@John Bhend--hello again, from a different site.

Possible online sources for marriages before civil registration that I know of are:

http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~maryc/oldies.htm for Ontario

and http://www.michigan-genealogy.com/Roscommon-County-Marriage-Records... for Roscommon County.

There is also a series of books of early Ontario marriages by county that I have found useful, although using them requires checking the index of each book since there is no central index.  I found the books at both the public library in Mt. Clemens, MI and at the Library of Michigan in Lansing.  They may also be available at other libraries.  As far as I know, these books are not online anywhere.  To give you an idea of the extent, check out the Library of Michigan catalog entry for these books at http://35.8.7.98/search~S37?/aWalker+Dan/awalker+dan/1%2C7%2C33%2CB...

Holcomb I do see on 1900 census June (on index listed as Jesse) was 73 born NY father born CT, Mother born NY

I went to 1850 Lockport, Niagara Co and thought I might of had a man Charles Holcomb but there was no age. Charles might be a lead?

In Seeking MI Death records 1897 thru 1920, I found him as June HALCOMB, but no parents.

Comment by Debby Parkinson Worden on February 7, 2012 at 1:40pm

I looked at Seeking MI Death records 1897 thru 1920 and no June Holcomb death in MI. Also Checked Just Holcomb, a death in 1907 Holcomb,  and Livingston County deaths Holcomb. Sorry
