Dear Vergie DeAntonio,

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History at Duke. I'm working on a dissertation involving the history of Washington and Tyrrell Counties since Reconstruction. I was searching online to try and locate particular individuals relevant to my research, and I found your website. What I would really like to do is get in touch with people who have lived in the area (either Washington or Tyrrell Counties), and whose families have lived in the area, in the last 100 or so years. I would love to hear about their experiences, and to ask them some questions about various periods in the history of the 20th century.

I'm wondering if you might have any suggestions about finding people who would be willing to speak with me? Right now, I am writing a chapter about the federal Farm Security Administration's resettlement projects in the late 1930s, but my research encompasses the entire span of years from the 1870s-1990s. In other words, I am wide open as far as the scope of people from whom I'd like to hear, and would be thrilled to find individuals who like to tell stories about the past and to discuss their region's history. If you have any suggestions at all, I'd be deeply grateful if you would pass them on to me. You can e-mail me at this address, or else please call me collect at (250) 709-9640. (I currently live on the west coast, so we are 3 hours earlier than NC.)

I look forward to hearing from you, and want to also thank you for making your research available online. It's a treasure chest of information!

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best,
Alisa Harrison

What's In A Name?

Collins/Cole/Coles : English Patronymic Name...Nicholas was an extremely popular name in early times -- in the 4th century, Nicholas was the patron saint of children. Many names were derived from Nicholas, such as Nichols, Nickles, Nickleson, McNichols . Collins derived from the ending of Nicholas.

Collins - O'Cullane:- Collins may be regarded as an indigenous Irish name. The sept was called O'Coileaian, it's territory being in county Limerick. In the thirteenth century they were driven southwards by the Geraldines and then settled in West Cork. There was also a sept called O'Cuilleain, subsequently anglicised Collins. It is in county Limerick where most of the modern day Collins are most numerous.
