Do you mean he has posted on a GR board? If so, follow Nameslessone's advice - click on his name in green at the top of his post, and send a message.

Do you mean you have found his name in "Search all member trees" (under "Search" at top right of this page) ?
Click on "Find out more" to the right of the entry, and send a message to the tree "owner" - whether that's your brother or someone else.

If you've found him on Electoral Rolls (under "Search"), click on the document symbol to the right of the entry to see the full address, and if he's listed there recently, try sending a letter in case he's still living there.


If you've "found details" in some other way, please be specific so that we can help you.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Do you mean on here. If so, click on the name eg Sally. If they are still members the box that opens will show the name.
You can then send a pm. If they have kept their email address up to date then Genes will notify them.
