Congrats to these 3 women! Welcome to the 113+ club!

Nice to see LQ kicking off! 😀 

On a side note, does this mean we will no longer see new validations coming from the GRG and from LAS?

@marco I think GRG will continue its validations 113.75+ (living) and 110+ (deceased) with its slow validation rate.

As one of the few groups who ensured the validation process survived in recent years, I hope LAS keeps its identity and achieves full recognition for its validations.

LQ has just announced another validation:

Ushi Makishi, JPN, 113, b. 15 February 1909.

Merle O'Hara (JAM/CAN) (b. 20 February 1912), 110 yrs, 330 days validated by LQ on 16 January 2023.

Pearl Berg (USA) (b. 1 October 1909), 113 yrs, 109 days, validated by LQ on 17 or 18 January 2023.
Sylvia Gumberg (USA) (born 2 December 1910), 112 yrs, 47 days, validated by LQ on 17 or 18 January 2023.
Ira Jarvis (BRB/USA) (26 Sept 1912-12 Jan 2023), 110 yrs, 108 days, validated by LQ on 17 or 18 January 2023.

Herlda Senhouse (USA) (b. 28 February 1911), 111 yrs, 325 days, validated by LQ on 18 January 2023.

It’s fantastic to see so many validations in 2023 both from LQ and from GRG. As someone who has followed SC’s since Kama Chinen was WOP in 2010, the validation rate reminds me of the “good old days” when an SC was validated on average once every 3 days. No body expects this of course, but it’s nice to see and congratulations to all those doing the hard work. 

I have just a slight niggle which might be premature but I’ll throw it out there to see if anyone knows more. My question is will LQ validate European SC’s? None have been so far albeit it is early days.  Also, will LQ recognise the work of the ESO? Do the two groups collaborate?  Finally, why doesn’t gerontology wiki recognise the work of ESO or for that matter LAS?  Cheers Hoopy

@hoopy the ESO will not collaborate with LQ as is. Promises were made that weren’t kept. Perhaps in the future. The gerontology wiki is mostly run by people affiliated with the GRG.

@930310 Thanks for reply. This must be frustrating for all as we were hopeful LQ would unite all organisations under one unified authority. 😳

Flaviano Cruspero Jubane (PHI) (22 Dec 1909-13 Feb 2020), 110 yrs, 63 days, validated by LQ on 20 January 2023.
Lourdina Conceição Lobo (IND) (8 Dec 1908–3 Nov 2021), 112 yrs, 330 days, validated by LQ on 20 January 2023.

Wow! Nice to see validated Filipino and Indian supercentenarians!!! 🙂

That's awesome! Welcome to the supercentenarian world, India and the Philippines!

Meanwhile, there's been ANOTHER LQ validation, accepted on 20 Jan 2023:

Hazel Skuce, CAN (Manitoba), 110, 7 Feb 1912 - Present.

Okagi Hayashi (JPN) (b. 2 September 1909), 113 yrs, 142 days, validated by LQ on 21 January 2023.

Santos Hildebrando Rivas Garcia (born 17 August 1911) - of El Salvador, validated 22 January 2023.

Santos Hildebrando Rivas Garcia (born 17 August 1911) - of El Salvador, validated 22 January 2023.

This is really cool! 😀  I wonder if this means he is also LAS-validated now. (He had been pending up until today.)

For the record.

Reuben Sinclair (CAN) was born on 5 December 1911, hence as at 23 January 2023 he is 111 years and 49 days.

Alice Irvine (CAN) was born on 5 November 1912, hence as at 23 January 2023 she is 110 years and 79 days.

Ruth Apilado (USA) is advised as having been born on 30 April 1908 and passing away on 15 August 2021.

She is therefore the 402nd 113+ supercentenarian validated by any of the ESO, GRG, LAS and LQ. 

As people may know she achieved reasonable fame in areas over and above her longevity.

Sarah Smith (CAN) (b. 13 December 1912), 110 yrs, 42 days, validated by LQ on 24 January 2023.
