>>I know a lot about the famous Dionnes. Emilie Marie
>>Annette Cecile and Yvonne have a lot of siblings.
>>Therese Ernest Oliva Jr. Rose Pauline Victor and their
>>names are Emilie Marie Jeanne Dionne, Cecile Marie
>>Emilda, Marie Rein Alma, Annette Edouilda Marie, and
>>Annette Lilliana Marie. They were supposed to be
>>sextuplets (6) but the sixth fetus miscarried in the
>>3rd month of Elzire Dionne's pregnancy. Dr. Allan Roy
>>Dafoe was their doctor and was somewhat of a father to
>>the quints as their parents were removed from taking
>>care of the five girls. They were made wards of the
>>British crown and endorsed many products. Emilie died
>>of an uncontroled epileptic seizure in 1954 and Marie
>>died after a brief illness in 1970. Yvonne died of
>>cancer in 2001. Cecile and Annette still live today in
>>Canada. They were born in Callander ontario Canada in
>>1934 on May 28. The fame began as Oliva Dionne called
>>in to the local newspaper to ask if a birth
>>announcement for five would cost the same as for one.
>>The news spread quickly. Marie was tied down by weak
>>eyes and legs. Emilie was a mirror of Cecile. They
>>were all identical. Emilie was a leftie and had a
>>counter-clockwise hair whorl. Marie was the youngest.
>>They were put on display at a nursery for the public
>>eye called QuintLand. Emilie Marie Annette Cecile and
>>Yvonne are quite famous and you wouldn't believe all
>>the people that know nothing about them. Spread the
>>word. Be a history teacher to those in the dark. Email
>>me with any questions or comments.
>>Meg
>PS I forgot one small detail. Annette could play piano
>very skillfully since she could pluck the keys with
>two fingers only. She also could play a melody
>perfectly after heaaring in only once. There is also
>one more thing. The quints had a partial fusion of
>their middle two toes. This is evidence of their
>identicality since only 1 in 1000 people has this.
