Comments
Bennett Greenspan of FamilyTreeDNA is response to a question wrote: "There is no doubt that all of the men in this summary are closely related; especially the 4 who have 7's at DYS 459a. Of the nearly 20,000 people we have tested only .9 of 1% have a 7 at that position. Couple that together with the unusual 17 that all of these men have at DYS 19 and it drops to 7 men, 4 of whom are in this group (and 2 from a scientific study of Dr. Hammer)."
