I visited Morera-Gifu Station today for the first time. A station located in Gifu prefecture, which having the same name as part of her name, Maria Branyas Morera.

And, for the record and information of all fans and researchers (just as Japanese forum and Wikipedia's spirit), provide the important link:
I wonder if she read my birthday message or not.
And Gifu's oldest person ever is currently living (Okagi Hayashi). Are you going to visit the city where she lives?
New photos of María with her favorite dog. The tweet says that the last time she saw the dog was in August, and she thought it would be the last time with the dog. But she is glad to be alive and to spend one more time with the dog.
María looks fantastic in the photos:

What a momentous achievement that Maria has accomplished
I think she may have even been one day older than Delphia at 117-66.
Either way Mrs Branyas Morera is well and truly in the top 10 now and not that far off 9th (health permitting).
Maria Branyas Morera has reached the age of 117 years and 67 days. She is now the 10th-oldest validated person ever! Congratulations to Maria Branyas Morera!
Now all of the people in the top ten oldest ever except for Jeanne Calment, Sarah Knauss, and Marie-Louise Meilleur are consecutive WOPs.
A very interesting statistic Sonicbox.
In terms of consecutive WOPs I note Kama Chinen, Eugenie Blanchard, Ana de Lucas and Maria Valentino all passed away at 114.
From then, all of the next 14 WOPs have made it to 116, apart from Dina Manfredini.
And all of the past 7, have made it to 117.
Marie-Louise Meilleur, Jeanne Calment, and Sarah Knauss were consecutive WOPs of each other. So now all the people in the top ten oldest people ever are in one of two groups of consecutive WOPs.

It's great to know she's still doing well. She is in better health than I would have imagined
Maria Branyas Morera has now surpassed Emma Morano. She has become the eighth-oldest validated person ever, the third oldest European ever, and the oldest non-French European ever.
Might be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway: Any chance of an original birth and/or baptismal record ever being found for her? Since she was born in San Francisco, surely documentation from 1907 from there must exist somewhere, no?
(Not questioning her validation, BTW, in case that wasn't obvious. Just curious about the birth/baptismal record because there's a slight discrepancy over her birth date.)
Translated tweet from 15 August:
Today is the Assumption of Mary, Our Lady of August, feast in many towns and cities.
A few years ago, this date was a meeting day for the whole family to celebrate my saint. Now this is no longer possible and visits and congratulations will be spaced throughout the day. 👇
Sometimes the time marked on the calendar has nothing to do with the mental or emotional time I live inside. Sometimes I feel that I was born in the wrong era, because I have principles that have already been lost and I love values that are now in liquidation. But who cares about that?
As the longed-for Miquel Martí i Pol says in "Pensaments":
"This anxiety of now is also life,
the strangeness of a time that tires without filling;
this is also life to get lost in everything
not knowing very well which way to go"
Topic updated and moved. RIP Ms. Branyas Morera.
