E0312, C2664 Error When Trying to Pass a Vector Object as a Function Parameter

Question

I am currently working on a project for school. The code that I'm creating is a bank account system. To access different members, I am having the user input their member ID which gets passed as one of the parameters to a function called findMember .
Here's the function:

int findMember(vector<Member> patron, int memID)
{
    int vectorSize;
    vectorSize = patron.size();
    for (int index = 0; index < vectorSize; index++)
    {
        if (memID == patron[index].getMemberID())
            return index;
    }
}

Here's the vector:

vector<Member*> patron; // Vector to store the members.

Here's the function call:

int acctID, memberIndex;
cout << "Enter your Account ID: ";
cin >> acctID;

memberIndex = findMember(patron, acctID);   // Helps find the index if the current stored member.
patron[memberIndex]->menu();                // Opens the current members 
storage location.    

The error codes are these:

Error (active)  E0312   no suitable user-defined conversion from "std::vector<Member *, std::allocator<Member *>>" to "std::vector<Member, std::allocator<Member>>" exists
Error C2664 'int findMember(std::vector<Member,std::allocator<_Ty>>,int)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'std::vector<Member *,std::allocator<_Ty>>' to 'std::vector<Member,std::allocator<_Ty>>'

I have looked around the web for E0312 with no luck finding the reason why it gets thrown. C2664 had the same results. Where am I going wrong with my code?
Also, thanks in advance.

Thanks @2785528 for the response.

I was being inconsistent with the way I was passing the vector<Member*> . Once that error was fixed, all that was needed to be done was to change patron[index].getMemberID() to patron[index]->getMemberID() .
