    To point you to the Familysearch messaging feature - you can access it in top right - the little chat icon between the question mark and the bell icons - of the window.

    Once in messaging you can type in the To: field the username and then input the Message below.

    Unfortunately, there is a restriction that you will only be able to send to users you have initially messaged through their contact link in the FamilyTree.

    I hope this helps!
