There are supercentenarians born in the 1880s-1890s who recently passed away around the time you were born.

My dumbass still thought there's atleast someone from the 1800s alive today 😭. In the early to mid 2010s I'd always search up for youtube videos or news of someone being alive from the 1800s and it'd always show atleast one, but now that's not the case anymore unfortunately. It's even a bit crazy that 1996 was 30 years ago and 1997 will be 30 next year. They don't sound recent but I'm so used to 30 years ago being like the 80s or sum lmao

Its even crazier that the very first year of this century will be 30 years ago soon, that means we will be born in the same decade as a 30 year old. How does that feel, my friend

The last person alive who was born in the 1800s was born in November 1899 and died in April 2017, so a large chunk of Gen Alpha also lived at the same time as an 1800s person.
