I would like to trace if possible the Daughter of my father Douglas Dundas Collins. All I know is that my father was a Canadian and that with his first wife he had a daughter. I think that possible the mother was American. She is a little older than me and I was born in 1943. At one time my father was connected to Cowensville and later he lived in Calgary and Vancouver

Is it your tree on Ancestry?

EDIT it is a private tree, this is all one can see without access:

Born: 1920 in Cowansville, Quebec, Canada

The tree owner is female, might be her maybe, or at least a family member hopefully!
