Matches on MyHeritage show last names from Geni as "unknown"

Hello!

I have submitted info across various sites of course, such as Geni and MyHeritage and FamilySearch.  I am getting smart matches on MyHeritage (which I populated from FamilySearch originally) of people I've put in both (same profile) but in MyHeritage it shows, always, as "unknown" last name when imported from Geni.

There is a link named "view full record on Geni website" for that person, which I follow, and the entry appears just as it should. 

What am I missing, how can I resolve this?

Example, here is my relative Antoni on Geni:  https://www.geni.com/people/Antoni/6000000096692689062

On MyHeritage: https://www.myheritage.com/research/record-40001-1338483658/antoni-sznajder-in-familysearch-family-tree

On FamilySearch:  https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/LYRG-K4C

Thanks for any tips!

Beth

  Nope, not resolved. Exact same thing happens to me with most records when I try to compare matches from Geni that are offered up by MyHeritage. I am just rejecting them all out of hand, rather than chance corrupting my family tree with garbage data... unknown...unknown....unknown...

  Same here. Any records from Geni that I compare with any other sites show Unknown in well over 50% of the results. When you look at the information in Geni, it's almost always there but the title stays Unknown.

  Im still having this problem regularly.  Here's one example.  on MyHeritage---https://www.myheritage.com/research/record-40000-556108110/john-unknown-in-geni-world-family-tree?s=249409131
  
  On Geni, using the link at the bottom of the page in MyHeritage---https://www.geni.com/people/John-Barkley/6000000156908381691
  
  I have never seen a response to this issue, yet you want us to buy a subscription?  I think not.

  OH.  And you cant submit a ticket to have this resolved unless you are a paying member.  Why pay for substandard information?
