My cousin's wife started a family tree on Geni beginning with our grandparents. She sent me an invitation, from the site, to complete my section of the tree. The basic updates were quick and painless. From my section, I could also add family up the tree on my Mother or Wife's side of the family. You can only view people within your own tree. I can browse back through her family. I don't think there is a way to link trees that have not been populated by you or by someone added to your tree via an invite. We could be related and never know it. :~/

How's this for a coincidence: I spent part of last Saturday reading some old family letters, many dating to the 1880's. Using the magic of Google, I searched on a couple of names and dates only to find that someone else had done a whole lot of geneological research - and that I am related to the man who invented the modern umbrella.

Kincafe much like geni
It was a great experience for me to have something like geni. I found it extremely useful for making a family tree.
But i would like to add something which is much like a geni, its Kincafe.
I would like you to particpate in beta release of Kincafe and provide feedback at andy@kincafe.com
Thanks
