Geneanet
Geneanet (previously stylized as GeneaNet) is a Paris-based genealogy website with 4 million members. Since 2021 it is a subsidiary of Ancestry, the largest genealogy company in the world. Its website consists of data added by registered participants and is available for free to any interested people. An optional annual subscription provides additional search options and additional records.
In December 1996, Jacques Le Marois, Jérôme Abela, and Julien Cassaigne launched a website for "using the strength of the Internet to build a database indexing all the genealogical resources existing in the world, available or not online". The former name was "LPF" (List of surnames of France).
The purpose of the site is, through the family trees shared by the members, to match hundreds of thousands of records and genealogical data, to maximize the opportunities of finding common ancestors and growing the family trees. A search in this index can tell if a surname has been investigated by a genealogist (mostly amateur) in a certain place and a certain period of time. Over the years, Geneanet has developed new tools: an internal mailbox, some charts and lists print tools, a digitized library... The number of unique visitors par month has increased from 330,000 in 2006 to more than 1 million in 2018. In 2019, Geneanet has more than 2 million unique visitors per month and is called "heavyweight of the sector".
In August 2012, the Geneanet database reached the milestone of 1 billion entries, then 2 billion in August 2015, and 6 billion in 2019.
In September 2014, Geneanet launched a project for indexing soldiers in the First World War. At that time, the site was hosting more than 530,000 family trees with 800 million individuals.
Since 2015, Geneanet has participated in the genealogical exhibition which held in the town hall of the 15th arrondissement of Paris
In 2017, Geneanet signed a partnership with FamilySearch, allowing the LDS members to have a free Geneanet Premium subscription.
In 2018, Geneanet took part in the debate about DNA tests for genealogical purpose. Since then, the site conducts surveys with its members (20,000 en 2018).
