I also know from people who have attempted to do their tree there just for strangers "curators" to add false dates and change names. I also have a blogger friend who attempted to check out the site just to be suspended the same day for posting how interesting the site was and introducing herself. <br />And you might want to look at this link<br />http://www.gensoftreviews.com/?p=528#reviewsCanadian Genealogisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388282825024063998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4390256816253452055.post-72303872808227983692012-07-19T08:34:30.789-04:002012-07-19T08:34:30.789-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Canadian Genealogisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388282825024063998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4390256816253452055.post-16705886462796355302012-07-18T16:37:53.126-04:002012-07-18T16:37:53.126-04:00Hi,

Similar to Wikipedia administrators, Curators are trusted volunteers who are well regarded by the Geni community. They are given extra privileges to help safeguard the data on Geni’s World Family Tree and provide other users with assistance. Each person nominated to be a Curator must be approved by Geni. Only users with a good track record over an extended period of time may be granted these privileges and of course, they can be revoked at anytime if necessary.<br /><br />Curators do not have access to private profiles unless they are given permission by someone within that tree. They do not have the ability to restore private profile information as you stated. <br /><br />Geni is a collaborative genealogy website. Our goal has always been to create a shared family tree so our users can meet new cousins and discover how they relate to notable figures. In order to help achieve this goal, Curators may edit and merge public profiles connected to the World Family Tree. Again, they do not automatically have access to private profiles or unconnected trees. <br /><br />Your profile and those of your close relatives that you manage are private. Profiles within the private part of the tree can only be edited by you and invited close relatives. Your family shares the tree so you can all work together to discover new relatives. <br /><br />Geni takes privacy very seriously and our customer service team is always willing to work with anyone who feels their privacy is being violated. <br /> <br />Amanda<br />The Geni TeamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
