Non-Matches by cM - Blog entry by lkessler - 1 Feb 2017
Roberta Estes did the first analysis of this and asked someone to do the same thing for an endogamous population. I had that data and I felt I wanted to know as well. I did a blog post about it a few days ago that I titled Double Match Phasing for an Endogamous Population, but using the term “Double Match ...

Triangulation, Single Matching and Double Matching - Blog entry by lkessler - 27 Jan 2017
It seems like my last post was a bit confusing to many people. I expect that the way I drew the boxes (to be segments) and the way I connected them with lines (indicating matching) was not intuitive, and it did not allow people to see that Double Matching with two people actually triangulates.

Triangulation and Missing a-b Segments - Blog comment by lkessler - 15 Jan 2017
Joe,
I hope DMT will eventually be able to figure out likely MRCA's by segment on each half of each Chromosome pair. I think it will be possible with crossover locations and Double Match Groups but I won't know until I start the investigation and work out an algorithm.

I found out about this On December 29, when Martin Geldmacher of Germany requested a trial key for Behold on the Behold Download page. He wrote in the “Please let me know how you found out about Behold” box the following: I am trying to find a way to read/convert an old Gedcom 1.0 file (created by FHS). ...
