Geni is NOT connected with Genes Reunited in anyway. -----Original Message----- From: south-africa-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:south-africa-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Eira Makepeace via Sent: February-28-15 9:26 To: south-africa@rootsweb.com Subject: [SOUTH-AFRICA] Genes reunited I joined this site some years ago and managed to get a family tree online. It was free at the time but you could pay a small sum to join Geni pro. Then I saw that my data was being pinched from Geni and even translated into Afrikaans with SA Pama generation numbering and placed on the company website which I understand bought out Geni, called My Heritage. This site does charge a monthly fee but there is no ownership of the data. If you accept this and don't mind the rather clunky way of inputting your data and the difficulty of contacting Geni to amend or remove data, and don't mind if your data is filched by people you do do not know, go ahead.

Quite right but it will serve as a warning anyway. I do also belong to Genes Reunited and for the price it is a useful site albeit a bit hit and miss.
