On 6 May 2006, the last American survivor and the last survivor to have memories of Titanic's sinking, Lillian Gertrud Asplund, died at her home in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. Asplund, who was just 5 years old at the time, lost her father and three brothers (including her fraternal twin) in the tragedy. Her mother Selma Asplund and brother Felix, then three, survived. Selma Asplund had died on the anniversary of the sinking in 1964.[32]

At the time of Lillian Asplund's death, survivors Barbara West Dainton of Truro, England, ten months old at the time of the sinking, and Millvina Dean of Southampton, England, who was 10 weeks old, were still living, but were too young to have memories of the catastrophe. Therefore, with the death of Lillian Gertrude Asplund, first-hand passenger experience of the Titanic's sinking has passed out of living memory.

There are probably some relatives of Titanic survivor, but I know that the last survivor just died recently...she was in her late 90's I think

related to? odds are excellent. actual passengers? don't think so. remember reading something a few years back about one of the survivors dying and that there were two or three others still around. that's been a while back, so i am assuming that there are none still with us.
