Geni is what you may be searching for Geni is an incredible company. Their website is pretty old and rusty by now and not much have changed throughout the last years. But the Geni community is what makes Geni a fierce competitor and a great genealogy site. But all features of the Geni tree are working well and probably the best on the market. Since Geni offers a Wikipedia like approach and many unique ways of displaying information. The staff of Geni are also very supportive and will do much to satisfy their users. A symbiotic relationship is what you will find if you hop on Geni!

So wrong So wrong. Incorrect info.

Just don't sign up. Poor functionality and underhand charging. Extremely limited functionality unless you put in card details and then they take a YEAR'S subscription if you don't cancel? Arguably it's my fault for allowing myself to fall into the trap, but it is still a trap. A monthly charge I could live with as that's quite normal, if still underhand, but £105 is completely unscrupulous.

Think 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.

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.
