	Hi..when they send you their tree there is another search box..put the name of the person you think is connected in there.scroll down to say "search this tree".....then another part of the tree will open up. Suzanne

The is no concept of a 'link' with the person that you have been searching for, as Suzi says you have to go and find the person concerned by searching the other members tree yourself Sometimes changing to Ancestors or Descendants view can help you trace the lines up and down more easily than using Immediate Family View.
