Sometimes it pays to enter a little extra

I really think I must be related to over 1/2 of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.  The other day I entered information on a Schlosser family.  This is NOT a direct line of mine, but I have several in my database.  Because of having so many, I went ahead and entered parents of the Schlosser...who didn't match any in the database.  I discovered the next generation of parents' names and enter them.  Still no matches.  Found another generation...they were in the database.  Related.  So the Schlosser marrying into the family was/is actually another cousin.  Distant cousin marrying a distant cousin.  I did not check to see if they were distant cousins of each other. There is a possibility of that.
