Who's the earliest-born person you've ever met?
ย
Here's my list:
Ever - Elderly Neighbor (b. 1901)
In the Family - Great Aunt (b. 1904)
Currently Living - Elderly Neighbor (b. 1925)
My step-grandmother's step-father from Mexico came to visit the family in 2008, for what I believe was his 85th birthday. (I was a child, and only met him once as it was the only time he came to visit during my lifetime) If my memory is correct, he would be the oldest living person I know currently, being born in 1923. He still writes letters to the family.
ย
I also knew other people born in the 1900s & 1910s decade:
- My Great Grandmother (b. 1908)
- My Great Grandfather (b. 1909)
- The grandfather of a friend (b. 1912)
- An elderly man from church (b. 1915)
- A great aunt (b. 1916)
My great grandfather had several sisters that I met during their many trips from Mexico when I was born, but I don't know the years of their birth. The two sisters that he had, that also lived in my country, were the great aunts I mentioned being born in 1904 & 1916.

Most likely the sister of my paternal grandfather (1910-2006). I have many photos with her as a baby/toddler. She would visit us along with other relatives and we would visit her too in her home, but I don't remember much of my interaction with her because I was very little. I remember quite clearly when I was told about her death because it was probably the first time I was coming into contact with the concept of death.

I met my neighbor Serafina P. (1885-1986) for the first time when I was 5 and she was 97.
During my childhood I met several neighbors who were born in the years 1890-1891-1892-1893-1894-1895.
In 1985 I met my great-granny who was born in 1895.
My grandfather was born in 1898 and I live in the same home (he died at 93 when I was 14).
I met Zia Emma Morano who was born in 1899.
I met the brother of Eleonora Nora Casagrande (italian SCs of Sant' Olcese) who was born in 1899.
I met Maria Gravigi who was born in 1900.

We moved to New Zealand when I was 4 years old (at the end of 1966).
We visited my mothers aunt and uncle โNan and Bobโ who were both about 86 at the time, so would have been born circa 1880.
My great grandfather died a few months before I was born and ย I was told he was looking forward to meeting me as the first member of the next generation. So I just missed out on 1873.
