Contact Page and Online Family Tree will now be available for registered users only
GeneaNet users will need to register to access contact pages and online family trees from Friday, 23 May 2008.
Clicking on a link in the search results list will open a registration form to non-registered users.
Of course, registration is free!
We hope to limit data copying from casual users.
Online family tree url (http://gw.geneanet.org/username) is still available for all, and GeneaNet users can send it to family and friends.
Many thanks for your fidelity!

Glad to see this site upgrading for the next big expansion in genealogical activity.
Excellent initiative.
"hecquetjf" has been systematically copying my data on the name ABANCOURT, claiming he researched it himself. A play on words at best since I had to physically go to the French Archives, from Canada, to find the data and nobody else ever put it out on the web.

So, what are you so upset about? Most knowledge in the world that you use daily is researched by someone else. What is the meaning of doing research if other people does not use it?
I myself have been a researcher and scientist all my life and am happy everytime someone uses my findings. It is bad however that you are not quoted!

Since the purpose Geneanet.org is here is to: "Since 1996, the purpose of GeneaNet is to connect people so that they can help each other and share genealogical research." having a "registered" website for the only purpose of halting copying is just plain stupid. People will copy and print out in hopes of a match sometimes down the road. Some people have lots of time on their hands and so want to show that they have a huge family (so they add the extended families). Instead of being concerned with copying we need to inform the public that unless the person is a "true" family member and they compiled the info themselves, that any non-immediate family family trees may have "bad data" in them. So the "this is MY family blerb" would be a lot better than having a "registered" site and going against the purpose of the site. Sure the person who is not family and researches your family or puts your info onto another site is unethical, you can ask them to remove it (I've had to do that and she refused to remove it so now her website info is not accurate) and they can be as stubborn as a child, but all YOU can do is provide an "ownership blerb" of how you are related in your own tree. In addition, I'd like to see easier "contact emails" so we can contact those with possible related family trees. It's been a super bear to contact anyone at all, and my isp refuses to accept emails from poland, germany and france, and the family tree websites refuse to make any contact or put the contact question and answer on their websites. If these genealogical websites are so selfish, then what purpose is there for us to use them?
It took me a long time to put up my dad's family tree on geneanet.org. I had to remove it because geneanet.org's family tree maker doesn't work properly. When geneanet.org determines it "will" work properly I hope they inform me and I'll re-join the group.
@christie33549 & Jan: searching and copying data on GeneaNet is still free! But registration is needed.
@arilpums: subscription form is available at http://www.geneanet.org/subscribe/. To know if you're already registered, go to http://my.geneanet.org/retrouve_gen...
I have no comments as of now.
What is the BIG deal? ANYONE who has a family tree and someone else has that same FAMILY tree--that means that they are both part of the same family. WHY in the stinkin WORLD would you be upset about someone in YOUR family knowing it and adding it to their information. THAT's what these genealogy sites are all about! WHY else even have them??????? They are here so that people that are interested in genealogy and knowing their roots can communicate with each other--safely--some family members ain't all there u know?
If someone in YOUR family copies your information--its THEIR family too!---YOU don't OWN the family--or the information. Some people out there do not have the resources that you may have to be able to do all the research that you have done--and if you think that it didn't take some time and research for someone to find the info YOU have--you're WRONG. It takes hours and days and weeks and months and even years to luck out and make another connection in the family tree--even on gen websites! Why not just welcome them to the family?
HELLO?!?!?!
