Oops...not on the exact pair of the same chromo, of course!

I match two of my cousins on the same segment on the same chromosome, but one is from my mother's line and one from my dad's as they are known cousins and my parents aren't related. If this fits your needs, I can send more detail.

You would have to look at a chromosome browser that shows the fully identical (double-stranded) segments. This is one more reason to have these kinds of browsers made more readily available by the testing companies. This is the only situation that I can think of that would cause a complete four-way match. > > I think that if everyone matches everyone else and you have a robust > match with all four people with no full matching, and no endogamy or consanguinity, then you are most likely dealing with a single lineage and not the above situation. > > But when dealing with a close-knit heavily drifted community, I would still be on the look-out for these rare birds. I have certainly heard of cases where ALMOST everybody matched everybody else. There could have been threshold issues, mutations, SNP poor regions, errors, IBS etc. instead of IBD endogamy but how would you know if you don't look at the phased raw data and pinned the segment on a specific ancestor? A situation where there are multiple matches, but not sharing with everyone might be: AD, AC, BC, AB, CD, BD. Each of the 6 people matches with four other people and does not match with one. It could fool you into believing that everyone comes from the same MRCA even though there are four ancestors that provided matching segments within the same two position numbers. We all know of groups of ancestors who were highly proliferative. > > It is extremely important to make sure that everyone matches everyone > else as you say when dealing with 4 or more people. But with 3 people, there is no guarantee you have a single ancestral line (even if they do all match each other) without phasing them and/or clear identification of the line. > > People need to study this further in a real life situations.
