Hi! I'm a basic user so I'm just posting this here to promote an idea I have. I think it would be nice if Geni created one or several categories suitable for all those relationshsips between two people that can lead to the birth of a child. A modern thing is sperm- or egg-donation. A horrible but still existing thing is children who are the product of a rape. At the present one must list such a childs father as the ex-partner or something like that and that feels like such a bad thing to do. There's also many exmples of named fathers where no other known relationship between him and the mother can be found in documents. Couldn't we have somthing like "unspecified relationship", "biological father of NN's child" or "genetic contributor" or whatever for cases like this?. If you like this idea and have a better way to reach Geni please share it with them.
