Since the 18th century at least, centenarians have fascinated thier contemporaries. But it was only in the 19th century that studies testing the hypothesis of the hereditary nature of longevity appeared. Do centenarians have parents and grand-parents who died at later ages than the rest of the population ? This article attempt to answer that question by assessing the principal research undertaken on the subject since the beginnig of the century, and then presenting the results of a recent study in Belgium. The article also presents a critical approach to the statistical methods used and concludes, with qualifications in favor of a family component in longevity
