Won't give money back and no contact whatsoever Seems I was a numpty and signed up for the free trial with this lot and thought I'd put reminder in my calendar to cancel before the14 days was up. Didn't get my notice and they took the money from my account. I have now been trying to contact them to cancel and get a refund by sending emails and logging a ticket but without a reply. They have taken more than GBP100 for a worthless subscription. Don't be silly like me and even try them because as others have said there isn't anything worth trying. Out of all the Ancestry/DNA websites out there, Geni is by far the worst.

Geni Vs MyHeritage Originally I signed up for MyHeritage. Printing from that site wastes a lot of paper because you do not seem to be able to control the size of type or space between people, so reports can be hundreds of pages long - most of it white space but the functionality of creating a tree is good. The functionality of Geni however is poor. It seems impossible to delete a relationship if you make a mistake. Many functions are not accessible from the menus, you have to dig around for them or search Help - the site lacks logic and seems as if it was put together in the 1980s and not changed since. It's a poor database implementation (I used to be a DBA). Never got as far as the reporting facilities. Cancelled my subscription and closed the account. If you are on a tight budget, there's a good chance you will regret signing up for Geni.com

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.

Don't waste your money!! Don't waste your money!!! Some people have to follow the rules while others don't. I have been a paying member since 2018 and am not renewing. Customer service allows the same person to create duplicates and not add any information but then they become a manager of that profile. I now have family that have children before they were even born or spouses added that are not correct and data conflicts all over the place because of this person. Customer service is a joke!!
