Swiss longevity recordholders

The Swiss longevity recordholder is difficult to determine as centralised records are not public.

Articles about the "oldest living Swiss" of the moment reported on:

From 1970–2004, four persons in Switzerland lived to be 110 years or older; they died between 1993 and 2001, according to the Swiss Federal Statistical Office quoted by a journalist. This would include Emma Duvoisin and Mathilde Bonzo-Wrede listed above. Anna Ringier-Kieser would be the fifth one.

Information from the Thatcher-Kannisto database indicates the Swiss record to be age 111, but no name is given.
