A family member recently passed away and I want to update their profile on Geni.  I originally added the member to my family tree, and he later claimed his own account, so I am no longer able to edit his profile.  How can I make sure his profile is updated?

  I finally found this info in the FAQ section. Presumably, once you've "reported" the info, Geni will do SOMETHING with it!

  How can I update the profile for someone who is deceased?

  If the person has not yet claimed their account, you may use the "Edit Profile" link on their profile page to update that information.

  Otherwise, if they have claimed their profile, you may simply navigate to their profile page, click "Actions" and select "Report." Choose "Deceased" from the drop down and please provide a brief comment. Lastly, click "Submit." 

  Or if you are a Geni Plus or Pro, you may send us their name and email address and we will be happy to further assist you with this.
