Gotcha! Just wishful thinking. I'm afraid my family is of no help with the
Cooley DNA. I wish you success in finding those who can help. If you need
help tracking anyone down, let me know. I taught genealogy at several
Community Colleges in the 1970's and 1980's in So Calif. I also worked as
an Estate Investigator for about 20 years, tracking down relatives unknown
and missing in probate matters.
