A Bard in the ancient Irish Celtic culture was a story teller, historian, poet and genealogist. Using these same disciplines, "The Story of the Collins Family", written by John D Collins, is a modern bardic narrative focused on the Collins ancestry back to Ireland and far beyond. The author's keen interest in genealogical DNA mapping processes would be the catalyst for five years of research which would eventually accumulate as evidence of ancestral lineage extending back to 50 BC in an area now known as Northern Italy. As the story unfolds, the reader is immersed with countless images, including sketches, photographs, paintings, charts, maps and family trees, all of which were not afforded bards of ancient times. Collins' book consists of three key elements: first of which is the author's presentation and interpretation of DNA evidence; secondly, a very plausible storyline is laid out connecting the ancient Celtic culture located in Central Europe and Northern Italy, to the Celtic Gaels who migrated to SW Ireland around 100 BC. The story continues with the descending tribes of the Gaels, including the Eoganachta, the Ui Fidgenti, the Ui Chonaill Gabhri and finally, the O'Coileain (Englishization name O'Collins). Lastly, armed with evidence found in Irish and North American records, the last seven generations of Collins's are examined. Extensive tales are laid from Irish emigration to Canada and the United States to a massive fire in St. Louis, Missouri; traversing the open plains by wagon; navigating the Missouri River by steamboat to mining camps and cattle ranches in Montana; and life in the Old West as told by another Collins family historian.
