According to the Jean CONSTANTIN family baptism abstracts listed in Rev. Hébert's, _Southwest
Louisiana Records_, Volume 1 (1756-1810), page 144, Jean is said to be a native of the following places in
France:

1) "Listrac en Medoe in France"
2) "Listrac en las cercanias de Baurdens"
3) "Lystrac, near Burdens in France"

Also, his 1805 marriage abstract lists his parents as Pierre Constantin and Marie Blanc.
