An American family has set a Guinness World Record by having five generations born on the same day, September 14, spanning over a century. The record was achieved with the birth of Arthur Bell on September 14, 2025, making him the fifth consecutive generation to share the birthday. Arthur's great-great-grandfather, Wilber Harlow, was born on September 14, 1907, and the family tradition continued with his daughter Addie in 1949, followed by her son Donald in 1972, Emma in 1997, and finally Arthur in 2025.
This surpassed the previous record of four generations, held by seven families since the 1800s. The family's tradition involved marking their shared birthdays with outings to restaurants, celebrating with cakes and candles. The record highlights an alternating male-female pattern across the five generations, with Wilber being born in 1907 and Arthur in 2025.
The family found out about the four-generation coincidence but waited to apply for official recognition until they could extend it to five generations.
