<span style="font-weight: bold"> Cuban Woman marks her 126th birthday ( BBC )...</span>
Relatives and friends of a Cuban woman have celebrated what they say is her 126th birthday, though that claim to longevity is not recognised internationally. Cuba's Prensa Latina agency says Juana Bautista (de la Candelaria) Rodriguez has a civil registry document that states she was born on 2 February, 1885, in the town of Ceiba Hueca, 900 kilometres south of Havana.The claim would make her the world's oldest person by more than a decade but she isn't recognised by the Los Angeles-based Gerontology Research Group, which verifies information for Guinness World Records.At 114-years-old, American Besse Cooper is recognised as the world's oldest person.
