How do MyHeritage and Geni operate?

MyHeritage and Geni operate as separate platforms with distinct purposes, and your family trees on each platform cannot be combined.
​

We plan to maintain this separation for the foreseeable future. MyHeritage will remain a forest of independent private family trees, while Geni will remain focused on building a one-family only tree of the world.
​

If you wish to transfer your Geni project to MyHeritage, please refer to our guide: How can I import a family tree from Geni?

Cross-Platform Benefits
​

Despite their separation, users of both platforms can enjoy some integrated features:
​

  • Smart Matching technology works between MyHeritage and Geni trees

  • Geni users can access MyHeritage's Record Matching and Smart Matching™ to discover new family information within MyHeritage's historical records and family trees

​Subscription Information

​

  • full access to all MyHeritage Record Matches;

  • the possibility to contact MyHeritage family tree's webmasters;

  • unlimited access to the MyHeritage Search Engine for historical records.
