Hi Guys Took all morning to thoroughly read all of the previous posts. Just my thoughts. The reply I received from the Beaton Institute in the past, listed the family of Colin and the numbers of males and females matched. I will post that here. I believe the Whycocomagh Colin (Collen) is different t...
