Is there a way of listing all the names a member who you have previously had contact with, has in their tree with a certain name, even though they havent opened their tree to you?

I'm not sure what you hope to achieve..........a list of names someone else has collected is unlikely to be of any benefit to you...or perhaps I have misunderstood what you are asking...........

If you go to "search trees" and type in the name and dob of the person in the tree, it will give you a list of people who have the same person in their tree and tell you whether or not you've had contact with them.
Is that what you mean?

If they were all born in the same place you can put in the surname and place of birth and no birth date in the search trees, but if it's a very common surname you will get too many

I've done that for a small village where a lot of my family came from.

The person I have found on here is not a relative of mine, she was my bridesmaid 36 years ago and I have lost touch with her.
I have sent her a pm but there has been no response.
i cannot remember the first name of the person she married, but from this site have got her married name.
