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

Bob Andy :

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...
