Many many new pictures have been added to the new gallery! I try to add some just about every day! Will try to keep that up as time allows.
March 7, 2007
Greetings! I am sorry for the lack of updates lately. It's been some busy months for me lately. I haven't forgotten about the site of course :)
Good news: I am in the process of fixing a new gallery for the Dionne website. This new gallery is much more convenient than the one I currently have. It doesn't take a lot of time fixing thumbnails, html pages and stuff for every picture manually (believe me, that is a time consuming hassle). It is easy to just sort all the pics into various galleries here, and I really really like it so far! I've customized it the way I want it for now (took a while to get the hang of it).
You need to register in order to see the pictures. I have just started to transfer the pics I already have on this Dionne site into this gallery, but there are also some new goodies amongst the "old" pictures.... This gallery will grow fast I am sure :) I have SO much to scan, there seems to be no end of it in sight for a long time.
A cool thing about this gallery is that you are able to leave comments to the pictures. It's more interactive if you know what I mean, and that's always nice. =)
Head over there, register, and have fun!

Let's see what I have updated the site with in the past week. There is a new article from 1935 in the articles section titled "What about the other 5 Dionnes?" It is kind of interesting to read what the author has to say! And in Newspaper articles & tidbits, I have added an article that contradicts this one. As you know, the press was usually on the Dafoe side of the "fight", and looked down on the parents in those days. Well, it is an interesting read =)
November 6, 2006
Nine more pictures have been added to the 1940 section of Scanned pictures. I have also added a video clip in Quints--->Media--->Videos: "Shirley Temple speaks to the quint's guardian, David Croll". It's a newsreel clip from 1936, and I thought it would be a neat addition to the site. Hope you enjoy =)
October 31, 2006
The scanned pictures section has been updated again! With 3 pictures from 1940 and 7 pictures from 1941. I have also added a section of screen caps from another documentary about the quints. It is the 1998 Life and Times one.
There has also been some changes: The guestbook is deleted, but instead I have added a page with direct contact information. And the Forum (messageboard) will have a higher priority from now on than it used to. So if you are interested in multiples, you better check it out. A lot of various pictures, articles and info will be added there about all kinds of multiples. And there is also a section for the Dionne quints only, of course.
October 24, 2006
I have now added a 1941 section to the scanned pictures - with 8 scans in there so far. And there has also been another "tidbit" added since last time, from 1940.
I would also like to say a very special thanks to Lillian, who sent me a wonderful scrapbook with clippings as a gift. It was such a treat to receive it, and I am forever grateful. It will be a great addition to this site (All of the 1941 scans which I added today are from that scrapbook for instance). Will update with more scans soon.
October 17, 2006
Another article has been added: The strange case of the Dionne quints. I have also started a new section in Quints---> Miscellaneous---> Newspaper articles & Tidbits. I will add many newspaper articles and notices to that section in the future. Two have been added already for you to enjoy.
October 10, 2006
Two great articles have been added again! The 2nd part of "Annette Dionne today" as well as a 1938 article from Better Homes & Gardens. Enjoy!
October 7, 2006
Another book has been added to the Books section in Pictures: The Dionnes, by Ellie Tesher. Along with 19 pictures (20 if you count the cover). It's a lovely book, so be sure to check it out!
September 21, 2006
Two very long, but very nice and uncommon articles have been added. (One about Annette from 1967 and one about Cecile from 1958). Took me hours to write them by hand, so this will do for today =) Enjoy!
September 13, 2006
Sorry for the lack of updates this past month. There is a lot going on in life now that school has started again. I have to admit I haven't really been in the mood to make updates either. But I finally decided to dedicate some time to it tonight! I have added 2 articles in the Articles section (one from 1937 and one from 1950). You will also find seven new Photographs in the Photographs section of pictures. I decided to divide the photographs into two pages to make it easier to view. I forgot to mention earlier that a new Postcard has also been added. Oh, and there is a small update in the Siblings page of the Family section. There is some info added to Daniel and Ernest's bios. Enjoy for now!

I'm sorry for the lack of updates in the past few months. I will try to get better. There is so much that needs to be done with this page that I'm starting to feel rather overwhelmed.

Enjoy until next time!

I am sorry I haven't updated this site in a while. I will try to make a better effort from now on! To start with, I have changed the layout completely. The previous one was okay - but I still felt that it was time for a change. I hope I didn't disappoint anyone by doing so. I have also added a Guestbook now! I would love for you to sign it. It's always nice to hear from people - whether it's suggestions for this site, or just a 'hello'. From now on, you can check in this 'Updates' section every time you visit to see whether I have updated or not.
