CAThis is a tree program rather than a research program I subscribe to 3 genealogy sites. This is my favourite "tree" site, better than Ancestry and Myheritage. It allows merging within your tree and others. They also give you hints to similar trees. It is best to consider it a non-research site and then you will not be disappointed.

PHGeni is one big cash grab Geni literally promotes itself as having one family tree that connects all of humanity, but to be able to join that one family tree, I have to purchase a PRO subscription (costs $119.40 per year). Their business model is about PAYWALLING the ability the join the one family tree that it is famous for, effectively making it a CRIPPLEWARE. Their goal is to not help people explore their ancestors in one giant family tree, but rather gather as much REVENUE and PROFIT as they can. Geni is a CASH GRAB.

FRComplete rubbish and just money making Complete rubbish and just money making. 'Hints' to records that make no sense or match anyone. Other users 'hijacking' my tree and adding people, facts, records etc. which are of no relevance to me and my family. I wish, wholeheartedly, I had never seen it or got involved. I would delete my tree if I could find out how to do so. It is an incredibly amateur and difficult, confusing site to use. 'Help' and 'Customer Support' is non-existent. Don't bother with it!

BEThink twice before investing in a DNA kit with Geni I have been a long time member of Geni.com, which is currently owned by the private company MyHeritage. Geni offers so-called MyHeritage DNA kits, and I bought one through MyHeritage. However, when I tried to upload my data to Geni, I received the message that DNA kits bought on MyHeritage cannot be uploaded on Geni. I am very disappointed, because DNA kits from other (external) companies like Family Tree DNA can be imported, but their own Myheritage DNA kits not. Other Genealogy companies like Geneanet DO offer the option to upload DNA from MyHeritage, AncestryDNA, Living DNA, etc... I have therefore decided to abandon my Geni & MyHeritage accounts, and to transfer all my data to Geneanet.
