Someone took over most of the last Lubavicher rebbe's profiles on Geni and modified switched them from political mode (alive, King Mashiach), to reality mode (deceased, and his real name).

Weirdly I notice those who say he's still alive give him as widower of Chaya Mushka, husband of "Chana Schneerson"... what is that new meshigas?

Fascinating article about a distant cousin of mine (according to Geni, "third great grandfather's wife's first cousin's wife's second cousin four times removed"). Her father is a Haitian writer who converted.http://www.cjnews.com/index.php?

According to Geni, respectively on my and husband's side, the people who lived longer recently (kinda) are:

Leib Klapholz - 100 years (1817-1917)
Lucia Bedarida - 105 years (1900-2006)
