This is a personal post for a distant cousin and a good friend:
Everyone, please know that our Cousin Donald Collier of Georgia has returned home after suffering a stroke. Don, a descendant of John, son of Vines Collier, has been long been involved in genealogical research and has documented many of the important Collier sites in Georgia. He is one of the far-reaching Collier clan we have been privileged to meet – all brought together by the CHF and our common interests. For Don, we ask that you pray for his full and speedy recovery, and for his family, strength to help him with his ordeal.
Whether you know him personally or not, he is kinfolk and with a huge love of family. I’m sure he would welcome a card of encouragement.

Dear Cousin Don,
I mailed you a big package of family stuff today to amuse and tease you while you recover. We all are wishing you and your family well. Best wishes Cousin Elaine Collier Neal
What is our cousin designation for Donald? What number and how many removed? Thanks!
If my counting is correct, Cousin Don is the fifth generation from Vines Collier, the same as my father. So, he is my father’s fourth cousin. Don’s daughter and I are fifth cousins.
I have found out that Donald Collier has suffered another stroke and has been in ICU. Please keep Donald and his family in your thougts and prayers.
Hello, my name is Leah Kirschner. Don was my grandpa’s brother (Ben Lewis Collier) Son. My Grandpa was Irvin Sears Collier married Vanetta Strange. They had 2 children. Irvin Sears Collier Jr and my mom Bonnie June Collier whom sadly passed away Tues Sept 19th 2023. I took over the genealogy from my mom when she was diagnosed with dementia. I have a bit on the Colliers but not a lot. Her and Don spoke a lot and I’ve found quite a bit online, but I want hard proof before I add it in my tree.
Thank you all,
