🧩This Week's #ConnectionCheckers Twins 👯

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wfxfTzLvXbs

Each August, Twinsburg, Ohio hosts the largest gathering of twins anywhere in the world — so this week's game is doubly delightful.

First, see which of these twin notables is closest to you on our "Big Tree":

Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt — twin to Lady Thelma Furness, and mother of fashion icon Gloria Vanderbilt
Dietrich Bonhoeffer — twin to sister Sabine; theologian and member of the resistance against the Nazis
Eng Bunker — conjoined twin to brother Chang, the "original" Siamese twins
Andraé Crouch — twin to sister Sandra, both Gospel musicians
Betty Cuthbert — Olympic gold medalist known as "Australia's Golden Girl"
Ann B. Davis — twin to sister Harriet; best known as "Alice" on The Brady Bunch
Philip K. Dick — twin to sister Jane; science fiction author
Robin Gibb — twin to brother Maurice, both of The Bee Gees
Jenna Bush Hager — fraternal twin to sister Barbara, daughters of President George W. Bush
Randolph Hearst — twin to brother David, sons of William Randolph Hearst
Elvis Presley — whose twin Jesse was stillborn; the King of Rock & Roll
King James II of Scotland — twin to brother Alexander

Second, verify your connection. On August 4, three members will be entered into the Connection Checkers Hall of Fame: the shortest verified path, the longest verified path, and the most individual connection steps verified — including those verified by helping others.

Please join us, even if you don't know where to begin. Start by posting an answer with a link to a connection you'll try to verify, then post updates as you go. If you get stuck, ask — others are glad to help.
