The worst of all of the sites I've tried The worst of all of the sites I've used. They constantly try to force you to use a flash interface. You can't import a GEDCOM file unless you pay because whilst it looks like you can if there are any kind of matches you cannot continue to import unless you decline or accept the matches which you can only do if you pay. It's almost impossible to use unless you want to allow them to use device fingerprinting. If you use any kind of privacy tool the site breaks. Practically any link or button you click leads to a promo to upgrade. The interface is ridiculous many buttons link to a different site with what appears no reason. Clicking on matches stays on geni.com clicking on smart matches in the same location leads to myheritage and it's not clear how these are linked or if it will update geni.com When you try to use help you also get redirected to a page that exclaims "Special Offer: Try Geni Pro for free!" So you have to sign up for support, you have to sign up to import, you have to sign up if you click a button or a link. You also need to sign up if you want to report a bug. This site is basically just one big promo to sign up for a service that still relies on flash.

Stay away form this one Stay away form this one. 120 Dollars each year, if you dont want to pay that amount, the site is useless. Dont waste your time posting your family three there. You have to pay 120 dollars every year if you want anything in return.

One of the BIGGEST genealogy scams on… One of the BIGGEST genealogy scams on the internet. I had no idea when I uploaded my tree that Geni allows others to make changes to it; others that are actually so far out related, they really know nothing about my family. Don't upload your tree! They allow others to make changes to it, and apparently, you can never delete it. Be aware that you can't delete your data!!!

This 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.

Speeds similar to dial-up circa 1995 I started a tree on the free version of Geni years ago but ignored it. Yesterday & today I began adding data and the site is extremely sluggish. Profiles won't open, pages freeze for more than 3 minutes, words typed in appear only after significant delay and the data isn't accepted by the site after lengthy 'processing' times. I tried over two days - 5 hours or so, but Geni is flat unusable. It's a shame because I like the interface, and I absolutely LOATHE Ancestry - who once tried to sell me my own images, the creeps. But if the 'lite' version of Geni is this bad, I def don't want to see the other side of the paywall.
