I have, among my relatives, a Louis Davis Collins, b. 26 Nov 1832 AL son of Lewis D. Collins b. abt 1790 S.C. and Cynthia b. abt 1791 N.C.. I wonder if there's a relationship here. herein is an excellent transcript of the genealogical research of one Connie Andrea regarding the Collins of Kershaw Co., S.C. that looks fairly promising of being the missing branch of my ancestry. http://www.wvi.us/collins/ [1] and my family tree with my Collins ancestors and relatives; http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=necko&id=I6093 [2] anyone care to compare them and give an opinion? it's hard for me to tell if I'm following the correct lineage. just because I want it to be doesn't mean it is, and I want to get it right. thank you for your time and thoughts. best, Cornelia Links: ------ [1] http://www.wvi.us/collins/ [2] http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=necko&id=I6093

The information you have provided is from information I found at a Mormon Family History Library some years ago. It is NOT research done by Connie Andrea but done by one late Leonardo Andrea for several clients. The file was in the possession of Connie Andrea at the time it was donated to the FHL. I copied the file and have shared it with many people over the years researching southern Collins families. Each time this information was shared I have tried to be factual where the information came from and who did the work.
