MyHeritage has a more refined search capability than Geni, and if you are on MyHeritage you can now search the Geni database at
http://www.myheritage.nl/research/collection-40000/geni-world-famil...
You can do a town only search on this search form, which is not yet possible on Geni. Previously I had used a google search "site: geni.com + town" but this seems more efficient.
MyHeritage heeft een meer verfijnde zoekfunctie dan Geni, en als je bij MyHeritage bent ingelogd, dan kun je nu zoeken in de Geni databank op
http://www.myheritage.nl/research/collection-40000/geni-world-famil...
Je kunt nu ook zoeken op bijv. geboortes, overlijden, huwelijken, personen per stad via dit zoekformulier, wat nog niet mogelijk is bij Geni.
Voorheen had ik een Google-zoekopdracht "site: geni.com + stad" gebruikt, maar dit lijkt efficiënter.
Uitstekend! Dank je, Fred. Is inderdaad wat handig van pas komt, bv. om andere gebruikers te vinden die interesse hebben in profielen in een bepaalde stad. M.a.w., zoek alle profielen die bv. in Bergen op Zoom geboren zijn, kijk naar de Geni profielmanager, en dan heb je wellicht een nieuwe partner om wat gezamelijke stadsgenealogie te bekijken!
@Theresa,
I am not aware of an ability to print lists of grandparents. This would rapidly become huge. The number of grandparents doubles every generation. At 34 generations (Charlemagne is apparently my 34th great grandfather) there are 17 billion grandparents or 8.5 billion grandfathers. Clearly this is many more than there were people in the world at the time and thus there will be many repeats. It is also not surprising that most people whose ancestry is from western Europe are descended from Charlemagne. However it is not always easy to find the path.
John de Pont forgets that normally you also know that your grandparents must come from Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia or America. Or that it is a mix. If you have grandparents that very likely come from North-Europe 30 or more generations ago, then you can do the maths and then you are very likely decended from Charlemage and other historical figures from that timeframe. Sadly we only know the trees of very little grandparents 34 generations back. So it looks like we have only 1 or 2 grandparents in common, but must be more then 1000 north-European grandparents.
