Geert Adriaans Boomgaard
Geert Adriaans Boomgaard (September 21 1788 - February 3 1899) is accepted by most demographic scholars as the first validated supercentenarian case on record. However, some may view him as the second internationally recognized supercentenarian in the world after the case of Thomas Peters (1745 - 1857) was grandfathered into the Guinness Book main tables (from the footnotes) in the late 1980's.
