The Dionne Quintuplets

the story of the world's first and only ever recorded identical quintuplets!

*okay due to the many correctunal comments, i want to say sorry for the info that was wrong.

1)i have the parents name mixed up. Oliva is the father and Elzire is the mother

2)Marie died of a blood cloth in te brain. And when they returned to their family, they did not go back to the house in which they were born. They went living in a new build house.
*i was sure that they spent a few weeks or months in the house before the new was built, but i will look this up.

3)The Dionne Quintuplets were taken away from their parents and became wards of the Canadian Government, by whom they were exploited and displayed in a public museum. that is what i got from the internet source i used. it still says the canadian government and i think the movies says this too.

again i am sorry for the mistakes that were made and i hope that you cut me some slack, i am human. the video is a tribute to the girls, who were raised in the publics eye and kept away from normal childhood activities.

[bear908]

I do not. Sorry. You may be able to look up their contact information on the net...

[carolgray1]

[bear908]

Emilie, died in 1954 at age 20 of an epileptic seizure

Marie died at home at age 36

i'm not sure how Marie died..i was only able to find her age. sorry.

[manitobasuntanner]

it was actually the dr who exploited the kids. The girls were stolen from their parents.

[buddo1999]

A neceessary evil? NOTTTTTTT!!! To take children away from parents in this case was evil! It's a sickness of that society.....

[KARMABROWN]

did their dad really do that to them or was that just made up by the government and the people at the hospital because they were mad the girls had to leave?

@EwItsJudy1 If you're related through their father's side you're also related to celine dion(yes I know it's spelled different=) madonna and beyonce.according to genealogists they all share a common french ancestor.it's a very complex and often confusing hobby that takes aot of time but can be fun.you'd be surprised how many famous people are related to each other and how they seem to interweave.perhaps fame is genetic.for the record names change over the years.lettering and pronunciation.

[shawndo771]

my last name is Dionne. wonder if im related?

[kishakisha17]

read their book.....the remaining quints said that their parents treated bad and that they were sexually abused by their father.........maybe the government wasn't wrong in taking them.........the originally idea of the government was not to exploit the girls but to care for the but of course they saw the opportunity to make some money of the obsessive interest the public had in them....at the end of the day i think the government did wrong but the parents did 100 times worse.....

[wheeliegrl]

bastards, everyone involved in taking t hose children from their parents should be drawn and quartered. And I'd LOVE to watch! asshole canadians
