• 1000 Islands + Amherst Island
  • The Islands (Wolfe Island, Howe Island, Garden Island, Simcoe Island and Amherst Island) – These islands are located at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River where it joins Lake Ontario and are part of The Thousand Islands.  Wolfe, Howe, Garden and Simcoe are located in Frontenac County while Amherst Island is located in Lennox & Addington County.  This site spurred me on to take a genealogy trip to Kingston and the Islands in July 2004.
