Eleanor:
Thanks. A good chance it might have been him. I have this Kenneth Wayne
Collins m/1 on 30 Apr 1966, Waltham, Mass., to Claudia A. Petre from
Bathurst, N.B.
I have a fairly good “Parrsboro Shore” Collins file and that’s the only
Wayne I have. These Collins’ track back in part to Elizabeth “Betsy”
(Winter) Morris on my lineage.
