The oldest and youngest person in your family

[MANT!]

Oldest in my family is my dad at 75...youngest is my 1 year old nephew..oldest I ever met was my great grandfather..he was 101 years old and outlived my grandfather by 6 years.. my dad is trying to beat that record...

Mom in her early 70s is probably the oldest, going back as far as relatives descended from each great-grandparent. There is a chance that one of her cousins is the eldest, if she is still alive. I've never met the woman nor do I know her married name, so there is no way of knowing. The cousin was born in 1929. If I go back to descendants of great, great grandparents, there may be one or two still rattling around, but I don't know. With my grandma gone, it's harder to keep track of the distant cousins.

Youngest is even tougher. I have over 20 first cousins. Some of them now have grown kids. I can't keep track anymore of who has had a baby. I have at least a dozen or more cousins/second cousins who may have babies/toddlers. Ask me later this spring and it'll be easy as my niece is pregnant. She is the one who has the youngest one of whom I know. But odds are, a cousin has one still younger.

Not a very satisfactory response, but that's what happens with large extended families.

My mother at 89 is the eldest (though I'm not sure I'd call her the oldest)

My son at 12 is the youngest.
