Maurice Butty was born in Switzerland.

Also, is his birth date 20 or 21 October? I've seen both.

@heatwave116 Fixed, thanks!

Last confirmation alive:
Jaume Sole Puig 08.11.2022 (actually died 22.01.2023!)
Luis G. Carrasco-Muñoz Pérez de la Isla 17.02.2023

Ilie Ciocan has been validated by the GRG.

Also I see the confusion I had now. Romania switched calendars. According to the Julian calendar he was born on 28 May but according to the Gregorian calendar he was born on 10 June.

Recent video of Mateo Balbuena, vice-doyen of Spain. He still can walk at 110:

Mr Giannini stays second, despite the apparent efforts of some online trolls recently.

These trolls started the lie about Fusa Tatsumi's death, soon after she died, and now the same thing has happened to Tripolino Giannini
This is very sad, and very curious

Would the Danish Jens Peter Westergaard born on 26 Apr 1914 be the new top ten?
