Magere Hein 1,400 Posted April 19, 2012 http://www.grg.org/Adams/E.HTM [mode = nerd] From that website I glean that 45 people born in the 19th century are still with us. After all, those born in 1900 were also born in the 19th century, for the same reason that the 21st century began on 1 January 2001: there was no year 0.
