Editor's Verdict:

Geni.com is a fantastic, multi-million dollar project, which successfully combines a traditional 'family-tree' site with a social-networking site. With a vast range of features available on the site, complete with an extremely effective family tree generator, we really loved what Geni.com has to offer. With free membership too, there's little not to love about Geni.com! The site provides a fantastic digital space in which to build your family tree and allows you to invite your family onto the site to contribute to your growing tree. What's more, if you've already started a tree on another site or with offline software, you can import your existing tree in GEDCOM format. Fantastic!

It's clear from using Geni.com that the site is really intended for, and benefits from, the inclusion of a wide range of family members in order to get the best out of what it has to offer. Geni.com allows users to open up access to their family tree to family members in order that they can contribute their family knowledge to what has already been discovered. Geni.com allows other users to share family photos and videos, by attaching them to the family tree at relevant points. All users who have contributed in some way to the family tree will then receive notification of new additions to the site, so that everyone remains involved with the project. Geni.com really does allow users to preserve their family history for generations of their wider family to view and enjoy, and we really loved what it had to offer.

More importantly, Geni.com allows users to merge their family tree with that of other Geni.com users where their family trees share common members. This is known as 'the big tree' and allows users to discover ancestors they never even knew they had! Geni.com cleverly allows users to maintain their set privacy settings despite this sharing of family tree information, by ensuring that only certain pieces of information are shared with other users (such as name, birth date and date of death), if this is what you prefer. With the possibility of other users adding videos and photos, if their privacy settings allow, you can virtually meet new family members, and perhaps even get in contact if they provide a contact address.

We were very impressed by the range of features that are present on Geni.com, which combine to make it a really top-notch free site. If all this sounds like what you are looking for, give it a go by hitting the link below!
