MyHeritage

I since 2004 working with MyHeritage.
Was then taken up by verwandt.de here when this page was closed.
The first few years I was a member and the base but always had a good service. Never remained unanswered.
Starting this year, I am now Premiummtiglied and therefore also the service has improved.
It is in principle promised what and so I could expand from 87 to now 460 the number of people in my family tree from September to November 2015th

Many thanks to MyHeritage for the beautiful side and taking good care.

I have enjoyed researching my family tree and have made many discoveries because I was adopted and I didn't know who my family were for many years. Since then I have met many cousins, a sister and a brother and am still close to them.
Now I am in my 80's and I am probably not as astute as I was, so last year i signed up for a premium plus package but I didn't use it as much as I thought I would. Recently I received notice from My Heritage that I had signed up for auto continuation and the amount was taken out of my bank. I was horrified, I didn't realise I had signed up for that and I desperately needed that money. I contacted them, explained my position and thankfully they have now refunded the money, I am so grateful.

So I'd hit a roadblock in my search and discovered as much as I thought was possible. My next logical step was to close the account, because I couldn't (i. E.: didn't have the tools) research any further than I'd accomplished on basic search. I raised a ticket to delete my account all together (I'd already saved to GEDCOM file). Charlotte in Support reached out to me in response to the open ticket and helped me navigate through the real challenges I was having with my search, providing a brilliant resolution to my quest for more information. I'm delighted by the outcome and appreciate the non-aggressive approach to 'saving' the account. Definitely one delighted site user. Thank you for the 'discovery' of kindness in a place I wasn't searching.

Stay away from MyHeritage, its an unscrupulous, dishonest company with a misleading website. We received an offer of a 30 day Free Trial which said we could cancel at any time within the 30 day trial period and would not be charged. We signed up and they IMMEDIATELY (within minutes) charged our account $105. We cancelled the account and asked for a refund, but have not received one.

If you are confident that you have Native American ancestry, then I would highly recommend that you do not waste your $$ on a DNA kit through My Heritage. Prior to ordering, my representative assured me, that unless I was from the Cherokee tribe, my Native American backround would be captured, and included on the report. Sadly, there was no mention of my NA ancestry on the report, and my attempts for a satisfactory explanation from a My Heritage representative failed miserably. When I expressed my complete dissatisfaction, she went on to say that she was not an expert, and would have an email sent to me by someone who has more experience. Well, glad to know that after I waited nearly an hour on hold to be told this. So much for competent Technical Support... I will not be doing business with My Heritage again, and would highly recommend that you do research before you order a DNA kit from them.

Today I contacted My Heritage because I have not received the DNA that was ordered for my sister. I was immediately answered by William who helped me with my problem and even provided additional information to me. I submitted my DNA to ancestry.com and my sisters through My Heritage. There is no comparison and My Heritage is far more user friendly! I wish now I had used them for my DNA! If youre on the fence, I would recommend My Heritage. I would also recommend that William get a bonus. No, we are not related. I will keep his name and if I do need help, I hope I get him!

Love the fact that when I have an issue with my family tree, that MyHeritage support team actually listens to what I am trying to do and then sends me a detailed email of how to do what I need to do. I can even have my own idea of what I need to do but since they do listen, they always explain in simple terms of what they think I want to do and then send me the email. The last issue I had, I was trying something so difficult and confusing, they listened and gave me the solution, no attitude, just glad to help!

I manage my husband's tree as he won't go on line. I was afraid that the Heritage people would only deal with him but aftrr a few questions to verify who I was everything was fine. A lady called Alon was very helpful and patient as I am slow at typing and not too computer literate. I had ordered charts and when I tried to view them they gave an error message. She went through how to generate the charts. They showed up ok on her computer but gave error messages on mine. She advised removing Adobe and reinstating it. She also helped me to insert my Father onto the tree. The problem arose becaus his name was George William but he had a brother Gearge (Who died at a few months old) and a brother William. I wouldn't hesitate to ring them again. JH.

I am very happy I got an immediate response to deleting my sister's email. I think I can trust My Heritage completely, I may not be able to pay for any of these services, therefore, if that is the case, I might discontinue with My Heritage, since it's not free. But for now, its interesting, the only part theyleave out is what your family tree did, like I want to know about centuries ago, if there were any nobility in Austria or Germany in the Leckner Family and whatever else they did in life, like moneylenders, landowners, farmers, aristocracy, lawyers, teachers, whatever.

Thankyou

My issue was changing the name of my Family Tree. I couldn't find any FAQ's in the manual so I went online and got directions on how to change the name online. I followed the directions but still wasn't able to change the name. When I phoned tech support, after a not-too-long wait and to make a long story short, I was instructed how to change the name, and it turned out that the directions for changing the name in the Builder were different from those for changing the name online. Once I got that sorted out, changing the name was a snap. Olivia was courteous and very patient. I have now traced my tree back to my Great Grandfather, in the meantime having added almost 700 names to my tree, with at least that many more to add. My Heritage is a fantastic tool for creating a family tree with so many features and report options, as well as telling you what each person's relationship is to the Manager of the tree. I love it! I don't understand why anyone would say My Heritage is a scam.

My heritage is a very great tool to find out our origin but one thing that I hope the customer support can improve is to provide an option for transgender both mtf/ftm to be able to choose our sex in our profile. Due to the misgiven informations led to technical error and its effects the procedure and so the result puts on hold. And that is a little bit disappointed as we (clients) expected to get the result within a timeframe given. I hope the management team will take this into account.
