I am just a regular user.  Yes you did post under reporting bugs.  Any user can comment on any bug report - and often Geni users respond to each other faster than do Geni staff :)

Ah, yes. I was assuming you were with Geni, as I  was under the understanding I was posting this under "reporting bugs" because of the error message I got, and not being able to find the definition.

Thanks 

No I am not saying that.  Like you, I have never seen Geni's definition.  I am just saying that is what I think lifetime membership of an organisation in general (not particularly Geni.com) usually means.

I was trying to be helpful to make a suggestion of what I thought it might mean - that's all.

Hopefully Geni.com can come up with the definitive answer.

Are you saying " membership lasts until the member or the organisation dies - whichever occurs first." is Geni's definition of Lifetime membership?
If so, can you link to where is it stated?
Thank you.

Lifetime membership of an organisation usually means that the membership lasts until the member or the organisation dies - whichever occurs first.
