Hello fellow researchers, Here is some Collins I found while looking for mine. I found this in a book at the Library of Congress while I was visiting. I did not write down the name of the book, as my husband kept rushing me. I hope this will help someone with there line. Please do not email me on this, as I will be giving you everything I wrote down. I am hoping this will open a door for someone for researching further.
