Play this week's Centenarians Connection Checkers game!

Question

To honor the long and interesting life of recently-deceased former US President Jimmy Carter, this week's Connection Checkers game features centenarians (lived to be 100+ years old) and supercentenarians (lived to be 110+). 

To play, first see which of these notable centenarians is your closest family connection: 

• US President Jimmy Carter, 100 years.
• Unity Langford Bainbridge, 101 years, Canadian artist and poet whose work was inspired by the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Coast and its landscape.
• Sadie Delany, 109 years, Civil Rights advocate and first African-American permitted to teach domestic science at the high school level in New York. Her sister, Alice, lived to 104, as well!
• Henry Francisco, 134 years?, reportedly one of the longest lived people in the last few hundred years. There's some dispute as to his actual age, but evidence seems to point to him being as old as he claimed to be!
• Honorable Liz Kirkby, 103 years and counting, British Australian retired politician and entertainer.
• Inge Lehmann, 104 years, Danish seismologist and geophysicist.
• Dame Vera Lynn, 103 years, entertainer known as the "Forces Sweetheart."
• Col. Sam McLaughlin, 100 years, influential Canadian businessman and philanthropist. He, along with his brother and father, established the McLaughlin Motor Car Co. in 1904, one of the first major automobile manufacturers in Canada, which evolved into General Motors of Canada.
• Princess Mikasa-no-miya Yuriko, 101 years, member of the Imperial House of Japan.
• Brenda Milner, 106 years and counting, neuroscientist whose extensive research has advanced the understanding of brain functions.
• Sir Moses Montefiore, 100 years, British financier, activist, philanthropist and Sheriff of London.
• Johan Wilhelm van Hulst, 107 years, Dutch rescuer of children during the Holocaust; named Righteous Among Nations.

Second, attempt to verify your connection to one of them. In seven days (January 7), three players will be declared the winners and entered in the Connection Checkers Hall of Fame:

1. The player who has the shortest verified path to one of the connections.
2. The player who has the longest verified path to one of the connections.
3. The player who verifies the most individual connection steps for themselves and by helping others. [current scores]

Please join us, even if you don't know where to begin. Start by simply posting an answer below saying which connection you'll try to verify. Then post updates as comments on your answer. If you get stuck, ask a question and others may be able to help. [more information]

P.S. Help us with our Born in '25 feature for next week.

Hi Kari. Unfortunately, our connection database is stuck in the middle of last week's features and this week's. You might want to hold off on confirming these connections. It should resolve within an hour.

... it's now finished updating. By the way, congratulations on consistently winning Most Steps Verified!

Here is a 19-degree path from Jimmy Carter to me, through Rosalynn. Three steps rely on a secondary source. (There are three 18-degree paths that are very likely correct, but the needed South Carolina vital records prior to 1850 either don't exist or cannot be accessed through FamilySearch and Ancestry.)

Answer 3

Jimmy Carter - 14 degrees - he was my 8th cousin once removed. We had family from the Plains, Georgia, area that were invited to his inauguration and parties that stayed with us for a couple of days. They had, unfortunately, made reservations at a hotel close to the White House putting them right in the "red light district." Will try and verify either shortest and/or direct relationship.

Note 1: No matter how I try to get everyone verified, there is always 1 person that messes it all up. All the others are verified.

Note 2: Decided to go the direct relationship route as all of those were either already verfied or had sources verifying the relationship. This took it to 19 degrees.

2. William Carter (his father)

Answer 9

Interesting people. 1 centurion you missed was George Burns. Could we just add him the next time this comes up?

Answer 10

I am 21 degrees from Jimmy Carter, 26 degrees from Unity Brewster, 29 degrees from Sarah Delany, 18 degrees from Hendrick Francisco, 32 degrees from Vera Welch, 29 degrees from Elisabeth Kirkby, 29 degrees from Inge Lehmann, 23 degrees from Sam McLaughlin, 24 degrees from 崇仁親王妃百合子 三笠宮, 30 degrees from Brenda Milner, 23 degrees from Moses Montefiore and 24 degrees from Johan van Hulst. 

My great-grandmother was 101 when she passed away in 2001. Being born in 1899, she legitimately lived in three different centuries. Her mind was still incredibly sharp, but her body gave out...

Comments

I got bogged down on my chosen connection with my great-great-grandmother's profile. The great-grandmother mentioned in the previous comment never said anything about her, and most of those who would have known her passed away years ago.

Nevertheless, this is an interesting challenge, and one I hope to continue to participate in.

Answer 11

Thanks for making this an interesting international list!

Answer 12

17 degrees from President Jimmy Carter - 2 branches (14-4) 18th cousin 4x removed

Answer 15

So sad to lose Jimmy Carter!  And he is not my closest connection, but I will be verifying his and Francisco, who's at 12, and perhaps Sam McLaughlin, who is also at 17.

Centenarian Connections: 

Loretta is 17 degrees from Jimmy Carter, Jimmy and Loretta are 8th cousins

James Earl Carter Jr. (1924-2024) and Loretta Buckner are both descendants of Susannah (Waters) Terrell (abt.1663-abt.1725).  (This connection is the only iffy one - not a lot of documentation on Susannah Waters.)

23 degrees from Unity Brewster, 

25 degrees from Sarah Delany, 

12 degrees from Hendrick Francisco, (not a blood relationship, but through his daughter's marriage to Elisha Arnold.)  All connections verified.

Elisha and Loretta are first cousins 7 times removed

29 degrees from Vera Welch, 

24 degrees from Elisabeth Kirkby, 

27 degrees from Inge Lehmann, 

17 degrees from Sam McLaughlin, 

22 degrees from 崇仁親王妃百合子 三笠宮, 

27 degrees from Brenda Milner, 

22 degrees from Moses Montefiore and 23 degrees from Johan van Hulst on our single family tree.

Comments

No blood relationship with Sam, either, but his wife's a cousin: Adelaide and Loretta are 9th cousins three times removed

Answer 16

Interesting people. The following two will be who I will work on. They verify at this point, but do need work on the profiles, which I am off to do.

Johan Van Hulst Fails I can't find Antonie Van Zee

Moses Montefiore SUCCESS!

Brenda Milner fails at John Dean. The wrong Elizabeth Dean is connected (He would have been 12 when she was born).
Hendrick Francisco fails at Sarah Griffin, the wrong Mary Margaret Griffin has been assigned as her sister.

Sam McLaughlan SUCCESS

That's enough for today.
