Geni Family Tree Grows to 78 People

Despite the stories I had heard, I was still surprised to see the quick growth to the family tree I started earlier this morning.  Having put in my direct family and Jean's family (a total of 25 people), 9 family members have already joined up and added information to the list. 

My cousing Nedim in Turkey was the first to login and add his family details, and Jessica Hillgrove (Jean's sister) gets the award for adding the first sets of pictures, as well as detailing much of her husband's family, which has already grown through invites to over 20 people as well.

I'll update at the end of the weekend to see how many additional entries there have been.  I have my whole Dad's branch of the family to add, and my mother just found a family tree that I had traced back 4 to 5 generations back in High School.  I'm eager to get some additional information posted online, and hope to hook portions up with other established trees to quickly grow.  What am I hoping for?  I'd like to see 5,000 connections by the end of May... so if you're reading this, please make sure that your information is posted up as soon as possible!

Update, 4/14: The Tree is now up to 186 people in only two days! And a lot of my cousins (you know who you are!) have not gone in yet to add their kids and spouse's families yet... hopefully we'll continue to see some big growth in the next week...
