Removing Connections under Relationships Tab when Editing a Profile

Good suggestion, I'll get it added.

thanks - that has been one of the time wasters when merging from the tree.

Angus Wood-Salomon, thank you for bringing this up again.

Thanks, Noah Tutak, for your responsiveness. This will be a huge help!

I have also run into this problem. This will be a welcomed addition to the editing process. Thanks!

I have desisted from merging into other peoples trees. It just takes too much time, and it is not easy, with, as you say, very often insufficient info available to facilitate the process. I hope Geni realizes they have to facilitate these processes if they want us to pay for the privilege.

Geni does realize it and if you read the blog (link at footer of page), you will see that they have been on a rapid release track of enhanced software. I worked in IT many years and understand the effort it takes to build a platform, from scratch, in less than 3 years, with 45 million profiles, world wide distribution, etc. etc.

On the "people" side in less than a month they've provided enhanced tools to 40 curators from the user community, who also try and provide some help on actual genealogical issues.

Did I mention the basic price is no dollars, no cents, which worked fine to build out my family tree back to the middle ages in six months, with more data and detail than my family was able to do in a lifetime?

I agree with Erica. There is a real give and take with Geni. It's an amazing unique tool and it's getting better and better. We need the tools to keep coming.

I started my tree a few years ago with a family tree that went back to William White, who came over on the Mayflower. The tree was literally two people for every generation. I put all of that into Geni and went sideways a lot. Then, linked the tree with the big tree and what I know about my family now is amazing. I don't mind putting the time into something that gives back more than 100 fold.

@Maria - your tree is already connecte to the Big Tree and your profiles will eventually be merged into other duplicates. More here:
