Hello Kethy, I believe we can skip phasing in situations where three or more people share the same segment and ALL match each other on that overlapping/shared segment. Sincerely, Peter Peter J. Roberts

Peter: All FTDNA tells you is that there is a match on strand A or strand B at a certain location. Unless you phase the genomes you do not know if they all match on strand A or strand B or a combination of the two. Steven On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 8:28 AM, Peter J.
