see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.datatable.rows(v=vs.110).aspx

something like
PersonID = dt.Rows(0).Columns(0)
LastName = dt.Rows(0).Columns(1)

Here is how I would approach it:
//select record(s) to data rows
DataRow[] childRow = dt.Select("PersonId = 4");
//if at least one record is found
if(childRow.Any())
{
    //copy rows to a datatable
    DataTable childDt = childRows.CopyToDataTable();
}

Open in new window



or, if you just want the First and Last name, you can do:

var test = from row in dt.AsEnumerable()
                    where row.Field<int>("PersonId") == 4
                    select new {First = row.Field<string>("FirstName"), Last = row.Field<string>("LastName")};
