Can't find where I've learned for Ansel & Bernard Collins... maybe in a book...

IJahman : http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll
Bob Andy : http://www.reggae.fr/artiste-biographie ... -Andy.html (in french)
http://www.jahmusik.net/oldies/ithrees.htm (in french)

Are Byron Lee & Bunny Lee relatives ?

Ijahman WAS married.

The other 2 aren't correct.

Internet is full or errors, people just copy and paste without double-checking or researching!

Byron Lee and Bunny Lee aren't related at all (they worked together for years though)

I doubt Ansel Collins & Bernard Collins are brothers. Have you ever seen their faces ? Ansel is kinda half chinese while Bernard is far more black skinned...
