Census takers find the world oldest woman alive – in Riau Province!
From http://www.whatsnewjakarta.com/newsletter/2010/index.htm
Initially the census takers thought nothing about the year of birth recorded for a woman they interviewed in the village of Bukit Batrem village in Dumai Timor subdistrict.
However when the information was passed to the head office in Dumai it was noticed that her year of birth, 1865, makes her 145 years old!
They then sent a special team to visit the woman to try to verify the year of birth.
They interviewed her younger sister, whose age was listed as 98 and her adopted daughter, who is listed as being 70 years old.
Although there are no official records verifying her year of birth, from the information given, the investigators concluded that the evidence suggests that she is indeed 145 years old as she claims.
