Once you start building your online tree, other members with the same individuals in their trees will be able to make connections. To increase your chances, don't just put up your direct ancestry but also add their siblings and their descendants too if you wish. Just by doing that, I have had incredible success in contacting and being contacted by distant cousins, close cousins and even half-siblings!
