Michael, the basic explanation of IBS addendums in children: #longer part of chromosome from father (real IBD from CA) ......ACTGATTGAACCCAACCCCCCCATGTGTCAA #(shorter) part of chromosome from mather IBS -- luckily this continues to match the (supposed) cousin ..........................................................................ACTTGTGTGTAGATCGATGCATCGATGCTAGCGTCATCGA This is very common in 0-1cM lengths. Your difference on gedmatch is over 10cM however, this likely means that the match is related to your daughter through your wife's side to (the cousing and your wife and your daughter have the 10cM segment in common).
