You can build your tree for free without limitations. http://help.geni.com/entries/471431-Is-Geni-free- Pro membership gives you a few added features, like enhanced search, support, priority gedcom export, etc. Most people just use Geni for free.<br /><br />As for the utility of the new dna integration, we'll have to see how it plays out. No other company with a large collaborative tree has done this before. My guess is that in areas where the tree is dense and well connected, you might be able to use the dna matches along with the relationship finder to pinpoint likely branches for finding a common ancestor. In other words, if you have an ancestor from some village, and so does someone else, it is more likely that your connected relationship to the other person, even if not yet by blood, will pass through the people in the village (because everyone there is connected by marriage, and probably by blood too, although the records might not be there to prove it yet).<br /><br />In any case, this is something a bit different from what exists on other sites, so I would encourage everyone to try it out, including especially US Colonial descendants, because those trees are very dense and well documented on Geni.Randy Schoenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12855025173204387728noreply@blogger.com
