Goan Ancestry
Goans are proud of their diverse ancestry and complicated as it gets, the good news is that they are one of the best recorded populations in the subcontinent. There are numerous people from around the globe who have contributed on Geni. Due to this collective effort, the documented records have now been visually translated here into branches of graphical trees, connected directly and indirectly. Although this free volunteering work is in progress, a lot has been achieved.
When Geni was launched online, for a few years there was a bug in the coding and hence profiles added by numerous people went on to one persons name with whom there was collaboration, luckily we have not lost those added profiles. However this does not underpin the efforts of everyone who had and continues to contribute in various forms and ways. There are those who have been adding profiles without connections, there are those who then understand and find the connections as they merge the profiles, there are those who find the external connections to the world tree, there are those who correct the spellings of names, ensure that information is relevant to the times of the person(s); example the titles during that times, the country of a place during that time, etc... So everyone's contributions as a team has produced the wonderful visual display of the Goan Family tree and its branches.
