Greetings, I wanted to write in, in an effort to Honor our Curators. I am not so much interested in a free subscription, as I am to take time to acknowledge the good works of your Curator team overall. If you will notice, I have listed a few Curator names. I have not listed all who have suggested help, pointed me in the right direction, etc. I do not want to leave anyone out who has helped… Read the full story

When you need something done, Erica is your go-to-girl. Before the initiation of curators, we first started collaborating when I posted a distress note that I had merged the Mayflower passengers on my tree, and created a TOTAL mess. There were duplicates of around 20 for each person, and I was discouraged. Erica responded, and with the help of others, began the ardent task of unraveling the huge disarray of this historic tree. While I… Read the full story

On August 8, 2008 I joined Geni. I was very fortunate to have substantial amount of family information gathered by my aunt (Ruth H. Ashworth (Stevens) in the 1940’s and 50’s the old fashion way by mail. Some of my Great Great Aunts and Grandfather were still alive at that time. These boxes of information were then assembled and complied into a 150 page bound book in 1990 by my cousins brother in law, Richard… Read the full story

Hi, Geni community! Christmas time is coming nearer and Geni team remainds me of the “Curators Appreciation Month”. I like to appreciate Curator Jaak Tulp. Jaak has helped me in several times, when I have made errors in my family tree with my ancestors. Jaak knows very well the computer and he knows all about Geni. I appreciate the circumstance that he commands Germany perfectly (besides other languages). Jaak takes part in Geni as a… Read the full story

Fred does his best to personally welcome so many new Geni members in their own language that i’m sure many think he is part of the official welcoming committee! Fred was very helpful giving me good advice on building my Dutch family tree and is a shining example of how well Geni’s collaborative system can work when new members are greeted with a human voice.

As I’ve grown older I have become interested in my family ancestory. I cannot afford a long term monthly fee to trace this. When I first started on Geni June Barnes helped me with tree merges and Darlene Poppe gave me direction and information as well. Without their help I would not have been able to find the information I have nor learn the interesting and extensive history of my family. It’s still a work… Read the full story
