Indeed! I've been assisted by a number of cousins from around the globe that I've found in my search/research & who have aided me greatly.
Some of my finds, the Scottish, Irish, Ulster-Scots & English, were of no great surprise; but recently the discovery of more Dutch than I ever suspected (early founders of New Amsterdam), along with traces of Norwegian, Belgium, & French (a noble family that escaped the Spanish Inquisition into the Netherlands) was a great surprise, as was discovering distant cousins in both presidents Roosevelt's (FDR & Teddy), & to the Duke of Wellington (incidentally that line by the way also spawned a cousin who was an infamous pirate captain 
).
I can't wait to see what discoveries I make next!
