Geni, the fast-growing Web site that allows people to create family trees, has raised $10 million second round of financing, led by Charles River Ventures. The Los Angeles company says the company company is valued, after the investment, at $100 million, a significant jump from the $10 million valuation of the company after it raised money in June. Some 100,000 users have input about 2 million people on the site. See our initial reference to this here.

Geni.com is such a great idea! I just did a blog post about Geni.com over on Highbrid Nation if you want to check it out. I look forward to building my tree and maybe meeting some new family members along the way. I think the site has a great future.

I have seen kincafe website which is really good.
Kincafe.com {connect. bond. cherish.} , a web 2.0 social network for families that captures updates from one’s family & friends, allows the building and linking of family trees and simplifies the sharing of family treasures like; photo albums, stories, birthdays, anniversaries, interests, news and blogs.
Powerful features include:
1. Family tree based navigation. Members use their own family tree to get to albums and blogs of a connected family member at anytime. You don’t have to preserve the album links sent in numerous emails.
2. Collaborate with your family to build family tree together, with ability to control who can modify which profiles.
3. Secure – Users control security of their information. Can choose different sharing levels within the network for DOB, contact information, last name, albums etc.
4. Kincafe digs the latest albums and stories from the network and presents right upon login.
5. Drag and drop based Album creation.
6. HTML and Ajax based UI. No flash.Please get in touch with andy@kincafe.com for any help
