Dear Community Members,
Anyone who has researched family history on platforms like FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage, or Geni understands the double-edged sword: while they provide access to digitized records, they have also spread widespread and massive errors, mislinked namesakes, and unverified user trees. Accepting automated "hints" without consulting primary records has led many to build ancestral lines on shaky ground, to say the least.
To provide a refined, reliable alternative grounded in authentic archival sources, I have established two key resources through Genuspedia.com:
1. Genuspedia.com: Exclusive Primary Source Archives
For years, I have dedicated myself to transcribing, indexing, and analyzing original 16th to 18th-century manuscripts, including notary protocols, nobility proofs, inquisitorial files, and prenuptial investigations, from the historical repositories of Spain, New Galicia, New Spain, Guatemala, the Viceroyalty of Perú, USA, Portugal and the Bishopric of Michoacán.
The vast majority of these historical records are not digitized and cannot be found on major commercial platforms.
To answer continuous research inquiries efficiently and affordably, I gathered this primary source data into Genuspedia.com through detailed and precise abstracts designed to save researchers countless headaches. Through an accessible subscription model, any researcher can independently search and identify thousands of unpublished records and proven lineages found in no other index on the web. Furthermore, the repository grows continuously: every month we add thousands of newly cataloged manuscripts, with full progress updates published on our platform blog.
2. EK Geneascore™: Lineage Reliability Auditor (100% Free)
To help researchers clean up their data and verify every generation, I developed EK Geneascore™, a free web utility designed to audit the strength of your documentary evidence.
Featuring an elegant and intuitive interface, the system evaluates attached primary sources, calculates a Lineage Confidence Index, and provides a visual heatmap showing precisely where your lineage is secure and where further proof is needed. Once completed, it generates a downloadable, presentation-ready PDF audit report.
You can run a free audit anytime at: geneascore.genuspedia.com
I invite you to test your lineages and the corpus of our ancestors on EK Geneascore, share them here and explore the collections at Genuspedia.com. I think it is time to replace internet guesswork with the undeniable authority of original archival records.
Sincerely,
Erik Andrés Reynoso y Márquez

Estimados miembros de la comunidad:
Quienes hemos investigado la historia familiar en plataformas como FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage o Geni conocemos bien su doble cara: aunque facilitan el acceso a registros digitalizados, también han propagado una cantidad enorme de errores, homónimos mal vinculados y árboles colaborativos sin sustento documental. Aceptar las "sugerencias" automáticas sin consultar la fuente primaria ha llevado a muchos a construir líneas genealógicas sobre bases frágiles, por decir lo menos.
Para ofrecer una alternativa seria, transparente y respaldada en archivos reales, he desarrollado dos soluciones a través de Genuspedia.com:
1. Genuspedia.com: Documentación exclusiva de fuentes primarias
Durante años me he dedicado a la revisión, transcripción, catalogación y análisis de manuscritos originales de los siglos XVI al XVIII, protocolos notariales, probanzas de hidalguía, expedientes inquisitoriales e informaciones matrimoniales, procedentes de los archivos de España, Nueva Galicia, Nueva España, Guatemala, el Virreinato del Perú, Estados Unidos, Portugal y el obispado de Michoacán.
La inmensa mayoría de estos registros históricos no están digitalizados ni se encuentran disponibles en las grandes plataformas comerciales.
Para responder a las constantes consultas de investigación de forma ágil y económicamente accesible, he reunido esta información documental en Genuspedia.com a través de extractos detallados y precisos que le quitarán el dolor de cabeza a mucha gente. A través de un modelo de suscripción accesible, cualquier investigador puede explorar e identificar directamente miles de registros notariales inéditos y filiaciones probadas que no existen en ningún otro índice de la web. Además, el repositorio crece de forma continua: cada mes incorporamos miles de manuscritos recién catalogados, cuyos avances pueden consultarse en el blog de la plataforma.
2. EK Geneascore™: Auditoría de certeza documental (100% Gratuito)
Como complemento para ayudar a los investigadores a depurar sus datos y verificar cada generación, he creado EK Geneascore™, una herramienta web gratuita diseñada para auditar la solidez de sus evidencias documentales.
Mediante una interfaz clara e intuitiva, el sistema evalúa las fuentes primarias aportadas, calcula un Índice de Confianza de Linaje y genera un mapa de calor visual que muestra exactamente en qué antepasado existe certeza y dónde se requiere mayor investigación. Al finalizar, permite descargar un dictamen de auditoría en formato PDF listo para su presentación.
Pueden realizar una auditoría gratuita en cualquier momento en: geneascore.genuspedia.com
Los invito a auditar sus líneas de investigación y el acervo de nuestros antepasados en Geneascore, a compartir sus resultados aquí y a explorar los fondos documentales de Genuspedia.com. Creo que ha llegado el momento de reemplazar la especulación de internet por la autoridad incontestable de los documentos originales de archivo.
Atentamente,
Erik Andrés Reynoso y Márquez
For those tracking our repository expansions, I also published the first official ingestion log:
Archival Ingestion Log I: Noble Lawsuits, Peerage Disputes & Notarial Protocols
This release incorporates cataloged abstracts covering noble lawsuits, peerage disputes, proof of lineage files, and notary protocols, essential resources for breaking through complex ancestral brick walls.
Additionally, Genuspedia now leverages specialized AI engines engineered to:
- Cross-Check References Automatically: Interlink names, godparents, executors, and testamentary dispositions across thousands of scattered notarized and judicial records.
- Automated Tree Building & Lineage Analysis: Map and analyze family trees grounded strictly in validated primary source evidence, eliminating false assumptions.
- Deep Relational Analysis: Uncover hidden social networks, dowries, and kinship bonds embedded within old manuscripts that would otherwise take years of manual cross-referencing.
You can read the full breakdown of newly ingested collections directly on Genuspedia.com:

P.S. Currently I am working on the abstracts of Libros de Gobierno of Guadalajara and Nueva Galicia, and the Inventarios de Bienes of Royal Officers which will be available in September.
To keep the community updated on the continuous development of the platform, I have just deployed version 1.2 of EK Geneascore™ featuring the following enhancements:
- 3-Generation Reliability Heatmap (7 Full Nodes): Expanded visual canvas covering the Target Ancestor, Parents, and Grandparents (paternal and maternal), allowing researchers to audit overall multi-generational lineage integrity in a single view.
- Multi-Generational Audit Dossier (PDF Export): The reporting engine now compiles and exports an itemized, continuous audit report detailing all 7 ancestors in a unified PDF file ready for presentation or archival insertion.
- Institutional Weights & Custom Settings: Full flexibility to customize base scoring values for each documentary category (notary protocols, nobility proofs, inquisitorial files, etc.), tailoring the audit engine to specific 16th to 19th-century archival contexts.
- Refined "Baptism / Birth" Pillar: Standardized terminology across the interface and diagnostic output to seamlessly support both historical parish records and civil birth registrations.
- Persistent Local Storage (
localStorage): Automatic browser caching ensures that active tree evaluations, custom ancestor names, and archival citations remain safely preserved across sessions. - Advanced Mobile Optimization: Fully responsive layout featuring smooth horizontal touch-scrolling for smartphone and tablet access.
