• Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing. Richard Coffey, FTDNA kit #168121, and his 5th cousin once removed Spencer Coffey, FTDNA kit #982146, match at a Genetic Distance of 2 on 111 markers thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA John Coffey. FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 6 generations is 83.63% and within the last 7 generations is 91.4%. FTDNA indicates that their most recent common ancestor who formed the SNP (R-FTB75177) is estimated to have been born around 1600 CE.
