I have two shared segments from GEDmatch: 9: 132.2-137.0 at 16.9cM 9: 131.4-136.0 at 10.0cM So it appears there is a very narrow cM pile-up area... (or a typo...)

Ah, now there's another interesting observation. Pile ups. There's a group of 4 that triangulate on this segment. The common ancestors I've identified with the other kit were born c.1800 in Banffshire, Scotland. Seems a bit unusual to find two other kits who can match on just this segment. But I didn't think you were a great believer in pile-ups, Jim?

Chromosome 9 has a history of giving some unusual / flawed results. Two or three years ago Ftdna did a revision of their software so it would supposedly handle chromosome 9 better.
