Hello Beaumont! Great job! Congratulations!

I only noticed one error (maybe because it was a case from my country): Maria d'Almeida (1899-2010) is under number 1583 in your list with the name Hélène Cazes. 

It's completely normal to make some mistakes like that, in such a long list that must have taken a long time to complete.

That is an awesome effort Beaumont.

Does the leap year problem impact those who were alive in 1900?

As you may know years ending in 00 are only leap years if the full year is divisible by 400, so 1900 therefore wasn’t.

@gabriel_pt Thank you. Yes It would be more weird if there were no mistakes!

Great effort.

From Ireland, Margaret Linehan (27 Apr 1892 - 18 Feb 2003) and Annie O'Donnell (20 Jun 1894 - 5 Jul 2004) don't appear to be included, and Mary Ellen Geaney's (1886-1996) age is one day out because of the leap day as you said.

@beaumont I noticed Beatrice Jensen is still listed as alive on the list when she actually died in August (and today coincidentally would have been her 111th birthday)

Great effort, Beaumont! I'll have a proper look at it once I have some time. 😊 

This is an incredible effort - nice work!

I've checked 1788-1879 so far. Excellent work, some minor observations:

- Lelia Van Dyke (b. 1862) was African-American.

- Charlotte Pritchett (b. 1875) was of Native American descent.

- Elisa Esnault (b. 1870) was called Elisa Rogard; her maiden name was Esnault.

- Has Anna Bruder's age (b. 1871) been officially debunked yet? Not certain.

- You seem to have missed Florence Tabbert (LQ-validated, see here) of the USA (IL/WI). Born 25 Dec 1878, died 14 Mar 1990, aged 111y 79d.

- For Italian cases, the GRG for some reason included the married names, even though it's Italian custom not to do so. So none of the Italian cases on the ESO website will show married names for Italian supercentenarian women.

Then, I notice there's some smaller inconsistencies between your list and my list, but that's mainly due to me having changed people's DOBs or YOBs based on information from research (such as a birth certificate proving someone was born a week later or earlier, or something similar). I am sure that LQ will revalidate these people's ages in the coming years.

Thank you so much for everyone's kind comments and feedback.

@finbarrc I don't think the Irish cases you mentioned are verified by any of the three organisations I used for this list. I just started the list using these three organisations as a starting point but may expand it to include cases validated by other ones also I'm not sure yet.

@mrcatlord thank you for highlighting that death I hadn't noticed that

@marco thank you for your corrections. I did not know Anna Bruder was in question I can't find that anywhere. I will amend all the Italian names when I get a chance. Also yes I know a lot of cases need revalidation to correct exact dates etc. I will just wait for these to be announced officially before doing so. If I start adding my own corrections in I will lose track of what is official and what is just me changing things haha.

@chrisr Thank you. I am not sure why the error happens but it effects people born before 1900 and after 1900 so I'm unsure.

Great work, congrats Beaumont!

As Marco wrote, for Italian cases, it's Italian custom not to include the married names. 

@Beaumont Congratulations on the incredible work

@beaumont Makes sense with regard to the official corrections! 😉

1880-1889:

1883: Marthe Bellecour should be Marthe Foinon. Yes, she was married to Mr Bellecour, but they divorced and Marthe Foinon began using her maiden name once more.

1884: Nounia Hutin, not Nouria.

1885: Ersilia de Costanzo, not Ersilade.

1886: You've missed Pedro Zorrilla Caballero of Puerto Rico, 24 Apr 1886 - 2 Sept 1997, 111y 131d // You've also missed the revalidation of Denzō Ishizaki (by LQ), establishing he was in fact born on 2 Oct 1886 (and thus eighteen days older).

1888: for 23 March, Joseph Athmann died two days later than Aley LaRue (so they should be in reverse order).

1889: You've missed Marta Herminia Canevaro Luza of Chile, 29 July 1889 - 13 Apr 2001, 111y 258d.

@marco Thank you so much. I've put these corrections in place 🙂

Hi @Beaumont, congratulations for your huge work!

Three SCs are classified as female in your list, but they're actually male: they are Motoi Fukunishi (b. 25 Mar 1910), Ardra V. King (b. 6 Apr 1886) and Bernard Delhom (b. 9 Jul 1885).

Further SCs are classified as female in your list, but they're actually male:

Sorry I have been quiet in responding but thank you so much to everyone for their corrections and additions. I honestly did not expect the level of response and I am very grateful.

In particular @marco your dedication to making sure the list is as accurate as possible is amazing and would like to thank you very much for the hard work and effort you have put into helping me in this task! 🙂

Koto Uemura's (1 Mar 1898) LQ profile page reveals she was born in Miyazaki prefecture.

The updated LQ profile page for Mitsuno Sawada (1 Jan 1912) shows she was born in Shimane prefecture.

This is still not the final version

(There's probably no such thing as a 'final' version 😆)

I've applied the vast majority of the corrections listed earlier in the thread, but haven't got round to correcting the double-barrelled Italian surnames in most earlier cases yet. No list like this will ever be perfect and probably by the time you're looking at it there will already be mistakes, but here it is for what it's worth.

All cases listed verified by at least one of the following: LQ, ESO, OIB, LAS, GRG

@beaumont Amazing! I'm sure the whole community appreciates your hard work!

@beaumont She was Maria Antonia D'Amore  https://gerontology.fandom.com/wiki/Maria_Antonia_D%E2%80%99Amore

not Maria D' Amore. Thank you 🙂

Great job once more, @beaumont! Thanks for the update!
