Carol Anne Perhaps it would help to locate the St.Germain side. Most marriages occur in the girls parish. There was a Antoine St.Germain and his wife Harriet Wimet who came to Kankakee in 1857 and farmed in Limestone twp. They had nine children seven sons and two daughters. He had a son named Romain ,born 15 May 1846 , at Montreal, married,18 Nov 1874, a Miss Louisa Carrow,the eldest child of Joseph Carrow et Susan Tatro. The parents were born in Canada. The interest here is 1. The St.Germain name in Montreal 2. THe marriage with Louisa Carrow. I believe that the name Carrow is the same as Caron or Carreau in Quebec Province. probably dit names ?? So I would look for the mariage of Hyppolite et Mathilda in and around Montreal. But for this period you will need parish records unless it would be in the Red or Blue Drouin.
