Hey geni.
I think geni, with the armlock we loaded in, expecting that the 60th million. participant will pay each of Plus119 - Pro190 U.S. dollars / year. Dizzying amounts. I think geni mistaken, I have since 2008, invited many of my tree, I will certainly stop now that they can look forward to having to pay.
Geni has been an entertaining and good project that I have enjoyed working with, now it becomes too expensive, and what we are charged for a year.

I agree... I started my tree here at Geni.com because it was a free piece of software. But they keep adding restrictions and now its almost impossible to keep working genealogy at Geni.com without paying.
Adios Geni

Are there alternatives?
MyHeritage.com ??? Anybody know it?

There are probably no free alternatives to MyHeritage or Geni. And if there are it's probably just going to be somrthing to hook the users so they will pay later.

There is no such thing as a free genealogical site where you can add your tree via gedcom, collaborate with your family and friends and expect to keep this service free for ever. So, all of you have to make a choice. And the choices are: Restricted free service, or pay for more access.

I don't agree .... It all depends on how the business model is constructed. Never the less, I will be looking elsewhere for my services.

Og tak til Gunnar for linket. Men jeg er ikke ude efter programmer som skal installeres lokalt. Hele ideen med Geni.com er jo at vi sammen kan skabe et stamtræ og at hele familien kan være med.

Og forretningsmodellen kunne foreslåes at være, f.eks 1. års betalingsfrihed til at lære at bruge systemet, - derefter betaler alle, såvel brugere som de der kommer og kigger familiens træ, eksempelvis 20 Euro/år. Det er nemlig ikke rimeligt at det er "træbyggerne", der alene skal betale Geni for at få lov at udarbejde verdensrtæeet.
