How old is the oldest person in your family?

[Red Stranger]

This is a vote of longevity. How old is the oldest person in your family that you're related to by blood? So grandma's sister's husband doesn't count, but grandma's sister counts (unless there's inbreeding).

lol, living or dead? By "dead" I mean, the oldest they lived to.

I think the op is referring is the current living.

I have an ucle who is middle 60's,he serve our country in the Korean War.

Well, if passed on, my great-grandmother was 88 or 91...I don't remember which. My maternal grandparents have both passed on, grandmother was 73, grandfather was 64. Then again, they had a tough life...World War II, Nazi imprisonment, etc.

If you mean oldest living that I know about, then it'd be my mother, who is 59.

How do I answer this?

Doh, well my father's mother is still around, even if we don't speak. I would imagine she's past 70. She'd have to be...my father's 57.

I guess it depends on what defines "related to", but I voted for my great great uncle, who I believe is a blood relation and had his 100th birthday a few years ago. There is most definitely blood relations of mine in the 90-99 age range. It is a rarity for someone on my mother's side of the family to die before the age of 80.

My Great Grandmother just turned 95 just this past week.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

My grandmother is 90

My grandpa is 85 I do believe. Soon to be 86. Last living grandparent.

My Indian grandfather who died back in 1988 was, 88 years old when he died. It’s a shame because I really wish I could’ve met him as an adult. All I have to remember him by is a fading British Imperial passport and a few pictures. My grandparents on my dad’s side of the family are in their 80’s.

 

[Drewcifer]

My mother is 70. My great grandmother lived to be 100.

 

[The Last Conformist]

My oldest living relative would be my paternal grandmother at 81, but my maternal great-grandfather lived to 95.

 

[The Thracian]

One of my Aunties is currently 86 and the oldest living family member. As for overall family living or dead I don't know

 

[Godwynn]

I think my grandmother is in her mid 70's. Her sister lived to be in the high 90's even when she smoked her entire life. I hope I got her longevity in my veins.

 

[Narz]

My dad is 69. All my grandparents and their siblings are gone AFAIK.

 

[Rambuchan]

My grandfather (paternal) is 92, so I voted 90-99. This year he is celebrating his 60th wedding anniversary. But he's off with the fairies these days and has been for a couple of years.

 

[shortguy]

I have a great aunt who's quite old. I don't really know how old, though.

EDIT: No, that's not right. She's my dad's dad's brother's wife. Hmm...as far as ones I can think of now, it would be my uncle at 65-66.

 

[TheBladeRoden]

I'm not related to anyone in my family by blood

 

[funxus]

Don't know about my grandparents siblings, I think there might be one or two around 70, but all my grand parents are dead, so that leaves my aunt, who's 59.

 

[Chieftess]

My aunt and uncle (Italian) are well into their 90s. My German great-aunt is in her mid 80s, but is just starting to decline. My Polish grandparents are in their 80s (my grandfather had a ministroke, and my grandmother just recovered from a massive stroke - gets out of rehab today), and they're still going strong!

 

[Ansar]

80 something.
