MC CLEMENTS FAMILY LONGEVITY RECORD To calculate the total combined years and days of the deceased parents and surviving children as of August 26, 2025, we'll add: 1. The total age of all eight siblings (693 years and 255 days). 2. The lifespan of the mother (110 years and 270 days). 3. The lifespan of the father (79 years and 251 days). Step 1: Sum the Parents' Lifespans - Mother: 110 years + 270 days - Father: 79 years + 251 days - Total: Years: 110 + 79 = 189 years Days: 270 + 251 = 521 days Convert Days to Years & Days: - 521 days ÷ 365 ≈ 1 year and 156 days - Adjusted Total: Years: 189 + 1 = 190 years Days: 156 days Step 2: Add the Siblings' Combined Age (693y 255d) - Siblings: 693 years + 255 days - Parents: 190 years + 156 days - Total: Years: 693 + 190 = 883 years Days: 255 + 156 = 411 days Convert Days to Years & Days: - 411 days ÷ 365 ≈ 1 year and 46 days Final Combined Age: 884 years and 46 days - The mother’s supercentenarian status (110 years). - The siblings’ total age (693+ years) and average age (~86.6 years). - The full family’s cumulative age (884 years) as unprecedented. 5. Submit to Media or Academic Studies - Local news outlets often cover extraordinary family longevity stories. - Universities studying aging (e.g., Harvard’s New England Centenarian Study) might be interested. Why This Could Be a Record - Melis siblings (record holders): 9 siblings = 818 years (avg. ~90.9 years each). - Your siblings: 8 siblings = 693 years (avg. ~86.6 years each) + parents’ 190 years = 884 total. - Even without the parents, your siblings’ combined age is remarkably close to the Melis record (and with one fewer sibling).
