I'm sorry I can't help you with the popular spots to do things in 1865. I wasn't around then!!! Sorry, I couldn't resist that! It's also been a "few years" since I went to Mackinac Island with my senior class, too! -----Original Message----- From: can-usa-migration-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:can-usa-migration-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of syrnick@mts.net Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2009 3:50 PM To: can-usa-migration@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CAN-USA-MIG] Illinois Obits & Mackinac Co. marriages Hi: My cousin's daughter was married on Mackinac Island, 14 July, 2009 and honeymooned in the Hotel. They live in Ontario and not sure how they chose that spot for their wedding and honeymoon. Sounds very romantic and am anxious to get photos to add to the Family Tree. Know this Island is no where close to Kingston, Ont. but still have to wonder if my illusive Elizabeth C. HERD and her groom John Kerr Weir did not go somewhere in the One Thousand Islands off Kingston to be married. Still looking for proof of their marriage. If anyone can think of a popular wedding spot circa 1865, please advise.
