Hi Melanie!

Photographs do not import with a GEDCOM because it's a text only file (unfortunately!).

Geni, I think, doesn't allow you to import selectively. I could be wrong about that though. If they do, awesome. If not, you might want to look at free software like RootsMagic or Legacy. You could download your GEDCOM from Geni and uploaded it to one of those two programs and you'd then be able to split it into small segments. That's definitely the way to go. And yes, once you start building up on WikiTree, you can invite interested family to help. There are also lots of ways to share what you're adding to WikiTree on social media if you're into that!
