Is there a list of pilgrims? Trying to locate someone

My spouse walked the camino, completing it about 6 weeks ago. There is one person she met that she intended to stay in touch with, but they separated one afternoon and never saw each other again. She didn't get an email or even a last name, so it's going to be tough to reconnect. I doubt that there is any kind of public list of pilgrims who walked the camino, and when they started or ended? I thought I'd ask here just in case.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Altus ANDES 400 H30 sleeping bag
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
Thanks Madidi. That person is not on that list (which seems to be a tiny subset of Camino folk). I guess the official list is not published?
 
I think that we all have missed at some point to exchange addresses with people we would love to recontact, but a "Camino databank" to make us even more transparent to NSA, Google and other Data-gobblers is a horror vision. Let's preserve the Camino as a bastion to where we can escape for a few weeks in total privacy, disclosing our identity only to those we actively choose. To be just another pilgrim amongst others, to be our true selfs without fear of becoming vulnerable to exploitation, this is what makes the Camino so special.The Camino to become another Facebook nightmare? NO thanks!

Buen Camino

2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

I don't think that information would be available, Data protection laws, maybe the other person do not want to be in touch, I would not dream of registering on a open forum.

I think this situation has happened to a lot of us... But sometimes you meet people in the strangest places so there is always the chance to meet again. Especially on the Camino, when people generally notice what is happening around them, unlike our busy everyday lives when everyone is preoccupied with browsing the Internet on their phones.
 

Until now there has been no searchable database of the names of pilgrims arriving in Santiago.
