Hello! My maiden name is Lewis, my given name Francine, my middle name Judith. My father was Francis Joseph Lewis, his father was William Calhoun Lewis, his mother was Sophie (nee Balzer) Lewis.

My Mother was Marceline Mary (nee Collette) Lewis, her father was Francis Xavier Collette, her mother was Emma Delma (nee Constantine) Collette. There's somewhat of a problem with her father, as his father's name was actually Carpenter, but Phoebe (Collette) Carpenter, wife of Davis or David Carpenter, changed the name to Collette when Carpenter left. God only knows whether or not they divorced, but Phoebe was a shrew and Carpenter went on to have another family somewhere in New York. Francis Xavier, then, went from Carpenter to Collette. Both Collette and Constantine families are related through Phoebe Collette and Rose Bouvier (Yes, the same Bouviers as Jackie O., although distant cousins). Interesting enough, both Phoebe and Rose knew each other as young girls, despite their families living hundreds of miles apart. The Constantines were originally Constantineau in Quebec, by the way. The Collettes may have originally been Colet, but who knows.

Joe Collette! If you're still around please contact me! And all you Constantineaus, please let me know how we're related. I will post photos as soon as I figure out how this @#$% web page formatting is done.
