This means that there's a woman in Hungary (a successful businesswoman, by the way), whose grandparents lived to the ages of 107, 102, 94, 105 (still living), her maternal great-grandmother to 108 – and had an OLM and an OLP ancestor, who were unrelated.

Sensationel! The average is already over 100.

210+ father-son duos:

Anton Stomsvik (1883-1989); 106 years, 127 days
Ernest A. Stomsvik (1909-2016); 106 years, 338 days
Combined age: 213 years, 100 days

Emil C. Lippmann (1886-1993); 107 years, 172 days
Carl E. Lippmann (1912-2016); 104 years, 71 days
Combined age: 211 years, 243 days

215+ mother-daughter duos:

Kana Yonamine (née Asato) (1895-2004); 109 years, 271 days
Ruth U. Kobashigawa (1917-2024); 107 years, 144 days
Combined age: 217 years, 50 days

I need help with the following one, I can't find a definite proof for Ida Whitlock's (FS, FaG) date of death:

Ida L. Whitlock (née Stevens) (1861-1969?); 108 years, 73 days?
Helen E. Whitlock (1898-2005); 107 years, 262 days
Combined age: 215 years, 335 days?

@024tomi

I found Mrs. Whitlock's entry in the Massachusetts death index, which confirms her death on 9 November 1969. (FS link)

She was registered as being 99 instead of 108, though it could be she lived so long she caused a registration error.

Similarly, Theophilus May is recorded as being 100 instead of 110 on his entry in the Ohio death index.

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere:

Benjamin H. Holcomb (1889-2000); 111 years, 153 days

Leola A. Ford (née Holcomb, formerly Metzger) (1916-2021); 105 years, 149 days

Combined: 216 years, 302 days

This is a top 10 case, according to our current knowledge (given we accept that Bettie was born in April 1884, instead of October):

A few years ago, I couldn't have imagined there would soon be a Hungarian 215+ duo (which is the cutoff age on the GW page). Congratulations to them! 🌺 

This doesn't reach any cutoff, but I found this family impressive (father and two daughters):

Eugene Plummer (9 Aug 1894 - 12 Mar 1997) - 102 years, 215 days

Lorraine Scott (19 May 1918 - 27 Jul 2026) - 108 years, 69 days

Zenobia Shields (25 Aug 1920 - 19 Jun 2024) - 103 years, 298 days

The father Eugene Plummer claimed to have been born in 1885 in the SSDI, but early life records support August 1894.

I think we don´t have an own section for the combined live span of two parents and children?

And a sad news: Rosanna Toth (b. 25 October 1919), daughter of Catherine Hagel (1894-2008), passed away on 8 October 2026, at the age of 106 years, 348 days.

May she rest in peace.

Final combined age: 220 years, 356 days (11th-oldest known parent-child lifespan ever).

Paca Riudavets Jordi, the daughter of Joan Riudavets Moll, has turned 102: https://www.menorca.info/menorca/local/2026/10/11/2727105/paca-riudavets-hija-del-fue-abuelo-del-mundo-cumple-102-anos.html

She is the second daughter of Joan to reach this age, as his daughter Joana (1920 - 2023) also did so.

Della Armstrong (née Shannon) (? January 1851 - 14 June 1951); 100 years, ??? days (claimed to be 121!!!! But her 1870 census listing records her as 19. The 1900 census says she was born in January. Can't find a birth*day* for her anywhere).

Ben Garner (10 August 1873 - 25 June 1984); 110 years, 320 days (the 1880 census lists his age as 12, but he's not in the 1870 census)

So...211 years and some number of days. Possibly an unknowable number. But, it was amusing to look at newspaper articles of Garner as a centenarian, see them say his mother supposedly lived to be 121, and then go back to 1951 newspapers and find her obituary confirming that yes, she did ih fact make that claim, and Ben is mentioned in the obituaries as a surviving son!

Supercentenarian Nettie Whittington (1899-2013) was survived by her 90-year-old daughter Flossie Davis. She celebrated her 100th birthday in 2023 and by all indications is still alive at age 103 this year (last alive confirmation I can locate is September 2024). Combined age 216y, 44d and counting.

It's worth mentioning that his first marriage was in 1891, so he was definitely a semi-supercentenarian at minimum. Also, Ben's daughter Eugenia Garner (26 Dec 1896 - 16 Sept 1997) lived to be 100 years and 264 days old.

If Ben was born in 1873, then their combined ages are 211 years and 219 days.

Oh, I think he was a supercentenarian, I have him as such in my files.
