I am doing genealogical research SINCE about 1969. Since then I've always been a helper to others in their research for their ancestors. I had my first experience with a wiki-based global collaboration genealogy site on WeRelate.org (about 2 million profiles). WeRelate had big problems because of the many duplicates, caused by gedcom uploads. I was there one of the top 5 mergers to solve the problems. I also have experience with a little similar site, Familypedia (about 100,000 profiles). I learned there the wiki-techniques to display genealogies and became there also one of the top 10 users. In the recent years I was an active administrator of the multilingual Rodovid wiki-genealogy site (about 500,000 profiles) in the Dutch and German location and a co-administrator in the English location and general (engine) location. On Geni I started april 2007, but caused by personal circumstances (severe illness) I was inactive untill the 11th of september 2011. Geni is a big challenge because there are so many users and profiles, so we can really speak of a global genealogysite. That creates opportunities for as well as passive users, as for active users, but also for Geni as worldtree site. As curator, I was nothing more than other users, an basic user or a pro user. I only had easier access to data and I had many more tools, so I could help others working on Geni. As a curator I was here for all users, to make them have more fun and to give them more possibilities to work useful on and with Geni.
Geni still has much trouble, caused by earlier mass upload of gedcom files with many duplicates, incorrect family relationships and wrong merges. Geni is working to overcome these problems by properly merging of the many duplicate profiles and correction of erroneous parents and partners. The software is constantly being improved by Geni, firstly to avoid futural false and erroneous merges, secondly to make it possible to undo wrong merges and relationships more easily. I'm sorry that I have no longer the possibility to help Geni to improve the site.

IK KAN OP GENI IN HET GEHEEL NIET MEER COMMUNICEREN MET ANDERE GEBRUIKERS, NIET MEER AAN DISCUSSIES DEELNEMEN, GEEN UITNODIGINGEN MEER VERSTUREN VOOR SAMENWERKING OF TOEVOEGING AAN EEN FAMILIEGROEP OF VOOR EEN PROJECT. WEL KAN IK UITNODIGINGEN ACCEPTEREN DIE U MIJ STUURT EN BERICHTEN LEZEN DIE U MIJ STUURT, MAAR ALS U NANTWOORD WILT DAN MOET U ER UW EMAILADRES BIJ VERMELDEN!

Wie vragen aan mij heeft kan mij mailen via fredbergman1941@gmail.com omdat ik mijn guestbook en Genisite berichten niet gebruik.
