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.

MyHeritage
April 24, 2016

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.

Understanding my DNA
January 27, 2018

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.

Problem Solved
April 18, 2017

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

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.

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.

Very Helpful Support Team
December 21, 2015

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!

Good performance
March 5, 2018

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!

DNA Matches
October 12, 2016

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

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.
