John de Welles m. Cecily Plantagenet

What has Geni to do with this?
Gein does not make any research or adding profiles.

What Geni offers the users is a tool to collaborate on building a world family tree and is the users them self like you and me who do the work.

If you have sources on missing lines you are welcome to add them. If you need access you start collaborating with the managers of the profiles you want to start extending a line on.

Since you compare with Wikipedia: They don't add information them self either, and you don't blame Wikipedia if they are missing some information, but are welcome to add it yourself.

Private User, Geni shows Cicely of York as wife of John de Welles:

Cecily of York, Viscountess Welles

I wonder if you might be looking at this newly added duplicate:

I guess, Bjorn, the issue is that the information in one's family trees from Geni.com is ALWAYS CHANGING. It is understandable, considering the nature of the beast, but it is very frustrating, especially since the information ends up being highly unreliable. And, in fact, entire branches of trees end up being wiped out if one person removes or changes information. It's also rather problematic if people use information from this site and spread it around the web, then Geni is responsible for false information being spread.

Hence, it's very understandable that you are going to end up with people who don't understand and are upset, especially when spending considerable money to pay for the web site. I suppose you are going to have to get used to it.

Hi Susan

Yes, it can be strange to see relationships in flux. But it is a help to me to always look for a Master Profile, which is meant to represent "best version we know of.". The Geni profile Justin linked to is the one the check "your path between" for any errors, and all other versions on Geni, in the historic tree, should be merged into it - which as a generality can be done by any PRO for any public profile.

You can in fact filter by MP in the search window.

Hope this helps.
