huzzah for having a parent to test! i'm still trying to get anyone within 2 generations of me interested with no luck.
that's fascinating about the coughlin/coffman change!
i've found some 5th cousins that i can place neatly in my tree -- i contact folks on ancestry.com who had my people in their tree to see if they'd tested and would be willing to compare, which seems to work better for me than trying to figure out where people who match me fit in.
and i found a double fifth cousin on my other side, where siblings had married siblings.
do you use gedmatch.com and dnagedcom.com? i love the charts on the later and the breakdowns on the former (i especially love comparing with archaic dna at gedmatch *g* )
