Most of the hints you send me, are photos I have posted on other sites. You are hard to log into because you require a certain browser--chrome only. Other browsers protect me from fraud and scammers and advertisements I do not want.
I haven't found any value in your service yet.

Une expérience très "addictive"
February 13, 2025

Une curiosité avec un peu d'appréhension au début,puis après l'essai,très concluant,une envie d'aller toujours plus loin.Des erreurs( un père plus jeune que son fils par exemple) on revient en arrière puis on accélère grâce aux nombreux documents stockés chez My héritage.le soir on éteint l'ordi et le lendemain,un paquet de propositions venant du site my héritage t'attend! A toi de faire le tri.

Finding information about ancestors and cousins is surprisingly easy and fruitful. I like the newspapers feature. Matching other trees has helped me find many cousins and relatives.

Ancestry Information
February 13, 2025
Updated review

The amount of information coming to me is very exciting. There is a lot to absorb and it can be a bit overwhelming at times

Interesting informative and great fun

Previous review

I am always getting updates, and plenty of them. Most are people I have heard of over the years but some I am not able to verify as those who might know, unfortunately, have long since passed. IE. Names, dates, relationships and in some instances, locations. But it is very overwhelming to think of all the people that are connected to me. But I quest in a way it all makes sense. I.E. My paternal grandfather was one of 14 siblings. And the names never change that much which of course males it more confusing. But! Such fun!

I really like that I can click the "Discoveries" tab and "Matches by Source" to select a specific source of records, for example, the censuses for various years (and many others). It shows me the information for each person as it appears in the census record and shows the information I have for that person in my tree.

I asked MyHeritage to improve the functioning of their "Discoveries" feature. They have done it. Now, when you click on "Discoveries", "Matches by source" and select the source you want, you can click "Review Match" and when you are done, it returns you to where you were in the source listing.

I am super pleased that they have programmed the system so that it is more responsive to my research needs. It is now so much quicker for me to gather the information I want in order to put my tree participants into a community context.

Thanks MyHeritage!

Mostly it is easy to navigate this program there are things that are confusing and hard to find. Some family members I know there is more information yet can 't find it. I had made a tree many yrs ago but it had become compromised so I did not contilnue it. So started a new one. This is how I know there is more infor on people

After putting some names and dates you know by heart, it was quick to get names of other relatives and fill the tree with help of someone else family tree. Of course there might be mistakes, but you have at least something to follow. Mastering of your tree is your work anyway.

Inviting family
February 13, 2025

I used to have the access to invite other family members, but it was taken off this year because I'm not the one who started the tree. However, the one who founded the family tree, gave me all the rights because she doesn't use it any more. She's with Geni. The access was taken off because I had started another tree but I have now deleted it. I sent a note to the original founder, but since she's not with MyHeritage, I haven't received the answer and unfortunately don't know her email address. I've been a member for eight years, always had the access to invite family, so I don't know why I'm treated this way.

I have been a member of MyHeritage for several years now. I took advantage of the DNA program last year just out of curiosity. When the results came back I was shocked! It revealed that I had a half-brother I was unaware of. Our mother died when I was just three. I have one biological brother who is 1 1/2 years younger than me. I am now 65 y/o. Apparently my mother had him 7 years before me and gave him up for adoption. He grew up an only child. He now has 2 brothers! We have already met in person and now talk on the phone frequently. We have another reunion coming up this Summer!
Thank you MyHeritage!

I have been a member of My Heritage for many years and have progressed as the system grew and acquired more data. Unfortunately, it has also become very expensive and I fear that I will not be able to afford the membership in the next few years.
