I’ve just recently started the phase in my genealogy search where you contact distant
cousins to exchange family information. It’s a fun phase!, and not just because of
the enlightening genealogy information and ancestral photos that turn up. It’s neat
to see how we’re related and think about all the other folks out there who could by
my cousins.

This is what reverse genealogy is all about: finding cousins, sharing family information
and memories, and breaking down research brick walls. 

It’s starting with your ancestors and working forward in time to find living
relatives (the reverse of what genealogists typically do).
