Becky - I am so happy your still on. I spoke with my Mom and this is what she told me. John Levesque which was my great-grandfather (I'm thinking, maybe the son of Joseph Levesque), was unable to read or write. When he was learning how to write his name the teacher told him to use the name BISHOP instead because it was shorter. Unknown to me the word Levesque in french means "bishop". So my Mom said that her grandfather was always referred to by his nickname of bishop. Maybe you already knew that but I figured I'd pass that along to you. I am in Massachusetts and like I said, I've only been on a month and have made lots of progress. I currently have just the US subscription but will be upgrading to the world tomorrow. If I can find anything to help you out I will gladly post it here. My family members are Lebert's but their grandparents were Levesque's. Let me know when you will be signing off until the winter so that I don't inundate you with stuff. I will hold the info till you return. Do you know who Joseph Levesque was married to? Where they were married? Take care Donna
