Little get together

This is Carmen,her parents are Harvey and Lorrain who are the newly weds found on the right in the old photo below. Harvey was a Barber with his own shop on 9 mile and Woodward in Michigan's lower. They always took in Foster children and adopted 4 one of which was Carmen.
Carmen took great interest and it is her passion Genealogy. Your Grand-pa Henry "Patsy" Collins is the man behind the woman with the dark collar coat over her shoulders. Standing next to her is Gram-ma Mary Rogan Collins in the light dress & Dark long hair (center of the photo) There were 13 brothers and sisters. It seems like not all the names in the photo are listed. I too am confused and probably should quit trying.





I don't know why I bother trying to figure out who people are. Dad's cousin Carmin has it all figured out and knows everyones name and has a story about most of the people. It's a lot of fun listening to her.
These old photos are are a bit confusing to me but I'll just post them anyway, just for the hell of it. I do know that Great Grandpa is one of the little boys sitting.







Collins Offspring and spouses
Shelly, Richard, Mary, Pat, Carol, Ron, Diane, Carmen, Kathy, Herb, Chip ,Polly Candis, Brody, Jillian

Okay, it makes more sense now, but it does look like they stopped listing the names. Pretty cool, anyway!
