Hi! I looks great and really got me started immediately. However, euroepan special-characters don't work, neither is our qwerty-placement of special chars, such as "@". And, I cannot get the mailverification to work.
Heads up!

Great project. Definatly will use it. But I have some questions: why in 'spoken language ' settings there is no 'latvian'? Also if I use name Krūmiņš - in tree view those non-latin letters disapears. Can You easely fix it? :)

This is pretty cool! Will there be multi-language version out ? :P
Anyway, I will look forward to more features :D

Great job,
it's so easy to use and yet it is so customizable and complete.
It would just be great to have an option to print the tree.
Keep up the good work

What about "Add Spouse"?
There are parts of this country that realize that you could be a woman and have a wife, or a man and have a husband...

I can't figure out how to delete someone from the tree once you've established a few relationships for them. The "x" is gone. seems you can only delete people who have only one relationship? help. i made a mistake and can't fix it.

Martin Edenström and ctrnz: We are currently working on multilanguage/special character support and should have a fix for you in a few hours. We'll need your help to test out alternate keyboard layouts!

Geni Team: Great - I can now see those non-latin characters! Thanks!
What about my another question - possibility to add my native language - latvian? :)
And once again - thanks for your effort!
