Remember that you'll only see shared matches when both of you share more than 20cM with the other "cousin".
The shared matches with your match are the most powerful information for solving your DNA dilemmas. You can read about AncestryDNA's match categories and how much DNA you'll share with each HERE. Endogamy, close relationships and multiple relationships will impact on the shared DNA. It's also useful to think about the age of your match as this may kelp you work out your potential relationship. You're interested in the shared DNA, number of segments and longest segment that you share with your match. The smaller the shared DNA with your match, the greater the number of potential relationships. Alway consider the range of possible relationships with your matches. The relationships shown are predicted relationships and, other than for a parent/child or full sibling, there are ranges of relationships for each of your matches.
