Can you add kins from afar?

Or do I have to add them by hoping they show up in bump in to them? I got killed by russians and I want to kin the few friends I had

If you know how to contact them then you can ask for their homestead secret. If you have absolutely no clue how to get a hold of them then you pretty much have to go searching....
