Yeah, well - as you just found out - there really isn't much a Basic user is unable to do that a Pro can do.
To make use of the SmartMatches and Record Matches you need BOTH a Pro Subscription from Geni and a Database Subscription from MyHeritage (not their paid -
ie Premium - Membership subscription, though).
The Pro Membership also means when you do a Geni-Search and it pulls up Public Profiles you can click on them and will never get the Ad-For-Pro screen - for Basic Members they have to use google or some other search engine to go to those Profiles.
That and accessing the Tree Matches and being able to submit tickets to Help/Customer Support when there are problems may be it for benefits of just having the Pro. Anybody know any others?
