I have found a genealogy that overlaps with mine, and I would like to brainstorm with that submitter. Is this possible, obviously with approval of both parties?

    That feature has been available just about as long as FamilySearch has existed

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-contact-or-message-a-user-who-contributed-to-family-tree-or-memories

    The Help center is always a great place to find answers to questions like that

    actually now that I re read your question - I might have given the wrong answer

    are you referring to family Tree? or are referring to the old Pedigree Resource File - now called "genealogies"

    I was assuming you were referring to Family Tree

    I will see about the PRF (genealogies). - but many of the submitters of the PRF - have long been deceased - the PRF goes back various decades.

    Note - Family Tree is a collaborative database - people really don't have private trees per se.

    But people do have private standalone trees in the PRF ("Genealogies") section.
