Une expérience très complète avec un site et une équipe efficace
Buscaba familiares y los resultados han sido muy satisfactorios.
Muy recomendable.
I had a problem synching my online trees with the FTB software on my PC - not for the first time. On both occasions I got little joy by emailing for support but I got excellent support from staff on the phone (this time it was Lydia, and Melissa) who were polite, patient and skilled. My system is now working fine.
I was in need to make substantial changes on my family page. I was surprised how fast Sharon was able to help, how patient she was and how she was able to explain in a way I was able to understand. Within minutes all the problems were resolved and the service was excellent. I am so pleased to be a member in the MyHeritage site.

I recently received the results of my DNA test and while I found it fascinating, I was surprised that there were no Scots in my result, as there are a lot in my heritage. I rang the 0800 number and spoke to a very helpful staff member called Meagan, who explained the way that parental DNA works and why my sister had such a different result to me. I am looking forward to following the leads I now have.
I only hope thats someone responds to my massages. As I have no family history
I was having great difficulty in syncronising my FTB and Web Site due mainly to my error in creating two trees under my web site. I left a message yesterday and this morning got a call back and Brigitte was very helpful indeed and has sorted out my issue and clean my site up with regards deleting the second tree and making sure only one main tree existed on my site. Brigitte was very polite and professional in how she helped me and it was a pleasure to chat with her. There is one outstanding issue generally with MyHeritage on viewing Historical record matches from FTB but they are aware of this and the Technical Team are trying to sort it out. I have been with MyHeritage for 3 years now and I am very pleased with their programmes and helpfulness. Regards Tony
Quite frankly I am disgusted with my heritage, having received my dna results a few days ago I could not beleive the result having done family history for 15 years and gone back to 1700 my family are all english born in england dna result 3% that is not possible my sisters result 75% we have the same parents, granparents, great granparents, great great granparents & same blood group tried to contact my heritage no result tel no for support not recognised. I will have my DNA done by another site and will publish results. VAA
MyHeritage identified a software bug in their system which explains why my GEDCOM download from MH was corrupted. In compensation they have provided a free 3-months Premiumplus Subscription. Remains to be seen if the bug is removed before that subscription expires.
Navegação fácil e intuitiva, abundância de fontes para pesquisa e facilidade de comunicação.
Poor (the worst!) customer service I've seen in a long time. It takes DAYS for them to respond to support request emails, and then, more times than not, they don't answer the question I've asked. Like was mentioned before, I was first billed $131 when I decided to try MyHeritage for one year, but then 4 days later I was billed an additional $119.40. I've called my credit card company to dispute the charges. THESE GUYS DON'T DELIVER WHAT THEY PROMISE... GO with Ancestry.com -- much better service and quality of records.
In migrating from a PC to a Macbook, I was unable to restore my tree into Family Tree Builder on my new laptop. The support team gave me step-by-step instructions to diagnose the problem and then offered the right solution. I am up and running again thanks to the MyHeritage support team!
Nadja helped me very much. She listened patiently. She tried also several alternatives when a first trial was not successful. Finally she was successful. Things are working again very well.
Her voice and her explanations were very sympathetic.
Thank you, Nadja

My kit took 5 months to arrive and the results weren't entirely accurate. The information from my heritage website was awful and made me upload my information to a third party website to actually even SEE what my results were. Don't buy through this company. Stick with NatGeo.
For some reason my password quit working and now I cannot get back on the site. When the time comes to get the results of my DNA Test, I won't be able to get on the site to find them out. I hope you will be able to help me through the problem or I have wasted my money. You tried to help me earlier with this problem, but I am old and slow on the computer and was never able to get back on your site again. PLEASE HELP!

I will be looking for your e-mail.

After 3 weeks, myheritage cannot find any matches for my DNA upload. I did the same with GEDmatch, 500-600 matches within 24 hours.
I think the Myheritage DNA match service is a con, they quite clearly do not have either the skills or the data to work with, yet do not admit it.
Use Gedmatch, its free and very very professsional
Das Programm ist für einen umfangreichen Stammbaum sehr geeignet.
Service personnalisé, très professionnel, besoins bien ciblés et comblés.
I received my kit, and my results in a timely manor, it all went down hill from there. My DNA test from My Heritage showed no evidence of my American Indian ethnicity, but I have records that indicate that I'm of Indian descent The people that were listed as sharing my DNA do not exist in my family tree. After I sent an e-mail to complain, I could not longer access the information that was sent to me in its entirety. I don't understand what's going on and I cannot reach My Heritage by phone.
I tried to call about an invoice, but as no membership number was mentioned om the invoice I had received, I had to log in and find it on the website. I wasn't succesfull in this. But before I knew My Heritage called me, and helped me with my questions and everything. Kindly, nicely and quicky. Very smooth.
Answer: My issue was the automatic renewal without any kind of courtesy reminder prior to the effective date, as other businesses do. Advising one year in advance is a poor business practice. When I contacted them immediately on the renewal effective date, they refused to cancel and offered me a 25% discount. They eventually gave me the full refund but it was due to me turning it over to AMEX to resolve. I do however agree with the advice to base your renewal on your own personal experience.
Answer: You can find your site subscriptions via MyHeritage homepage - pull-down menu on the right upper corner button "Settings". Then click on "My purchases", and button "Site subscriptions". Click "View details". The details contain section "Cancel subscription". Maybe you can get advice by mail from MyHeritage support team (support@myheritage.com).
Answer: If you are looking to get as many connections to your tree that you can, use My Heritage. If you want flexibility in who is added to your tree, use Ancestry.
Answer: Dear Jonathan and fellow users, In regards to the FTB not working, I may have found a solution, please follow these directions. Please right click on the FTB icon on your desktop, and click on 'Properties': Once you have opened the 'Properties' menu then click on the 'Compatibility' tab: If the field "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" is checked, and it says below "Windows 7", uncheck the box. Please let me know if this has solved the issue. Should this not work for you then please get in touch with the support team at support@myheritage.com from your registered MyHeritage email address and a friendly representative will help you at the first available moment. Kind Regards, Dean, MyHeritage Team.

Answer: I believe a direct ancestor is someone without whom you would not be here. All your other ancestors are indirect.
