Good to hear from you, Dave.
As you know, the Adair County Cooleys match one another but do not match
the CF01 clan. Moreover, you're R1b, not R1a. One of the testers from CF13
should take the new R1b backbone test ($79). It will give nothing like the
resolution the Big Y gives, but it's a start and will begin to
differentiate your line from the other R1b's (most Cooleys). I'd be
willing to out up $20 for that.
