You can compare all three scenarios in WATO by putting in three different hypotheses. That's what it was designed to do!

Have you checked out RootsFinder? It creates two different types of clustering visuals and has filters. So many great options!

Louis, you said "One of the techniques I’m looking at is to start big (as far as segments go) with the largest triangulations and work your way back in time by finding smaller segments with triangulations of additional people." I'm curious how successful you've been with that. Yes, a "pileup" segment might ...

There is a third possibility: Triangulated segments could be identical by descent, but not by descent from a recent common ancestor. This most often happens in endogamous populations, where individuals are related to one another multiple ways. For example, you and a match may have identified your most recent ...

Quick note: At 23andMe, you don't need to ask one of the matches to confirm that they share a segment in the same place. You can compare them directly to one another from your own account.
