    Hi! I looks great and really got me started immediately. However, euroepan special-characters don’t work, neither is our qwerty-placement of special chars, such as “@”. And, I cannot get the mailverification to work.
    Heads up!

    Great project. Definatly will use it. But I have some questions: why in ‘spoken language ‘ settings there is no ‘latvian’? Also if I use name Krūmiņš – in tree view those non-latin letters disapears. Can You easely fix it? :)

  • Linda

    This is pretty cool! Will there be multi-language version out ? :P
    Anyway, I will look forward to more features :D

  • Timothy Moinat

    Great job,

    It would just be great to have an option to print the tree.
    Keep up the good work

    I can’t figure out how to delete someone from the tree once you’ve established a few relationships for them. The “x” is gone. seems you can only delete people who have only one relationship? help. i made a mistake and can’t fix it.

    Martin Edenström and ctrnz: We are currently working on multilanguage/special character support and should have a fix for you in a few hours. We’ll need your help to test out alternate keyboard layouts!

  • ctrnz

    Geni Team: Great – I can now see those non-latin characters! Thanks!
    What about my another question – possibility to add my native language – latvian? :)
    And once again – thanks for your effort!
