The Parental Matching is a tool to help you split your match list into paternal and maternal matches. If that's not of use to you, then no need to identify who is who or to link them.
Hopefully most people will get into doing the Parental Matching so FTDNA can use the statistics to improve the range estimates, especially on endogamous populations.
