This is easy, but time consuming.

There are two separate tasks

Add your FastMail account as an IMAP account in Thunderbird. Create a new folder under your account in FastMail using Thunderbird. Select all the emails in the local folders and move them to the new folder in your FastMail account. Depending on your Internet connection and the number/size of the emails, expect it to take hours to days for all the messages to actually upload to FastMail.
Remove the POP account for your family member's old account in Thunderbird. In the FastMail web interface, go to Settings->Identities & Fetch and add the old account as a POP account.
