Yes, we are related! on page 23 of this thread, I made a connection to page 4, but I think page 30 takes the cake!

Wow I can’t believe how many pages this is going strong…and with many on other threads saying they’re not bothering to look since they don’t have special yichus! What a pity!

The world is a small place!

Re: Feldman Reunion

My aunt said it was for high school girls only. I didnt qualify 😀

Correct. I wasnt there either:) but my sisters went and I got a very detailed report

We should do this again with all the marrieds included.

Non identical twins are genetic which makes sense that you have so many. It isnt common for a whole family of siblings to have one or more twin granchildren. One of my aunts has three sets.
It usually runs in the family.
We happen to be einiklach of that family as well.

She's saying that each of the siblings have at least one child (out of many) with twins. Not that practically all of their children each have a set. In a family with 10 children, say, it is very common for at least one out of the ten to have twins, Teomim family or not.
