I have used MyHeritage for several years. I like the screen view of our tree and the hints that pop up. I do have an issue with tracing and sorting out duplicates within the tree. It's a bit of a pain that so many window tabs open during a session. I like that I can colour code direct ancestors/descendants. There is a good range of reports that can be produced. The photo repair/animate features are great. I'd like to be able to export GEDCOM directly from MH.

I have been using MyHeritage for many years since I first initially started a tree in Geni and then switched over. I also use MyHeritage Family Tree Builder which syncs with the main website and they update each other when doing so, however just the main site and adding Discoveries it finds can add duplicates to the tree with similar but incomplete information depending on which source the Discovery is getting it's information from. If from other people's family trees that are not fact checked against official census, birth or death or marriage and immigration records you can add individuals that are already in your Family Tree Builder but are not recognized by the main website tree.

I now do all of my work in MyHeritage Family Tree Builder and when I get a notification from the main website double-check to see if some of the possible new people I could add are already in my tree. Discoveries have been useful to add new information and in many cases additional marriages of ancestors as when a spouse passed away it did not take many of them long to remarry and blended families were the result of his, her and our children which can then be checked against official records.

The other area that could be improved is a better way to contact people with incorrect family trees when receiving a DNA match Theory of Relativity. I have many cases of having a grandfather in someone else's tree actually being an uncle or cousin in my tree, so there may be a DNA connection but it's the wrong person. It would be nice when rejecting the connection in the other person's tree if an option could be given to easily contact the tree manager to explain the rejection and offer them the correct information resulting in more accurate Theories being offered.

There are many new innovations being offered which are cool but these tree building improvements would make it even better.

Tien jaar heeft mijzelf reeds vele ancestors/voorouders inzake de "warme kant" opgeleverd met MyHeritage. MyHeritage heeft een trucendoos, die ik niet in haar geheel gebruik. Zelfleren is een betere methode om hier kennis van te nemen.
Ik ben in hoofdzaak druk met relevante informatie, waaronder bijvoorbeeld 'matches', in mijn systeem op te slaan, te ordenen en te bewaren. Een monnikenarbeid die ik exact en zorgvukdig duidelijk probeer. Het is dus niet lukraak info assembleren en opbergen.
MyHeritage is in die tien jaar doorontwikkeld en familieverwantschappen aangaande mijn echtgenote heeft hetonderzoek naar aantallen treffers 'verdubbeld'. Ook DNA heeft een meerwaarde waar ik probeer kennis van te nemen.
Dit alles en ook MyHeritage leermomenten om door te nemen boeien en houden mij scherp.
Ik kom eeuwen tijd tekort.

I've used My Heritage for about three years and have had a lot of success in building my family tree and finding information and matching information on my ancestors. I like that they add more data periodically. I have also done the DNA tests from My Heritage and found a few cousins I didn't know about. I don't really pay much attention to matches that come back with the really low percentage of accuracy, so I haven't dug into those.
