THE ROSENKOWITZ SEXTUPLETS
As reported yesterday, during this week in history in 1974, the world’s first surviving sextuplets were born at the Mowbray Maternity Hospital in Cape Town. On 11 January 1974, the Rosenkowitz family made headlines around the world. Following the incredible response to this story, many people have asked for an update on the family. This is what we know thus far from a reply on Facebook:
“Mother Susan Wilson is a native Briton who emigrated to South Africa in 1967. The record shows that the father Colin divorced Susan in 1989.
As of 2013 the Rosenkowitz children lived in various locations around the world. David and Anthony reside in Australia, Nicci commutes between Cape Town (SA)/London (UK), Grant and Sam (Samantha) in Cape Town (SA), Jason in Cork (Ireland), Emma in London (UK), and Elizabeth in Kent (UK).”
Can anyone provide further updates on their story? To follow what else happened during #ThisWeekInHistory: https://mailchi.mp/abc3c2fe30f6/
