Posted by Brett Collins / (alternate email address) on January 21st 2004
I'm looking for my half sister Janice COLLINS, though she may now be married and have a different surname. She was born October 1947/48 & possibly in Leicestershire. The daughter of Phillip A. COLLINS & Audrey COLLINS (formerly CHAMBERLAIN). My name is Brett COLLINS & I share the same Father as Janice. I was born May 12th 1953 in South Wales, UK ... but now we live in North Carolina, USA. I have a daughter born Oct 13th 1984 & I am trying to find out what happened to Janice, as my father has had no contact since 1953 & so Janice & myself have never met. I do not know if she even knows I exist & my uncle believes her mother remarried and moved to Holland, so it’s possible Janice's last name may have changed when her mother re-married. If anyone is able to put me in touch with Janice it would be much appreciated. Many Thanks, Brett Collins

Looking for information regarding the LANCASTER & CURTIS Families
Posted by Juli Blenis on 28th December 2003
I am looking for information on Charles LANCASTER, I believe he was born in Lincolnshire on November 15th 1799. Of course I realize the counties of Rutland and Nottingham are pretty close and I know that my gg grandfather was born in 1827 in Nottingham. I can not located any information on a Charles LANCASTER (1799) in this time frame. The closest I've come is in 1801 for a christening of a Charles LANCASTER. The family appears to be Congregationalist (at least that is what they were here in the states). I also am trying to find information on a Sarah CURTIS who he married in Long Bennington in January 1825. She was born in Ropsley (I believe). At least this is what the family history from Illinois has in the log. I am stuck and can not go back any further because of the lack of information on parents. After Sarah died in (I believe) 1856, the family immigrated to Prophetstown,
Illinois, USA. I would really appreciate any information on my ggg grandparents. Best regards,
Juli Lancaster Blenis
