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!!!

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.

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.

Account deletion I had not used Geni.com for over 8-10 years so I decided to ask for it to be completely deleted including all the profiles I had set up. Their team was super quick in helping me achieve this. Thank you

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!!
