Sorry that I don't seem to have a more immediate link to this family member, but there it is.

I have three issues on which I am anxious for advice:

1. Geni refuses to accept the geographical specifics I input, both of which are very important to the family. For instance, I try to add Teplice, Czech Republic as her birthplace and while a box below suggests 'Teplitz, Czech Republic' (the older, German version, actually Teplitz-Schoenau in full) which in truth would be perfectly acceptable, in the final analysis it reverts to 'Usti nad Ladem, Czech Republic' which is the province. So how can I specify the birth town?
2. Then, to add insult to injury, the same provincial tag attaches to her death location, which happens to be Theresienstadt (Terezin), Czech Republic. Either the German or the Czech version would be perfectly acceptable but ignoring both is not.
3. I am unable to achieve acknowledgement of Adele's tree in her husband's family, i.e., no green tree addition with numbers shows on his node in her tree nor on her node in his tree. Her husband was Robert Bechert (1869-1929). No link exists and I cannot understand why.

I would be incredibly grateful for some guidance on these problems -- many thanks in advance!

Alyson,

1) & 2) Locations - Always use the Expanded entry:

In City - enter cyrrent name with accents - followed by in a Bracket the 1-3 German versions

Bohemia - in State, Czech Republic - in Country

3) I have No Problem - seeing 23 (relatives) - by his profile name (tree view)

ps. sometimes the Screen - needs to be Refreshed 1-3 times - for the Boxes to be dispalyed correctly
