Greg, could you just confirm whether the people who tested positive for Z131 could have been closely related to each other?

Magoon Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2011 7:12 PM To: y-dna-haplogroup-i@rootsweb.com; genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com Subject: [yDNAhgI] Z131 confirmed I'm pleased to convey news that the researcher responsible for the DF series of Y-SNPs has been able to confirm the Z131 variant (downstream of I-M253 and parallel to DF29); he tested DF29- samples for Z131 and found both ancestral and derived results (Z131- and Z131+). With the lack of derived Z131 results from FTDNA, I was starting to get concerned that this could be a spurious variant

Hi Dora, To the best of my knowledge, they are not closely related to each other.
