While researching online for U.P. information, I came across a digital copy of the book, "History of the Upper Peninsula, 1883." In the Mackinac County section, I found several pages that recorded an "old marriage register" for Mackinac and St. Ignace. These are Catholic Church marriages for the French inhabitants of the area, and there are 115 marriages listed from 1725 to 1837.

Here is how to locate this information. Go to this URL:
http://www.pldl.org/michcol.html and scroll down the page to the reference "History of the UP - 1883." Click on that title. The new page will open to the title page of the book. Near upper left side of the screen, look for the small box that shows the "page no." Use the down arrow to go to page 370. The marriages are listed on pages 370 to 372. Use the + sign at the top of each page to enlarge the page. In the box marked "Format" at the top left of the page, change the "image" to PDF. When that page opens, it is possible to print the page.

I hope this information will be useful to some researchers.
