Subject: [h-cost] early 20th Century Franco-American weddings
Sorry, this is a bit off-topic, but I'm hoping someone who studies
the time
period can help me.
While working on my genealogy, I noticed that many of my
Grandmother's
generation married on a Monday (1930s; Biddeford, Maine). I asked one
of her
Penny,
It must have been another Charlene as this thread is not one I
responded to.
Charlene Roberts
still-living sisters why that was and she didn't know; that's just
the way
it was done.
I later found this is a book about the Franco-Americans in Biddeford,
Maine:
"Weddings too retained much of their ethno-religious significance for
the
Franco. The wedding was usually held on Monday morning."
Of course, the author didn't provide any additional information or
cite this
in the footnotes. (One of the faults of the book is the amount of
information he presents without explanation.)
Does anyone know why French Catholics in the early 20th century
married on
Mondays?
