**Geni.com: Building the World's Largest Collaborative Family Tree** Geni.com is a genealogy platform dedicated to creating what it calls the "World Family Tree" - a massive, collaborative genealogical database that aims to connect every person on Earth through their ancestral relationships. The site's primary purpose is to move beyond traditional individual family research by pooling millions of users' genealogical data into one comprehensive, interconnected tree. Rather than having countless separate family trees that duplicate research, Geni envisions a single collaborative platform where users can discover new connections, verify existing information, and contribute to a growing global family network. The platform boasts impressive statistics that demonstrate its scale and ambition: over 205 million profiles are currently connected in their World Family Tree, with more than 80,000 distinct genealogy projects in their database. What sets Geni apart from other genealogy sites is its emphasis on collaboration and accuracy through community involvement. The platform employs volunteer curators worldwide who help resolve collaboration issues, maintain historical profile guidelines, and assist users with complex genealogical challenges. Additionally, Geni partners with MyHeritage to provide Smart Matches™ and record matching services, automatically cross-referencing profile data against billions of historical documents to support users' research with verifiable sources. Geni's commitment to global accessibility is particularly noteworthy - the platform offers native translations in over 150 languages, accomplished not through automated translation tools but through dedicated volunteers who translate content into their native tongues. This approach reflects the site's understanding that genealogy is inherently cultural and that accurate, culturally-sensitive translation is essential for meaningful international collaboration. The platform offers both free basic accounts and Geni Pro subscriptions, with unlimited profile creation for all users, advanced source citation capabilities, tree matching features, and access to discussion groups where the global community can seek help and share research insights. This comprehensive approach positions Geni as more than just a genealogy website - it's presented as a collaborative historical project aimed at documenting and connecting human heritage on an unprecedented scale.
