This project is a meeting place for users who share the R-Z275 Y-DNA haplogroup, which means they are related along their paternal lines. Users in this group may want to share their family trees with each other to find overlaps and merge duplicate profiles in order to join or expand the World Family Tree and discover new relatives.

R-Z275 is dowstream from U152.
R-U152 is defined by the presence of the marker U152, also called S28.[7] Its discovery was announced in 2005 by EthnoAncestry[55] and subsequently identified independently by Sims et al. (2007).[48] Myres et al. report this clade "is most frequent (20–44%) in Switzerland, Italy, France and Western Poland, with additional instances exceeding 15% in some regions of England and Germany."[31] Similarly Cruciani et al. (2010)[56] reported frequency peaks in Northern and Central Italy and France. Out of a sample of 135 men in Tyrol, Austria, 9 tested positive for U152/S28.[57] Far removed from this apparent core area, Myres et al. also mention a sub-population in north Bashkortostan, where 71% of 70 men tested belong to R-U152. They propose this to be the result of an isolated founder effect.[16] King et al. (2014) reported four living descendants of Henry Somerset, 5th Duke of Beaufort in the male line tested positive for U-152.[58]
