David, ever so often the genealogy lines relate what surnames they are researching. I have been on Sebastian County line for almost year and half. After I started doing the obituaries, we had a roll call of surnames researching, and I had a response from a TAYLOR subscriber, and found we are fourth cousins. His gr/gr/grandfather was my gr/grandfather's brother. So sometimes we find some of the lines we are looking for. I guess this is what you were asking.
