The Dionne Quintuplets

[sarainc]

The Dionne quintuplets - Annette, Cecile, Emilie, Marie and Yvonne - were born two months premature in a small farmhouse on May 28, 1934 near the French - Canadian village of Corbeil in northern Ontario. The family was not even aware that Elzire Dionne was pregnant with quintuplets. They were identical - created from a single egg.

the house they grew up in is now a museum in Canada, it's a really interesting place to visit!

That's so fascinating. I knew of them, of course, but I didn't know all that. Thank you for sharing.
