Allowing Gedcom imports is a terrible feature. In Finland we have a big tree and projects. These new Gedcom imports makes a lot of merges. We have made here a lot of work to get tree liable, adding original sourses etc

I take now out a gedcom from my ancestors and also other tree I have made, if I manage. I am not alone with those thoughts. We want geni to be quality, liable tree and worked to make it better.

I am not sure, if I want to be any more in Geni. I have made hours and hours work to merge and correct other peoples profiles and adding original sourses, not links to MH.

I think, that allowing GEDCOM in Finland is a big bug. One family (two generation) is OK, but not a tree including hundreds of profiles. We need to correct any way those profiles, because birthplaces goes to wrong boxes in Geni. Also there are problem with names.

  Do understand it correctly that you are suggesting that the GEDCOM importer does not stop when see duplicated profiles.  

  "It does not stop. People can see the Gedcoms profiles and begin to merge.  Importer can see the list of undo, but if she or he undo after some other have merged a part of GEDCOM profiles, then there is a problem." Ritva  I said "
  	The profiles are already in Geni and it is should stop. And slow down, to prevent that 100's of profiles are created."
