Ben straightened out a real mess for me where somehow (merges?) three different men by the same name (father, son and cousin) were seemingly married to the same woman.It seems the son and cousin did have wives by the same name (cousins?) but to further confuse the issue their children had become mixed together. Ben was able to straighten out the families when I was unable to get into the locked profiles. I simply told… Read the full story

Justin’s in-depth knowledge of just about every topic known to mankind means that he can be relied upon to provide sage like advice on everything from English grammar in the Elizabethan era to the mythology of ancient Summeria to how to switch my display settings so that the screen isn’t in Estonian!

I can not tell a specific story, I can just say, that Bjørn Brox is always there, when I need help. If I write to him whit a problem or question, he answers right away.

This is a rather simple story but I do owe Martin a great deal of appreciation for the work he has done so far. In my haste to post relatives there were several mistakes made on my part and built on by another Geni member that had posted some misinformation. Martin went back and brought each one forward that he found concerns with and together we were able to correct much of the family tree…. Read the full story

Kasutan juba pikemat aega Lauri Kreeni abi,kui on vaja mestida või on muu segadus puus. Tähtis on ainult täpselt selgitada ja profiilid ette anda, ja kõik saab alati korda. Olen talle väga tänulik! Submited by: Eike Koemets

I undertook a massive project to document my family tree, all of it and choose Geni.com over ancestry because it allowed me to actually connect with other family members. It all started when my mother was dying of cancer and gave me “the family files”….most of you probably understand that responsibility. But for me, it was even more of a challenge…you see my mother’s side of the family was very well documented and they were… Read the full story
