So he was married twice, and both records state his date of birth on September 23, 1788 (not September 21, 1788)

Despite the above entries in marriage records,detailed investigation of his lifespan has ascertained that he was BORN September 21st and BAPTIZED September 23rd,according to Gert Jan Kuiper,my correspondent on Netherlands supercentenarians and a longstanding authority on that topic.--Louis Epstein/le@put.com/12.144.5.2 22:42, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Of course it is possible that such old civil records hold incorrect information. Is there a way to get a reference to the research by Gert Jan Kuiper, a website or a publication maybe? Taka 12:20, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Who is Pierre Darcourt? There is no other listing for him on Wikipedia and even a Google search didn't tell me anything. 211.58.227.144 05:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
