I've found some interesting genealogical sites. One that gives basic information for all Irish surnames is http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/surname/. For the name "Coughlin," this site shows the distribution of the name throughout Ireland and the meaning and history of the name (the site will do this for many other Irish names as well; I've also tried it for "Crowley," "Sullivan," and other family names).
Another fascinating website is for those of Fitzpatrick ancestry: http://www.fitzsoc.com/ . An interesting feature of this website is the DNA research that Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick is doing. Here is what is said about Dr. Fitzpatrick and her studies:
"The Fitzpatrick DNA study coordinator is Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick PhD, author of Forensic Genealogy and co-author of DNA & Genealogy. Colleen is actively recruiting new participants for the study. If you would like to participate in any of these studies you are invited to contact her at cfitzp@aol.com and you can visit her website at http://www.forensicgenealogy.info/"
