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.

I'm related to them. They're distant cousins of mine, I think.
