GBJust 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.

GBOne 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!!!

GBOutdated Technology: MP Profiles w/o Sources While this review is present-dated, it represents long-term thinking. Geni.com utilizes long-outdated technology, which makes it cumbersome. MyHeritage (Geni's parent company) has shown no interest in upgrading the Geni.com technology—especially Overviews formatting plus the add/detach aspect. About three years ago, a MyHeritage rep once told me the company planned to roll Geni.com into MyHeritage. Nothing has changed since. I test-trialed MyHeritage and didn't like its appearance or functionality except for the processing speed, which is faster than Ancestry.com. Bottom Line: MyHeritage needs to upgrade its Geni.com ASAP or sell it to a company that will upgrade Geni.com's technology. If you're thinking of subscribing to being a Geni Pro member, don't expect all MP profiles to be sourced. In fact, too many have no sources included. It is a workplace site dependent on Pro members to help supply sources. That said, many MP person profiles starting ca. 1750 in British Colonial America going back to the early medieval era are quite helpful and sourced.

SEGeni 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!

GBI paid for a Geni Pro Account and have… I paid for a Geni Pro Account and have been locked out for the past 6 months. I get no response. You have somehow managed to Wipe out my correct e-mail address so that is one issue. With no phone number to contact you I feel that this is one big scam! It is now 10:43 pm I still can not get into my Geni. I believe your answers are computer generated and no one is actually looking into my problem You keep telling me you sent instructions to reset pass-word yet I get nothing! FINALLY help has arrived. I am able to log into my account.
