If someone buys pro unlimited use for a tree.Who ever is a user of that tree should be consider a pro user for that tree. If a person starts a different tree then they should be a non pro user until they buy pro unlimited before merging with another tree. Basically, what Im suggesting the plan should include the family members attached to that tree as all pro users at the unlimited price.

Dan Cornett But how does one determine a "new tree"? Once they connect with existing profiles, they are no longer a separate tree - they are part of the "Forest" ... and that is where 'Pro' privileges make the most difference.
It seems to me that key family members (those related, but a somewhat distant 'cousin' parts of the tree), might benefit from a Plus membership to help "manage" different parts of the "living clan" -- up to the point where they connect into "The Forest".

AletheaLisa Pollock-Downer I would suggest to be able to determine a " new tree" by the title of which the tree is started.
For example, I start a maternal tree and someone else starts a paternal tree under a new title and has added my name, then once I buy unlimited Pro will that cover the new tree that is currently seperate as well? Or would you have me buy to seperate Pro unlimited for the two different trees that may never connect to become the Forest.

Dan Cornett I guess I'm not clear on what you are asking for. If you are in the same family group (i.e.: maternal and paternal trees), for "nearby" family it doesn't matter what "level of membership".

Bruce R. Gilson How does one "start a new tree"? I have some relatives whose relationship to me I've not determined exactly. So I'd like to create a tree with them so I could, if I later find out the precise relationship, connect it properly to my own. As far as I know, this simply cannot be done!

Dan Cornett Once two people have their "claimed" profiles (i.e., each of you have created your Geni account and can log in and modify your own profile), then you can request to be in each other's Family Group (which requires one to invite and the other to accept the invitation) -- once you find the "joining relatives" (and have merged them), then you will automatically be part of the same "family group" (at least, as Geni defines it). If there are "distant" relatives, you can use this "invite/accept" mechanism to collaborate more closely on building your mutual family tree.
Once you go back a couple of generations (where everyone is deceased), be sure to set those older profiles as 'public' so that other "distant relatives" can connect in also -- even if you don't know about them yet!
