A few months ago I began entering my tree, basically by stubbing out direct ancestors. I have quite a lot of genealogical information I've acquired through 30 years of research. Now I've begun entering in more detailed information such as more info on direct ancestors, as well as adding their siblings, their siblings spouses, and in some cases their siblings children. However, between my first entries and now, a significant branch of my tree has been merged by a volunteer curator into an existing tree. That's fine, I understand the Geni concept of a giant collaborative tree, that's one of the reasons I'm here. My problem though is that I can't afford a Pro membership, and so I am now basically locked out from filling out a significant part of my tree (my surname branch) where it has been merged. In my Swedish side this isn't a problem because people are active and have collaborated with me, giving me access. But the person who entered the people in this other part of my tree I've been merged to appears to no longer be active. So I'm kind of stuck because I can't edit this large part of my tree. It's kind of frustrating because I have far more information than the original person had. Is that just the way it goes? Pay up or hit the road?
