The saga involving Melon Lutenyo and Sharon Mathias is not new. Indeed if DNA tests prove they are sisters, they will join about 1,894 twins separated at birth and raised apart.

The Twin Studies Centre of California State University, US, has since 1922 collected data of publicly known twins separated at birth.
