I met a woman in Boston who had the name Côté. It turned out we
were related as her Côté relatives came from the same village as my
Côté relatives (Sainte-Croix). I'm probably related to this fellow
too. Québecois of French ancestry account for more than 40 million
people in North America. And we're all related, distantly but
close enough to call each other cousin.
