My great grandfather was born, lived and died (1950) at the age of 94 years
in Madalena do Pico. Other than colds, he never suffered any major illness.
I also had an aunt that was born in Calheta,
Sao Jorge, in 1901,and died in California in 2005. I have several aunts and
uncles that lived into their 90's.
alive at 97 they are 1/2 azorean and there mother was from Madeira(she
lived to be 101!). Records show my Bretanha GGgrandmother had a child
at 42! But, since I plan to retire in Sao Miguel 10 years, please dont
tell anyone or the Brits/Germans on holidaaay and retiring American baby
boomers will overrun and ruin our beautiful and peaceful azores with
ovecrowding and noise as they look for the fountain of youth. I think
the secret lies in hard work and plenty of bacalhau/fish and fruits
and lots of KALE SOUP!

Is there a lot of longevity in Azorean families? My great aunt Edith
Rose Vieira lived until 103 and 1/2.
