Hi Collins Searchers

Looking for information on Michael Collins, born in 1835 in Ballinduff,
Galway, son of Patrick Collins. He married Mary Reilly from Lymneach in 1864
in the civil parish of Headford, church parish of Donaghpatrick. They
lived in Ballinduff for a while and later moved to Limneach (Lymnaugh). The
had the following children:

1. Margaret Collins, born Jan. 17, 1865 in Ballinduff, emigrated to Albany,
NY in late 1800's and married Charles Fagan. Had one daughter, Alice Fagan.
2. Michael Collins, born about 1868. Married Catherine Skerrett in 1893 in
Donaghpatrick parish. Had at least 3 children-Bridget, Patrick and Michael.
Michael Collins stayed in Ireland. They lived in Limneach.
3. Winifred Collins, born October 10, 1872 in Ballinduff. Came to USA in
late 1800's and married William O'Donnell and had one child, William
O'Donnell.
4. Catherine Collins, born February 1, 1875 in Limneach. No other
information. Assume she stayed in Ireland.
5. Patrick Collins, born February 1, 1877, in Limneach, Galway. No other
information. Assume he stayed in Ireland.
6. Mary Elizabeth Collins (my grandmother), born October 2, 1879 in
Limneach, Galway. Emigrated to Albany, NY around 1894 and married James
Callahan in 1909. Lived in Schenectady, NY and had one daughter, Margaret.

Looking for more information and also, possibly living relatives still in
Ireland.

Thanks for anything!
