Collins Genealogy
My mom was a Collins, from Shanvallycahill, Co Mayo, Ireland. There are a lot of Collins in Ireland, most, it seems from Cork but seems every county has some. I have been trying to flesh out my mom’s family for 2 decades...
If you have west of Ireland roots, you know that the majority of families have a lot of kids...
So I was lucky to have my Uncle Mike do a Big Y 700 dna test at FTDNA...
And just recently, on FTDNA, I’ve found 4 or 5 Collins surnamed people with trees who are dna related...
I suspect I’m at the mercy of when a family member takes a dna test to move things more certainly...
