Geneanet Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Is EM Vignol Brussels (Belgium) a manufacturer? It is!

  Other important sources are address books of the relevant cities, partly arranged by names, partly by professions. Here I found information about workshops and manufacturers in Berlin. Surely known to many is www.gallica.bnf.fr with the for us very important "Annuaire-almanach du commerce, de l'industrie, de la magistrature et de l'administration". Here can be registered craftsmen and stores with their addresses... Source: 10 months ago

• Questions about searching for a biological parent?

  I have a significant chunk of Northern Italian as well (in fact if you see the names Galli, Esposito, or Ridolfi in your matches, we’re probably cousins). Most of my Italian matches are actually on Geneanet which is a French site you can upload DNA results to. Source: 11 months ago

• Why is Netflix pretending that Cleopatra was black?

  Her mother was Cleopatra V Tryphaen whose parents were Cleopatra III Euergetes and Ptolemy VIII Euergetes Physcon. Her family tree is well documented. https://en.geneanet.org/ Is a good website if you’re not interested. There are no dark eking multi ethnic people in there. These people were marrying sisters and first cousins, hated the locals and refused to socialize with them, never mind having children with... Source: almost 1 year ago

• Unhelpful results, need help

  I have an Italian grandfather with the proper region highlighted on my ancestry report. I have had exactly 0 matches from people living in Italy (granted, most people tend to leave out there location). The same is the case for 23&me. I uploaded my DNA results to My Heritage and Geneanet and immediately started finding people. Source: over 1 year ago

• Not sure what subreddit to post this in, but I thought you’d all be interested. This is my attempt at creating a visual model of the agnatic descendants of Charlemagne and his family.

  Yeah sure, I did not mark them but I pulled from English and French Wikipedia, Medlands, Geneanet (sparingly, as it is less reliable), and a number of books written in French that I should have saved. The theory about Rothold derived from the fact his family is known as ‘de Senlis’, and are likely descended from the Counts of Senlis, which happen to be Carolingians. It is marked hypothetical because I am not... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Who is the Balkans do you think is the most well behaved people?

  Probably church records is where you should look. There has been a big church records digitization campaign in Slovenia. I think maybe even Croatia might’ve been involved? Also, online services are quite good. I’ve gotten things out of my family tree from: https://en.geneanet.org. Also extra information from MyHeritage as well as My Ancestry for AH military records of ancestors as well as sadly stalag records. Source: about 3 years ago
