@June Dowdy​ If their name is in blue, it is a link to contact them. You can message them through FamilySearch messaging and/or some will have their email available or other contact info for the public to view and use.

also note - even though the messaging system is working just fine - there may be reasons your attempts to contact the other user may not always be succeful - and doesnt necessarily mean you are being ignored

 

a) the person may be deceased

b) the person may not be a regular active user of FamilySearch

c) The person may have a user account or email that has been deactivated or left unused.

 

but hopefully they do respond.

if their user id is indicative of their name - you also might wish to use other services to try and locate them - such as google, facebook or Linkedin.

Simple ...

.

Short Answer:

.

"Send" the User/Patron, that you have found, a 'Message' in/through "User Messaging" of 'FamilySearch'.

.

Just 'select' their "Contact Name" ANYWHERE you know it is; and, from the resulting "Pop-up" (ie. "Modal") 'Window'; then, go down to the bottom, 'select' the "Send a Message" link ...

.

User with few details ...

.

User/Patron with much details ... including an "E-mail" Address ...

[ Where you can even send them an "E-mail" ... ]

.

Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

.

How do I send a message to someone who contributed to Family Tree or Memories?

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

.

But ...

That said ...

.

Just to give you a 'Heads Up' ...

.

Please be aware that we DO NOT always get responses to a 'Messages' in/through "User Messaging" of 'FamilySearch' (or, even, direct, "E-mails") that we send.

.

Sometimes, there is NO response ...

.

There are many reasons for NO response:

[ some; but, NOT limited to ... ]

The User/Patron:

▬  has Died/passed away themselves

▬  is not aware of; and/or, does not know how to use,

... "User Messaging" of 'FamilySearch' (and, for some "E-mails")

▬  is an infrequent User/Patron of "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'

▬  may have STOPPED using "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'

▬ may simply choose NOT to respond

.

I hope this helps.
