About

Geni is a collaborative genealogy platform that allows users to build and share family trees while contributing to a shared World Family Tree of over 200 million connected profiles. Users can search historical records, resolve duplicate profiles, and collaborate with researchers, historians, and volunteers worldwide. It offers both a free Basic account and a paid Pro subscription with advanced research tools.

Problem

Building a family tree individually is time-consuming and often duplicates work already done by others researching the same ancestry.

For

Families, genealogists, historians, and researchers interested in tracing ancestry

How it works

Users create profiles and family trees that are merged into a single collaborative World Family Tree, enabling millions of users to share discoveries, cite sources, and resolve duplicates together.
