I recently contacted customer support service regarding a free upgrade to my tree. I was not sure of what all was provided. I got several responses from Dean at Support Services and he completely explained to me just what I was and was not entitled to receive in a very in depth email. I was very happy with the quality of service that was provided to me!
I had a namesake in another tree frequently presenting as me in theories of relationships. When I visited the site, I got a message that this namesake was me. The profile was even adorned with a photograph of myself. I wrote to MF help a note asking if they knew what to do. Shortly, I received a friendly phone call. The same day I then got a notification that the problem was solved, and it truly was. I am thankful that the case was so quickly resolved.
I opened an email from MyHeritage while in Greece so MyHeritage (understandably) thought I was Greek and changed the language accordingly. Sent email and problem immediately solved. Emails now in English.
Thanks
I only wanted to know how to access another's website but could only talk to Tech support as there was no one else made available for this topic. I was #12 in line and I finally got through after about ten minutes.
My non tech question was answered even though it was not a tech matter.
Nlarge your menu to include non tech questions and don't make thew wait so long!
I sent an email to MyHeritage with a question. In about an hour, Chris called to discuss the issue. Surprised by his call I actually had to gather myself. I never had customer service call me back! I digress; Chris completely understood my situation and had a remedy very quickly. He was enjoyable to talk with, pleasant, caring, and patient. He has a great phone voice. Having worked in customer service myself, I vote for Chris to get a raise! Thanks for calling Chris.
I complained about not having the "Total" status I have in MyHeritage also in Geni. The support person said he will check and let me know. I complained about having to log-in every time I open "MyHeritage". The assistant guided me through clearing history and cookies, it seems to have solved the problem. I asked about heritage of my site in case I can no longer manage it. The assistant guided me through adding managers to my site
I am very pleased the way my problem was taken care of.
I got very friendly service with the thought that now the thing is fixed.
I felt so good as a customer.
Thank you so much
And we cannot wait my husbands dna -kit to arrive.
Yours,

For eight years I make as a premium-member use of the great Family Tree Builder of My Heritage. Then there are what go wrong. And if the digital Help ultimately in my case no solution, then there is the personal support from My Heritage Support Team. A great service!

I originally called a while back to ask a few questions about the subscription services... namely the ultimate subscription with everything. I've used other family tree sites & not had the best luck. I was concerned about spending the money on a subscription to My Heritage & the gentleman on the other end immediately offered a free month ultimate for me to see if I liked it or not. I agreed to try it & I have not been disappointed! So far so good! I'm enrolling in the ultimate subscription today!
The man was so very sweet. He was so considerate and came back on the line a few times while he was checking out my problem. He wanted me to know they were working on it and had not forgotten me. BTW loved the accent.
I wanted to list all those on my tree who had lived in a particular place and my husband said it would be a nice feature but that it couldn't be done on My Heritage. I quickly called the Helpline, was on hold for no more than 20 secs and then spoke to the charming and helpful Talia who handheld me as she walked me through the minimum of steps to reach my goal. Brilliant solution and even better support from Talia.
My Heritage program has been fun listing my ancestors and building my family tree.
When help is needed the support team is wonderful and they have both online information and they offer personal answers quickly as well. Thank you for your support, My Heritage team.
I have think My Heritage been using My Heritage for several years. Recently Laura helped me resolve an information storage problem. Her response was so quick, so clear in instructions for me to follow and problem resolved effortlessly. I think My Heritage is great.

The lady that looked after me tried her best to resolve my problem. After nstalling Google Chrome I got to the same place as I did on my own. When I went to touch submit. There was a circle that kept going around but nothing else happened. She did what she had to do she referredthis problem to her superiors. They will get back to me with an answer within three working days. I will let you know how this works out.
My family paid together to trace my father there found nothing, still took the money now my file as been lost can not log inn, tried to reset log in 10 times no email sent tried to phone number does not exist and no communication on line available what a waste of time this company is *******@hotmail.co.uk is my email if the company can bothered to contact me or just take money give me 12th cousin etc and ignore me rip off
They call me in Spain. I have to pay to receive the call.
They give me incomplete information. I ask a question and because they don't know the answer they don't reply. This website is sponsored by the Mormon Church. They have ulterior motives, based on an absurd notion of family lineage, sort of like the sacred underwear.
Dear Michael,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience with Myheritage and I will do all I can to help.
Firstly, I must clarify that Myheritage is not sponsored by the Mormon Church and we have no ulterior motives other than supporting our 89 million registered users in researching their family trees using the various tools we offer.
I would like to investigate who called you exactly and answer any questions that you may have as soon as possible.
Please contact me directly at rafael.vipsupport@myheritage.com from your registered e-mail address so I may give you the help that you are in need of getting.
You are already my first priority here and I will be looking for your e-mail.
Kind Regards
Rafael

I accepted the one week trial that said it was only $10 a month after that. I figured I would keep it a month to see if it was worth it since a week in not sufficient. They withdrew $120 from my account and when I called to cancel and request a refund because their offer is totally misleading they only gave me half of my money back and I will only have access to this crappy site for 6 months. I have no more use for this site since further records requires me to purchase a premium account so they can take more of my money. Stay away from these crooks.
Dear Zoe,
Thank you for your review here on SiteJabber.
Would you be so kind as to write to support@myheritage.com from your registered email address and also place my name in the subject field of your email.
This will ensure that you are forwarded to me and I will look into this matter personally for you.
Thank you for your cooperation and I look forward to your reply.
Kind Regards,
Dean,
MyHeritage Team.
The staff at My Heritage were very professional and helpful. They looked into the two deductions that were made from my account very quickly and had no issue with refunding them. They would be the only family tree website that i would deal with.

Used the site last year and need to subscribe for the level of information I was after. Got loads of relevant and helpful information and shared information with someone I got in contact with. No time for this hobby this year and had forgotten until a subscription was taken. - Then I emailed to cancel, on a Saturday, Money was refunded within an hour- excellent!
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.
