Title: Collins Family Tree
Post by: gbsmiles on April 14, 2004, 09:25:25 AM
I was bored tonight so I decided to do a very comprehensive Collins Family Tree.  Be aware though, it's a large image.  10 generations don't make for a very small picture.....Enjoy

Copy & Paste:  sorry...

When I copy and paste this, I get the entire tree in one box, which makes it impossible to read....what do I have to do to be able to read each entry?

Click anywhere on the page to bring up the icon that will expand the page to regular size.  Then use the horizontal slide at the bottom to scroll from left to right to read it.

Dom, highlight the url, then copy and paste it into your browser window.  Topcities is preventing a direct link.

gbsmiles - that is so cool, thanks for sharing!!!


P.S.  I always suspected that Tony Peterson was somehow or other descended from those nasty Trasks!  >:D

He is?  I didn't know that.  Should have realized 'cause there IS definitely a family resemblence.  [winkb]

The author ingeniously has Tony Peterson descending from a marriage Charity made with an unknown Peterson apres the events of 1897.  Again, as in the case of the Jennings, I think there should be a generation in between Tony and Charity.

I like very much, but Gabriel and Edith only had 3 kids.

There were a few people that I improvised relationships for.  Hope no one minds.  I just thought it would be cool for them to have a connection to others in the past.

Hey everyone..I started this at like 3am so I knew there would be some problems with it...I knew I would be able to count on DS fans to point them out since you all seem to have such a great handle on the history of the characters.  I'll make the changes you all suggested.  Also, sorry about the problems some of you are having viewing it.  Free hosting was the only option I had, even though they are terrible.

Yes, the Trask/Peterson connection is gbsmiles' own interpretation.  There wasn't any evidence given on the show that Tony was descended from the Trasks.

I like very much, but Gabriel and Edith only had 3 kids.

Hmm, I'm seeing 3 children plus a spouse in Gabriel's and Edith's line.  Or did I miss something that was there earlier?  ???

Ack! No Midnite, you're totally right. I must have misread the chart  ::)

gbsmiles, I know we're all picking this apart, but it really is a nice thing you're doing.  :D

I love these sorts of charts.  Very impressive!  I don't have any of my DS (Pomegranate) books with me so I'm unable to compare this family tree with the published ones.

Is there a way of copying and saving the chart?

Caleb Sayers Collins, whose will stated that no one could live in the Seaview House for 100 years after his death (1872) may have been one of Gabriel and Edith's children.  He does fit into the timeline.

Abner Collins, mentioned in the summer 1970 episodes which has his portrait hanging outside the playroom, may have been Flora's husband.

There was also a Jonah Collins mentioned in an episode where Liz and Roger are in the cemetary in a 1968 episode.  Perhaps he is also a child of Edith and Gabriel.
