Puerto Rican claims oldest woman title

A 114-year-old Puerto Rican has been named the oldest living woman, replacing an Ohio woman who is more than two months younger, Guinness World Records said today.

Ramona Trinidad Iglesias Jordan earned the distinction earlier this month, Guinness official Laurie Hughes said. She was born on either August 31 or September 1, 1889, in the mountain town of Utuado, according to documents presented to the London-based group.
