Search children of a couple and 6.6 million new records
GeneaGenie
Hello
This month we introduce one of your most requested features: finding all children of a couple with a single search. GeneaGenie doesn't just find who was born — it immediately searches for each child's further life records too: marriages, deaths, obituaries. Everything you need to map out a complete family, in one go.
This month we also added four new sources — two in the Netherlands and two in Belgium — bringing a total of 6.66 million new records.

Searching for children of a couple

Any genealogist will agree: fully reconstructing a family is a time-consuming task. GeneaGenie makes it significantly faster and easier, through a unique two-step approach.
First, all records are found in which both parents appear together: birth certificates, baptism registers, marriage records... Then, a separate search is run for each child across all available sources. This immediately surfaces each child's further life records too. Think of marriage certificates that only mention a birth date, or death records that only name the spouse — GeneaGenie automatically connects these puzzle pieces for you.
Already have a GEDCOM file? Then it gets even easier: select a couple from your GEDCOM and GeneaGenie immediately shows which children you already have in your tree — and which ones are missing. For every child, it also searches for missing records and obituaries straight away. All in one go, giving you the most complete picture of the family possible.

Why does GeneaGenie find more?

Every search in GeneaGenie is powered by our own machine learning algorithm. That may sound technical, but you'll notice the difference immediately: where other search engines only return exact matches, our algorithm understands how historical data gets distorted over time.
Through intelligent fuzzy matching on names, dates and locations, spelling variants, transcription errors and differing place names are automatically recognised and linked. A Marie Charlotte Corryn recorded elsewhere as Maria Carolina Carryn, a birth year that's off by one, a village listed under a different name — GeneaGenie makes the connection.
