Where did they live? Do you have a link for them?

And Welcome to the GSF, @Polishpower1! Do you live in Poland?

Yes, I live in Poland. I became interested in longevity when Tekla Juniewicz and Stanisław Kowalski, record holders from my country, were still alive. I hope that soon someone from Poland will also get this far. 

Tadeusz Madera was from Rzeszów (Subcarpathia) https://nowiny24.pl/tadeusz-madera-ma-102-lata-jest-najstarszym-czlowiekiem-ktory-uczy-sie-chodzic-w-protezach-zdjecia/ar/c14-14585667     https://www.grobonet.erzeszow.pl/grobonet/start.php?id=detale&idg=10057621

Józef Reszyński was from Prudnik ( Opole Voivodeship ) https://nto.pl/nie-zyje-jeden-z-najstarszych-mieszkancow-opolszczyzny-odszedl-jozef-reszynski-zegnaja-go-kresowianie/ar/c1p2-28619737   https://grobonet.com/p/prudnik/104335/jozef-reszynski-1920-prudnik

Lists updated (thanks @Polishpower1).
Mr. Tadeusz Madera from Rzeszów (Subcarpathia) was Doyen of Poland from August 2024 to 22 May 2025.

Madera is the 37th oldest man in Polish history.
He was the oldest living man in Poland since July 26, 2024 (300 days), the shortest time since Stanisław Pełka, who died on July 17, 2023, after 3 days as the oldest living man in Poland.
He died at 107 years, 354 days, the youngest in that position since Józef Pławski, who died at 107 years, 335 days on April 9, 2017.
He is the second man from Subcarpathia to be the oldest living man in Poland; the previous one was Jan Szarpała, who died on December 11, 1990.

I think that currently only around 60-70% of living men aged 106+ have been discovered. I am trying to find the others.

Zygmunt Janczarski from Podlaskie (06.03.1920–21.07.2026) passed away yesterday. He was the 8th known Polish OLM at the time of his death.
