when I get a dna match and I follow the path of how we are related it always goes through my mother. Some of these matches could be on my father's side. My dad is deceased. The path shown is ridiculous. You are related through your great aunt's cousins nieces uncles brothers. I found DNA Gerber from my dad's side but the related path is crazy. Thanks

Is there a path ON GENI thru your father to that profile?
Is it shorter than the path ON GENI thru your mother?

If not, then Geni is doing what it is supposed to do.

If the answer to both the questions is 'yes' - then you can may be able to teach Geni that path - by clicking on your father, and seeing that Geni identifies him as your father, then click on the next profile in the path from you to the target profile, going thru your father, and seeing that Geni identifies that relationship correctly, then click on the next and then the next until you finally reach your target profile, having gone slowly thru all the profiles in the path from you to that profile( traveling thru your father).
