Frank Collins and Mary Duffy of Springfield, Ohio

Frank Collins and Mary Duffy were born a few miles apart in County Roscommon, Ireland. They first met on the boat to America. They were married at St. Patricks Church in Chicago in 1871 and settled in Springfield, Ohio. They had eleven Children.

One hundred and twenty four of us met at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Springfield, Ohio in July of 1996 for a Collins Family Reunion. I hope that this effort will continue and that we can gather more descendants of Frank and Mary and fill in all of the missing leaves in the family tree.
