• Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing. Norm Coffey, FTDNA kit #B841164 and his half 1st cousin once removed Spencer Coffey, FTDNA kit #982146, match at a Genetic Distance of 1 on 111 markers thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA Robert Exum Coffey. FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 2 generations is 54.63% and within the last 3 generations is 73.24%. FTDNA indicates that their most recent common ancestor who formed the SNP (R-FTC70715) is estimated to have been born around 1800 CE.
