HelpRe: Swedish quadruplets between 1721 and 1901
in reply to a message by Malin
This is a fascinating post. Like you, I'm surprised there were quads being born nearly 300 years ago. In the US, there's a Navajo saying or maybe it's a belief, that twins are unlucky. Because the odds for survival are harder. This would be even more true with quads.
(I don't know how to complete the sets because to do so authentically, I'd need to know what names were being used in the birth years.)

I even found a woman who gave birth to "three boys and a monster with two heads" in 1726. Not quite sure if that counts as quints or not, but still!
You could use the top list I made for 1750, I've meant to share it here but haven't yet ...
