We're supposed to be able to export “any profile that you added or anyone in your immediate family,” but this does not work for profiles we added by GEDCOM import and then merged with existing profiles. This can be a major problem for parts of our tree that already existed. Geni should allow export of any profile we added from imported GEDCOMs. Otherwise, there is less of an incentive for users to import profiles from GEDCOMs, and importing even duplicate profiles can be advantageous, as long as the duplicates are merged, because it can add more correct or additional information and especially sources.

Matthew Riggle Actually this problem applies not just to profiles added by GEDCOM. It appears to apply to any profiles that were merged with duplicate profiles but were not the "surviving" profile. This is nonsense.

Matthew Riggle I opened support ticket 112719 about this.

Marek David Steedman Did you ever get a reply on this issue? I am noticing the same problem. After merging with an existing profile the import stopped on that branch -- leaving many hundreds of profiles in my GEDCOM file not imported. Seems to assume that the branches linked to the pre-existing profile are exhaustive. Frustrating. Thanks.

Matthew Riggle No. The only thing Geni Support suggested was, "you can choose to view an Ancestor and/or Descendant Report (up to 20 generations) by clicking the 'Actions' menu on the profile page select the report you wish to see and there will be an option to export the report as a PDF as well. " They didn't provide any solution to exporting a GEDCOM.

Marek David Steedman Hmmm. Not at all responsive to the problem; the ancestor report isn't going to pick up profiles that didn't ever import.
