Here’s what consumers have asked with answers from Geni staff and previous consumers.
Geni doesn't accept any critical comment about the site, the customerservice or the management. Geni has regarding that the mentality of North Korea! Every free user, paying user and even every curator who publish negative comment will be suspended and indefinitely blocked to work on Geni!
You can't work with curators... One of them plagiarized my entire tree into the "World Family Tree" and is now telling me that it cannot be "undone"... And that I should just "deal with it"...
Hi Marge, there are dozens of "review" sites on the Internet and we've only just recently starting replying here. Anyone needing help from Geni should start at https://help.geni.com
Bubba - you sound like a paid employee of GENi. I have been doing research for years. I DO NOT include information that cannot be verified. Yes - Ancestry is barely better than this one, but at least the have a minimal type of security. They also sold Family Tree Maker to a company out of India. If you had some type of credit with FTM such as another download or transfer - its gone, the new owners will not acknowledge it. GENi is probably the biggest scam I have noticed since Billy Graham.
Hi, we see the Ubaldo surname most frequently in the Philippines. You may be able to get more information from the surnames page at https://www.geni.com/surnames/ubaldo (note that with a free account you can contact our other members at no charge, so you can get in touch with the collaborators on that page, and the managers of the profiles tagged to the page)
Hi Donna, No - absolutely not. Geni is owned by MyHeritage so our data is shared internally within the company, but private information is kept private through MyHeritage as well, and not sold or given to any other organizations. The only exception to this would be cases where you authorize an external application, such as a tree charting companion, to view your private tree. This would be a specific consent form that you would have to authorize.
You can join Geni for free, build your family tree as large as you want for free, contact other members and participate in discussions and projects for free. Geni does have a few premium features (most notably our advanced search engine and our automated tree matches) that you may run into, but you are under no obligation to pay for Geni Pro.
