Mendocino · 2022-06-02T01:03:18Z

This thread will be dedicated to examples of parent-child pairs with a high combined age.To start, here's a case that I just found from New Zealand:Herb Keen (22 December 1916 - living), aged 105: Link to article, with video interviewHis mother, Ethel Keen (13 July 1882 - 14 Apr 1992), lived to the age of 109 years, 276 days. She is currently the 14th-oldest (known) person ever from New Zealand. They have a combined age of over 215 years, which seems to be a record for the country.

@fish You are completely right re: the Thomas Person case, I didn't check the 1860 census match closely enough (it belongs to a different Thomas). I need to stop doing researching at 2AM in the morning!

BTW, has anyone ever mentioned this father-daughter combo here?
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/143950911/thomas_carson_anderson
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/228899882/nancy-self
Thomas Carson Anderson (November 20, 1868-August 5, 1976) and his youngest daughter Nancy Anderson Self (November 8, 1912-June 12, 2021). The father was 107 when he died and the daughter was 108, for a final combined age of over 215 years.
Their family in general had some extraordinary longevity. Four out of five of Nancy's (siblings + half-siblings) lived to age 98+, with two of them living to age 103+. And Nancy's mother lived to age 95.

@musicotic What do you think about the case that I have mentioned here?
