Vorfahren Tafel
November 7, 2024

Ich bin ansonsten sehr zufrieden aber mit Plausibilitätsprüfung nicht so.
Es gibt Punkte was wirklich sind aber anscheinend nicht so angenommen werden.
Mein 1. Mann war um 38 Jahre älter.
Die Geb.Daten zwischen Katharina Oberländer und Stanislaus Prislan sind leider nicht
Anders diese sind auch im Arolsen Archiv zu finden.
Dann gibts noch Punkte was ich selber noch erarbeiten muss,das ich gewisse
Matches noch nicht bestättigen kann.
Sonst ein großes Lob meinerseits.
Danke LG Gertraud Sabanovic

Jetzt rollt der Ball
November 7, 2024

Mit eher dürftigen Unterlagen sind wir mit unserem Stammbaum angefangen. Nach nunmehr fast 3 Jahren kommen immer mehr Daten zusammen und aus unserem schmalen Stamm ist eine riesige "Buche" geworden. Wir sind wirklich stolz auf das Ergebnis. Vielen Dank an MyHeritage!

Fantastic experience
November 7, 2024

Finding our roots is a must in our life.
I never thought it was possible to go back so far in time and with such precision. My Heritage has helped me find relatives that I didn't even know about.

Great search engine
November 7, 2024

It's been very interesting to research members of my family and finding out how far back I can go. We are reliant on others putting up information, which you match to your tree, sometimes there are difficulties but generally it's been so much fun

Niightmare for serious genealogists
November 7, 2024

Professional genealogists, and/or serious amateur genealogists, are a demographic group that needs to be considered differently in your protocols for fraud protection of sites, collaboration and DNA uploading. Many of us manage well over 20 accounts. Your two step verification is a very real problem for international collaboration. Your collaboration limits one to collaborate with only 20 persons. Your uploading of DNA restrictions to when a kit was purchased is ridiculous because people die and cannot redo a test, and older persons will never give money a second time. PLEASE PLEASE make things easier for those of us who are seriously behind DNA and genealogy and are your best salespersons!

Mr
November 7, 2024

Finds relations but does not keep tree aligned so double ups of people occur and one line has to be deleted. The problem is exasperated by duplicate names throughout family lines and if not direct family it is hard to untangle the families. More experience may eventually help.

Loving MyHeritage
November 7, 2024

I love using MyHeritage and learning about my family history which I was always completely in the dark about. This service has opened up a new world to me. I have also called in to use their live customer service. The help I received was amazing! The rep was very knowledgeable and patient. He spent all the time I needed to help me better understand the MyHeritage system. He was a great listener and was able to answer all my questions. It is great knowing the agents are always there in case we need them. They really know the service inside and out.

Heritage has been helpful!
November 7, 2024

I tried Heritage and then canceled. A year later, I tried again and also had my DNA done. It has been very helpful finding information on my family! The newspaper options are great. I realize that I had not given them a chance on my first attempt.

Would Like to Give Zero Stars
November 7, 2024

I have been locked out of this site 6/7 times in the last 3 month from 1 to 4 days. It states a security issue and always seems to happen when I give bad feedback on the App or to a phone caller, trying to sell me more packages. The discoveries are also questionable, I am in no way related to Charles 2nd or Rob Roy, but they say they are distant relations

I LOVE MY HERITAGE
November 7, 2024

I first joined MyHeritage some years ago and when I retired and had to time to devote to research I signed up as a fully subscribed member. I have never regretted it for a minute. It is easy to use and their resources are growing more as time goes on with the recent addition of newspaper articles which have proved to be so helpful and quite fascinating.
