No, sorry Judith, I'm not. I 'm not computer-educated at all. But I'm used to the wiki-tecnique were the administrators put an alphabeth at the top of the "kategory"-page and somehow the machines manage to put the persons in a alphabetic row. One only have to click the letter you like to examine and then you can search as in any wordbook. Every persons article on Wikipedia is cathegorized and that's that.
I'm used to work with the swedish modern census where I can search on date of birth or on name or on part of the name and part of the birth. There are specialist in "computer-knowledge" fixing the tecnique.
I have not looked at the different Geni-subprojects for the mormones in USA. But I think Randy Stebbing has managed with the possibilities that are within Geni.
E.g. It is a problem that we have to have to change the complete project front page in the project "Svenska apotekare" (Swedish pharmacistss) instead of only that singel part (a sequlum) I like to complete or correct. In that project we have been consioussly slow to be safe and sure. And if problems being able to correct less wrongs. That's a single profession, a single sex (only men) and not to much personal matters as for the holocaust-victims. So my proposal with a logotype for these victims is not a good solution. I would prefer "a signal " like the Pro-signal instead for the persons who at most was something else but murdered. At very many profiles we have professiones, livings and whereabouts. There are photos and histories to make the Geni-profiles more complete.
But at first we have to find the individuals and put them up on the human "map" again. I must say, with emphasis, I cannot understand why an international computerized internet based system works this lousy.
