Projects of ancestors of a specific Geni user

Started by Andreas Keller on today

Is this a project for tagging ancestors of a specific user? I think such projects should not be created. The information which profiles represent a specific person's ancestors is contained in the Geni database and can easily be generated from it. That is what Geni is about. So such projects do not add any informacion not already contained in the databse.
Moreover, imagine everybody would start such a project. That would lead to all the profiles shared by many to be tagged with lots and lots of project memberships that only state that this person is an ancestor of this person and that person (and there would be tens of thousands in some cases, or even millions). We would all spend our time only adding profiles to such projects.
So please nobody should start such a projects. Projects are meant to add additional information, not information already implicit in the Geni database.
If this project is of this type, please delete it and stop adding profiles to it. If it is about something else, please make clear in the project text what is the purpose of this project.
Perhaps you can start your own MyHeritage tree instead and add all your ancestors.
