Good question purpleverna, I just hate that The Guinness Book of World Records wouldn't give her the record because her family couldn't produce a birth certificate. Thumbs Up for you.

How can she come up with a birth certificate, being a SLAVE back in those days, her MASTER must have misplaced it.

Are you a U.S. citizen? veteran01?

I really don't give a crap how old she is I just answered the question for the lady why you want to start with me?

Find someone else to argue with.

Why Spaceghost? Just because she claims she is 119 years old, I think they made the right decision in not giving her the record. U have to have proof!

Yes and what does that have to do with it? So in your opinion if say someone is 100 years old but claims to be in this case 119 then she should be believed, get real!
