Description

St-Jean-Baptiste Roman Catholic Church is situated in the town of Amherstburg, Ontario.

Amherstburg, one of the oldest cities in the Province of Qntario, is located on the banks of the Detroit River, opposite the Isle of
Bois Blanc and, very close to the confluence where the said river pours its waters in Lake Erie.

St. John the Baptist Parish can be traced back to 1728. After the original church burnt down in 1843, the church was rebuilt under the organization of Father Boue.  It was one of the only Roman Catholic churches along the Detroit River between Sandwich and Lake Erie, and thus, served people from River Canard, McGregor, and Harrow.

This book contains the marriage records of St-Jean-Baptiste Church in Amherstburg from 1802-1985 with 203 pages.  There is no index but the book is sorted alphabetically by SURNAME.
