Hi listers with COLLINS in St. LOUIS, I thought maybe we could get together & compare notes to narrow down the 15 JOHN COLLINSes found on the many St. Louis City Directory listings. I'd like to determine if any of the Patrick COLLINSes or MAGNERS might be related to my JOHN COLLINS. One last search is to determine which of the JOHN COLLINS deaths might be mine-I have narrowed it to 6 but also have 44 others listed between 1856-1900. His parents were Michael COLLINS and Joanna PURCEL. He m. Eliza FITZPATRICK in St. Louis Maybe we can play a game of elimination. I know which one was mine in the City Directories. I have COLLINS City Directory records from 1857-1869. I also have 49 Collins marriage dates from Adaline to Mary Ann. I will be happy to share this data with anyone interested.
