What means Maadeavastajad?

It means Explorers ("Lands Discoverers") in Estonian.
This project was started by Estonians ...
Unfortunately there is still missing functionality to change or even correct project name in Geni.

It was made as Estonian project but got popularity worldwide.

Why wait for technical approach? You can change everything by creating a new project, with a better name, and then copy and paste the old information. When you adjust a warning on the elder project-page and visit the guestbooks of the followers to tell them about you page-change it's just a question of time before you can erase the wrong one. Not to much work for a Estonian, I hope? And please add some French, German a/o Spanish information, for Estonian is nor readed nor written by Europeans, although you are a member of the European Parliament. Sorry for your land-neighbours, but in Europe we have a rich tradition in talking each others languages.

Veel succes met uw interessante project en wie weet voeg ik er nog wel bijzondere Nederlandse ontdekkings-reizigers aan toe. Tenslotte hoorde ik net op de radio dat SAMOA of PAASEILAND in 1721 door een Nederlander is ontdekt, namelijk [http://www.human.nl/blog-32638-jacob-roggeveen--de-ontdekker-van-pa... Jacob ROGGEVEEN]. Groetjenu van jMu.

As far as I know, Estonians have always been Europeans and "in Europe we have a rich tradition in talking each others languages".

It was not ment mean, only to encourage also Estonians to use several languages on GENI. I hope I did not 'beledig' your country, for I'm a real ambassador for European collaboration. But often they forget that millions of Europeans are not use to talk English at home....
Good day again, groetunu, jMu.

I think the name for the group is okay. It´s written in both estonian and english, so most of us should be able to understand, what it´s all about.

FR: Merci à tous pour les commentaires et les explications, j'apprends beaucoup sur Geni!
DE: Dankeschon für alle Kommentare, Erklärungen, Übersetzungen und Hilfe. Holländer haben auch eine Menge Forscher in ihrer Familie, aber ich weiß nur noch nicht welchen Ländern sie sich geben wagten. (sorry, google vertaalt een beetje raar)
NL: Iedereen hartelijk bedankt voor de commentaren & uitleg, ik heb weer wat geleerd op Geni!
..: Aitäh kõigile kommentaaride ja selgituste, I õppida palju selle kohta Geni!
EN: Thank you so much, for I learned a lot of this discussion. Now I can stop following it, before it's popping up on my start-page every hour....
