A change was made to an ancestor by a person "WA Williams60". I would like to contact him to ask about his research about this family. I received an email that said he added a wife and her ancestors. I am excited, but I would like to know about his proof.

How do you contact a contributor? It is really difficult to figure out how to navigate this site.The family I am researching is Robert Black b 1787 and lived in Lawrence Tennessee. That family is on the 1850 census and also the 1840 census. James M Black b 1822 is my ancestor and his brother is John D Black, b 1834.

Just click on the contributor name - and an option for messaging the person is available

see sample screen shot attached.

 

 

also as to "navigating" - what is it about navigating you find challenging?

Use "User Messaging" in "FamilySearch".

.

That is a way to "Contact" ANY User/Patron, that adds any detail/information to an (in fact, any) individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

But ...

That said ...

.

Be prepared to NOT get a response, there are many reason for this, the prime one being that the User/Patron may have died/passed away.

.

Just select the "Contact Name" of the User/Patron who made made/added any detail/information, pictorially:

.

.

Think of that "Contact Name" being that of another/any User/Patron, rather than "FamilySearch"; and, select that.

.

.

Select the "Send a Message".

.

.

Then, complete the message and send, done, as easy as that.

.

I hope this helps.
