Yesterday, I selected the 'in common with" tool on ftdna, and to my surprise it gave me a cousin already-known who is not matched by dna but is matched by listed surnames/location. Is this normal? Never had it before! John Fletcher

Sorry Ann! Should have been more precise. I took a match, Reg, from my match list and clicked icw. I got one result, Cheryl, also a match to me but NOT a match to Reg, even down to 1cM. I always thought the icw matches would match both me and the selected person(Reg in this case), though as you say not necessarily on the same segment. All Reg and Cheryl had in common, apart from being known cousins(but not dna matches) was their descent from the same surname/location as listed in family finder. John
