Dear Lori, I just read my Saturday mail and saw the information you sent and thought it was wonderful! My Collins line was from that area of SC, so it really helped me sort out and finally be able to discard some Collins names that I thought may have been mine. I haven't posted my information yet, because although it was derived from years of detective work and I know it is correct I haven't proven it beyond a shadow of a doubt. Brian's criticism of someone whose sole motive is to help others is very disturbing to me and makes me really reluctant to send in my small amount of information. I hate to keep this thing going, yet I couldn't stand the injustice of Brian's attack. Thanks again, Lori, for your work and generosity in sharing your information with us! And Brian, take a Midol!
