How did you trace Collins line back to England? My Collins settled in Ohio and before that were in New Jersey - not even sure about that. My great-grandfather (Thomas Collins) died in Clinton County, Ohio circa 1845 -- I have no clue who his parents were. Have been hunting for 10 or more years and still can't find my great greats or any of Thomas' siblings. Joan/OH In a message dated 1/28/2010 12:03:26 A.M.

Many Collins went to Wales. I have lots of data if yours could be one like Mine. Joan -
