Are you looking for a way to bring your family together and create a family tree that they can contribute memories, photos and videos? Well, there is a simple solution with the web application Geni. There are plenty of sites out there where you can publish your family tree for public consumption but for some family members they don’t want their information floating around in internet space for the world to see. Geni, on the other hand, is a private family tree where members are invited through their email addresses. Best of all it is free!
Geni describes itself as follows.
Geni lets you create a family tree through our fun simple interface. You can expand your tree by adding relatives’ email addresses. They will be invited to join your tree and can add other relatives. Your tree will continue to grow as relatives invite other relatives.
Each family member has a profile which can be viewed by clicking their name in the tree. This helps family members learn more about each other and stay in touch. Family members can also share photos and work together to build profiles for common ancestors.
Geni is private. Only the people in your family tree can log in to your tree and your profile. Geni will not share your personal information with third parties. We will not sell your email address or spam you. Users control which communications they would like to receive from us.
