Yes it's possible to pass the same strain of cold virus back and forth between people and family members.

Although usually people are suffering from a different strain of cold virus than you are so usually you're not passing the same cold virus on to one another.

If you catch a cold again then you've likely caught a different strain of the cold virus instead of the same strain of the cold virus.
