Hi

I’m trying to find out whether Kirsten Schwalbe and her brother Bertel Hansen might be among the oldest living siblings in the world. Do you know of any other siblings whose combined ages exceed theirs?

Kirsten is currently 111 years old (born 10 March 1914) and Bertel is 103 (born 28 October 1921).

I’m aware of the Mexican siblings Lorenzo and María, but I would love to hear about any other examples with a combined age as high — or higher.

I’m a journalist in Denmark and visited Kirsten and Bertel two years ago — both are still going strong:

Kirsten especially is doing remarkably well:

Best regards

Welcome to the forum, @frederikhelms! I'll check with my contacts to see if they're aware of any oldest living sibling pairs.

They lives in Bressanone, Trentino-Alto Adige Region at 102 y.o.
