minimal information in order to create ID cards for them. 

Though I've been supporting towards Butariu for years, I'd now also say her case is too dubious to appear on this – otherwise very nice – list.

Though I've been supporting towards Butariu for years, I'd now also say her case is too dubious to appear on this – otherwise very nice – list.

I think that what would really clarify things is if someone asked Dr. Arsenie how the birth record was matched with the woman who entered the nursing home. If it was common knowledge before she entered that she was the daughter of so-and-so, or if they asked another family member who she was, or if they asked her in writing and she responded, that would strengthen the case for her being the woman born in 1882. But if it was just guesswork, that significantly weakens the case.

Update as of 27 Dec 2022 (RIP Kahoru Furuya, added Tomiko Itooka and Katie Hatton, removed Anitica Butariu)

100 Oldest Verified Women as at 31 December 2022.

Being verified only, the entry point at that date is 114-194.

As I've not done this list for a couple of months, new entrants from last time include Tomiko Itooka (114-222), Inah Canabarro Lucas (114-206), Hazel Plummer 114-195 and Kimiko Ono 114-194.

If there are any issues please let me know. 

Updating my lists today, there's something I'm not getting: both Shigeyo Nakachi and María Branyas Morera currently stand at 115y 345d, but María Branyas Morera has lived one more day (42,349 vs 42,348). Yet, as far as I can tell, they both had 29 Feb 1908 as their first leap day, and 29 Feb 2020 as their last (for the time being). What am I not seeing?

PS - is it because Mrs Nakachi died before 1 Mar 2021, so within one year of the leap day?

@marco It's to do with the placement of the leap years. Shigeyo Nakachi lived 345 days after her 115th birthday, but had a leap year within those 345 days. Maria Branyas has lived 345 days after her 115th birthday, but all her leap years were contained within her 115 years. So, effectively, Maria's 115 years was more than Shigeyo's 115 years, and they both got to 345 days after this.

@ell Thanks, confirms my PS. 🙃
