(+) Yeah! (+)

any make it to 99, or 100? r.i.p.

maybe somewhere in their 70s, as far as I know.

I don't know anything about my family before my grandparents, and with the exception of one, my grandparents died during a genocide, so I'm not sure about the average lifespan of anyone in my family.

and right now, my uncle is the only person in the family who's in his 70s, but we're related through marriage.

106

She was also James Earl Jones teacher back in the day.I like to joke that she trained a Sith Lord.

I think my great uncle Lou was 102 when he kicked. I have a few memories of him walking and being human, but most of them are him just being a drippy nosed old bag of bones.

92 that I'm aware of.

My great grandmother lived to 103. She was still driving herself to church in her 90's lol.

lot of the women routinely get into their 90s with decent quality of life. no one has hit 100 yet tho

so far 50 for my dad. my grandfather is in his late 80's.

I believe my great grandpa made it to 91

Most of my family members have passed in the late 70s or 80s

73, I think. Everyone else has died in their 50s or early 60s.

My grandma died recently at 96.

Great grandfather was 96 when he passed. My great grandmother is either 96 or 97 now, I honestly don't know.

I'm curious to see which set of genetics win out because my mom's side almost all lives to 85+ where as my dad's side, all the men seem to drop by 72, even if they seem healthy and active.

98 but she was suffering from full Alzheimer's when she passed.

My great grandmother made it to 94. She was a completely clean liver too.

I have a great aunt somewhere in England in her 90's

93 I think

My grandma is 103 but has been pretty gone mentally for over a decade.

for men, my grandpa died at 90 last year from infection. he was as sharp as can be mentally.

Great grandmother lived to be 103 and she was also a teacher. It was a single room schoolhouse in rural Virginia. Like some Little House on the Prairie shit.

My great grandma (my mom's grandma) lived to 101

Could be. Women didn't have a lot of options back then as far as employment goes. I'm talking the 20s-50s. She was born in 1895.

I went through my family tree earlier this year and I had a great great aunt that lived to be 102

92 or 93

Eh,

Oldest I'm aware of was 101.

My grandfather died when he was 94

Oldest one that I'm aware of is my grandpa. Currently 86 and still ticking.

Great grandmother 93-94 and her son my grandfather made it to 98.

I remember her gravestone said 1899 as when she was born and that blow my 12 year old mind

One of my Great-grandparents made it to 96.

Great granny made either close to, or slightly over, 100. No one's really sure.

Great aunt I dont think I ever met lived to be 106-107.

Great grandma does a few weeks short of 103 but that was due to her taking a fall because of an assisted living home employees incompetence - she easily couldve broken 105 otherwise imo

My great-grandma is 96

My maternal grandfather made it 88
