Marc Rubio related this story to me in an e-mail dated September 20, 2000:
"My great-grandfather Christopher Joseph King (1874-1917) , brother of Catherine King (spouse Dorgan), studied for the priesthood in Ellicott City, MD, and he apparently participated in an exchange study program in Lille, France. I was told he may have met his future wife while attending Sunday afternoon vespers at a local church on one of his free Sunday afternoons from the seminary. So he married Malvina Landrieu in 1900 and became consul of the United States in Lille. The couple got 4 children :
Yolande, Madeleine, Roger and Edgar. The surname KING died out in France as Roger and Edgar didn't have children (neither Yolande). My grandmother Madeleine KING (1906-1974) married Julio RUBIO (from Colombia) and got 2 children : my father Francis (1932-1998) and my aunt Yvette."
