Great work Michael.
Cousins from my 3rd Great-Grandfather James Cooley are very frequently
revealed from my autosomal DNA test at Ancestry.com. Except in one case all
are women. None know anything about James' father John. James evidently did
not talk much to his children about his father's roots. Too bad!
