My great grandfather from Sao Jorge died when he was 90. His mother
(who never left the Azores and had 10 children [not all lived to
adulthood] was 100 when she died.
My great grandmother from Sao Jorge, died here in the US at 70 from
heart problems. Her mother (in the Azores) had died at 59 after having
9 children. Her father remarried and died when he was nearly 80.
Their daughter, my grandmother, was nearly 90 when she died. And her
daughter (my mom) is 93 and still has her wits about her although she
can't get around.
Mom has always said she comes from a line of long livers.
