I've always laughingly said that I think everyone on this list is related to someone else on this list in some generation or another - and don't forget Celine Dionne - another famous French-Canadian ...with such a beautiful voice - but then I think all of us "F-C" have talent!

Turns out that they are my cousins thru several lines. But, of course, ALL French-Canadians are related, non? ---bob in monterey ==== ILSTANNE Mailing List ==== Courtesy is the key to list relationships.

I too am related to these surnames, including Celine Dion and Madonna who are both from the Fortin lines. If you are interrested in reviewing my documents please contact me.
