While researching Vitamin D3, ran across this site. You will note this newspaper has an obituary section and obituary/Legacy section: http://www.clintonherald.com/opinion/local_story_266102925.html?keyword=topstory Today received an email from my lst cousin about his daughter's wedding. They were married on Mackinac Island in Michigan. The couple live in Ontario. Had never heard of the Island so googled and it sounds very nice. No motorized vehicles are allowed with travel being by horse or horse & carriage, bikes or foot. http://www.mackinacisland.org/ When googling also spotted the following site: http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/mimack/marriages/data/nameindex.asp?MackinacMarriagesPage=15 This site is quite interesting as if you click on one area, you get the source of the marriage information. Hope these sites might be useful to someone. Lauraine
FYI, Mackinac Island is a beautiful place! A lot of high school classes in our area go there for their Senior trips. The island is rich with history, has a lot of monuments and placques, old cannons, etc. and trails you can follow. There are no motorized vehicles on the island, only horse-drawn carriages.......and you can go for rides on them.......all around the island, to view the various things there. They also have the Grand Hotel which sets atop a hill, overlooking the Great Lakes and a lot of the island. Lots of people go there for their honeymoons, or just to get away to a quiet place where there are no cars and trucks, or other speedy ways of life. mas -----Original Message----- From: can-usa-migration-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:can-usa-migration-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of syrnick@mts.net Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 5:14 PM To: can-usa-migration@rootsweb.com Subject: [CAN-USA-MIG] Illinois Obits & Mackinac Co. marriages While researching Vitamin D3, ran across this site.
