I have seen a family tree listed on Geni, I recognise the names and wish to contact the owner

When you go into the profiles on the tree, do you see the same manager listed in many profiles? If you click on the name, you'll get their profile -- and from that page, you can send them a message.

Or if the same person added a lot of the profiles, you can try to contact them.

this won't work if they're no longer active, of course, but it's a way to try to get a dialog going.

cheers, Anne

By the way - on Geni, there is no such thing as being the "owner" of a tree - it is a collaborative site, no ownership of trees. But Anne's suggestions on how to locate and contact someone who is or has been active on - and so may care about - the profiles you are interested in is good.

Thank you Anne and Lois, I was not sure of the terminology used on this site.
Is there a list of terms used located somewhere on Geni.

There are sites that do have one person who is "owner" or in charge of a Tree. And sometimes folks starting a Tree here assume this site works that way - occasionally resulting in major trauma when they slam into the fact that it doesn't. Didn't mean to make you self-conscious or worried over your terminology, just wanted to make sure we were on the same page.

Are the account managers of a family tree related to the account managers? I'm trying to get in touch a Audrey Moore account manager of my great grandma Mary Drew , Henry Starnes., She is my grandfather's mother.

As I tried to explain above, there is no such thing as Account Managers of Trees on Geni.
If you are asking if the Manager of a Profile is necessarily related to the Profile -- no. No need for them to be blood kin or spouse of blood kin.
This explains how to find out how two profiles are connected on Geni: https://help.geni.com/hc/en-us/articles/229703047-How-To-Find-Other...

By the way - do you really want your email posted in a Public Discussion that everybody in the world can see?

If you use the pushpin, you currently are told
Audrey Moore is Mary Drew Henry Starnes' husband's fourth great niece.

I did see that. Audrey Moore is a niece. We just had a Henry Family reunion July 1-5 2022. I just wanted to connect with this person. We are related.
Can I delete my email from the public?

You'll need to delete the whole message to remove your email. You'll find the delete option just below your name on the individual message.
