The Lifecourse site has Generation X as the only living Nomad generation. That didn’t seem right - surely the oldest living American was born before 1900. And that turns out to be the case. She just turned 115 last week.
Born May 23, 1899, Jeralean Talley is a member of the Lost Generation (born 1883-1900). It was tempting to complain about their exclusion as a a living Nomad generation, if she is still around. However, it appears that no males remain from that cohort: The oldest man alive today was born in 1903. Time marches on.
