My brother, sister-in-law, and husband all have accounts but I don't know how to find them to send them messages etc.

There is an easy way, and then there's the hard way that I know of.

Easy way - Contact your brother, SIL, and husband for their BT handle/name.

Hard way - In the "user information" box at the upper left of any BT page, click on the linked number, ex. "There are 441 other users online", which goes to this page -
http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/statistics/whos-online.asp

Then scroll all the down to the bottom of the page and click on the "User Listing" link -
http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/statistics/user-listing.asp

Click on each BT user name, and on that user's blog you may see if the person posted their real name.

Happy Searching.

Unless Marmadaddy and/or Ron have a better search engine, post this question here to see if they have a possible better answer -

This thread has odd timing after the "hookup" thread in COJ.
Stalker?

start a thread with their real names in the subject line and say WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

or, just ask them their user name....careful though, that could be really really easy and may not be as fun as other methods

Agreed, the easiest way is to just ask them their handle.

Another possibility that *might* work is to go to the user listing here.  Then click on the 'location' button.  Check to see if any users show up in the cities that your friends live in.

I have to say the "search for a user" by location is tricky.  I couldn't find myself, nor anyone else in my city.  Even though I know they are out there...

If you know the BT name you can find them through add friends. 
Go to "setting" up top left. 
Click on "Training Blog Customization"
Go to "Friends"  should be second one in from left. 
YOu can add your friend like me now.  Click on the little square with the "..." it will bring up a search.  Type in name.  Click on your new buddy and it will add to your home page. 
Add a bunch most people are nice, we chase the riff, raff away.

Do you know what races they've done?  You might be able to find them by searching race reports for the race name.  That ought to narrow things down quite a bit.
