Please stop the GEDCOMS?????

Basic Users CAN merge their own profiles, But you may need to provide them with this link explaining ways they can do merges: https://help.geni.com/hc/en-us/articles/229705547-How-do-I-merge-du...

Whenever I have been a free basic Geni user, I could not see the duplicates.
I have seen several basic users say in comments that they feel subscribers who pay for an account should merge the duplicates...
Crazy system.
Still better than FS for collaborative trees so I won't complain too much but, yeah.

I think another problem with the gedcom uploads is that many are unaware of the errors and extras they have in their tree.... I try to clean mine out and merge duplicates but it is not always so easy.
I had the numerous Moses Swaims sorted and with their families and then I mismerged a cousin's wife and ended up having to go and delete everyone not a direct to me because I did not know where I mismerged when I caught myself... There are pros and cons to every system.
Thankfully pencils have erasers but again, another reason to use Geni for your MAIN tree.
I invite people here a lot.
Gedcoms were not available when I started working on my tree here but I am aware they once were and is likely a popular enough option that someone thinks it is good. Ugh. Just lazy.... when most profiles re already here and all a Geni user needs to do is add a few generations and look to connect and merge.
IMHO.

I am referring to my tree at Ancestry and unable to undo a merge there.

Re: Basic Users -- no, basic users cannot see the suggested merges, they just get an ad for pro if they try.
The methods in that link work fine for Pro and Basic. Good for Pros when Geni is not suggesting a match they know are duplicates.
Keep in mind if you are ever Basic again, and let Basics know about it.
They can merge, they just cannot see what merges Geni is suggesting.

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087, Tree builder - folks are now uploading Gedcoms as a way - they are thinking - to sync their Tree at Geni with their updated tree elsewhere.
In my view, adding additional horrors.
And likely not even doing what they want, since the old version may well be chosen by Geni to be the Primary profile.

Thanks for clarifying that "ended up having to go and delete everyone not a direct to me" was talking about over at Ancestry, on your tree there. Had not realized till read your follow up comment and worked out what it was referring to.

lol, sorry Private User... I refused typing ion school because I said I would not wish to be a secretary and now we type everything so joke is on me... I have clumsy fingers and sticky keys.
Yes, I try to keep my trees good everywhere! But FS is a joke for some lines (Achilles Moorman is almost always at the top of the list of weekly changes there, and Robert Hicks-- all of them become one man...) and I always work and update FROM GENI to my other trees at Wikitree and Ancestry. On rare occasion I update to Geni FROM my Ancestry tree and did that with SWAIM but then I went and made a bad ancillary family member merge on Ancestry and could not fix it quickly so I just went and deleted profile by profile... If the tree is not correct, it is NO good.

So perhaps one day someone will allow to upload a gedcom to Ancestry from Geni. I would like that. FS allows sync/upload to Ancestry for LDS members but FS needs to start locking more profiles than just the rare famous profile, IMHO.

One can create a gedcom export from Geni, one can upload gedcoms to Ancestry.
Why are you suggesting you cannot upload a gedcom to Ancestry from Geni?

Quite sure some have done that and are then exporting that tree on Ancestry, after making changes, to a new gedcom and importing that back into Geni - a nightmare in my opinion
And if the Tree on Ancestry has good Documentation, the Profiles created on Geni have a whole lot of basically empty useless "Documents" created by the Gedcom update.

I have info on Geni, do not try to maintain a Tree anyplace else.- no way I have the energy.

Private User, news to me!
I create a little public tree at Ancestry and use it as my Gedcom for Gedmatch and call it This I Know
If you can export from Geni to Ancestry, I am surprised to hear... I do know there are many download and printer options that I have not utilized yet or fully taken advantage of but is because I am still working on some lines.. only so many hours... I have literally worked on the big tree at Geni almost every day for over a solid year, going on two.
If I can download a small gedcom so many generations, that would be preferable to me
