Family with 4 twins

While tracking down my ancestors (genealogy and family history are my hobbies), I found a family with not one, not two, not three, but four pairs of twins! Besides the twins, the family had four other children, so 12 children in total. The children were born between 1711 and 1729 and many of them didn't survive of infancy: only one of them, my direct ancestor, lived certainly till adulthood.

Grels and Brita had...

Grels & Simon
Johan & Elin
Mattheus (or Matts)
Lars Michael & Maria
Karin & Anna
Henrik - my ancestor
Gregorius (or Grels)
Ericus (or Eric)

Do you know any families (past or present) with more than one set of twins?

There is a set of twins in my class named Steven and Gary who had younger sisters that were twins but I don’t remember their names. I also have a friend who is currently pregnant with her second set of twins. Her older sons are named Lincoln and Maverick.

I went to school with a family who had 2 sets of twins - Brydon & David (identical), + Meiana & Anthony (fraternal).

I like Simon, Maria, Anna, and Henrik, and I don't know of any family with more than one set of twins.

In 1927 one of my ancestors had triplets Robert, James and Roberta.

James and his wife went on to have two sets of twins John and Eileen and then Carole and Patricia
