Yes, this is what happened in 2005, when a relative contacted me.

Btw, I've found my LDS login details, but I can't save Mary Jane LEWIS to my tree so that I can just add the records that you have sent me.  Once I can master it, Duffield descendants will also be able to find me via familysearch.
It was a sheer fluke that I found her on her older brother's wedding as a witness, then found her wedding in Belfast on 28 Oct 1878.  Without any births found or Irish census records, I guessed that they had emigrated, but didn't know where, until a Google search found them on a published family tree of her daughter, Annie.
