P1F2E: THE “NOVA SCOTIAN” GROUP:
John William “Jack” Coffey has
traced his line, and that of a distant cousin, through Nova Scotia, back to an
immigrant from County Cork in Ireland. He has actually travelled to Ireland a

He has a 67-marker test, but there
are no matches at that level. Likewise there are no
matches at 37-markers.

connection, but if we back off to 25-markers there are several matches at a GD
of “2”, many to Ingram, Ingrum and
