A woman outside brooklyn- im also on Geni, but I got stuck, and unless someone in your family made a tree tht goes further back than yours, how do you find more info?
One of the more comprehensive sources of family history on the web is Ancestry.com. I’ve found LOTS of stuff on my family there.
Also, from within Geni, do a search on the names of extended members of your family. Your second cousin may not be on Geni, but another cousin whom she knows (and you don’t) may have her in their tree and have much more information on generations gone before.
