just posted this to the Alabama query page, will also post it to GenForum. My great great grandfather, Francis Lee COLLINS, b. 24 Nov 1832, near Birmingham, Alabama, said to have a twin brother, born two days later. this brother became a Physician and settled in Kansas City MO. who were Francis' siblings and parents? the parents died in the 1840's and the children left Alabama before 1850. Francis went first to Texas, then on to California. he was a cattle rancher. Their father was an Aliopathic doctor, and the son of Francis who had the bio. written up was an Ostiopathic doctor, also an uncle of theirs was in medicine.
