I had an issue with a file I could not find after not using the software for some years. The support service has been great trying to help in every possible way. Even if the lost file could'nt be found, I have been satisfied by the involvement of the the three persons that handled my issue. They also offered a free backup service as a compensation. Greatly satisfying support service.

Customer service
May 6, 2020

I could not access my family tree which I started several years ago. I left a message and was contacted from customer service by AARON who very patiently and politely tried every possibility until he managed to find out my business email address which I had used upon establishing my account with My heritage. That email does not exist anymore. Unless AARON's kind assistance, the tree would have been lost. Many thanks!

Purchased 3 DNA kits 6 months ago. Took the samples and posted them back, and... nothing. Got no info back and impossible to contact them. Emails bounce back. Calls to their listed numbers fail. Thieves without a doubt

Estou ansiosa pelos resultados, porque vai ser uma experiência maravilhosa de uma viagem ao passado através do DNA, além de poder conhecer através dos genes os meus riscos genéticos! Muito obrigada My Heritage e sua equipe de suporte.

The site has lots of pluses, but a few irritants as well. After several tries at support I found courtesy and good intentions, but I didn't get the answer that worked until my 3rd or 4th try. Also it is frustratingly difficult to extend known lines of descent.
However MyHeritage has superb tools for finding links to possible relatives and for getting in touch with whoever posted given information.

So patient!
May 4, 2020

The young lady who helped me was so patient. My problem was pretty complex and she just kept working through it without any attitude. She was pleasant through the whole process with this hard of hearing old lady. Thank you so much, Pat Moak

I only have the highest of praise for MyHeritage. I contacted the site with what I feared to be a complex issue. What I found on the other side of the phone was a quick resolve with the most excellent, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and caring representative. Luke was not only attentive, he provided wonderful insight delivered with such thoughtful understanding. I will remember his kindness with much appreciation and continued gratitude.

I want to make everyone aware of what a great service Hertiage.com performs. My sister and I did DNA tests through Heritage, hoping to find out more about our background and who we were. However more importantly, we had been involved in a lifelong search for our sister Eva, who our Mother got separated from during the Holocaust. She was 2 so it was doubtful that she would know her name. We tried everything humanly possible to find her. We got a match, a DNA match that could not be ignored. We found our sister and her family. We took this match to Heritages team, we were lucky enough ro find Sophie and Nitay on the team These two are so compassionate and caring I am so honored to know them. They are such a valuable asset to Heritage. Thank you Heritage and Thank you Nitay and Sophie We will never forget what you have done for us.

Respectfully

Remerciements
April 29, 2020

Je tiens très sincèrement à remercier la personne qui a résolu mon problème qui perdurait depuis presque 2 années. Je tiens aussi à faire amende honorable si je me suis un peu emporté car j'avais l'impression que je n'arrivais pas faire passer mon message, mais avec le professionnalisme et la persévérance de cette personne tout s'est très bien terminé. Cette personne a fait preuve d'une extrême compétence, il semble qu'elle connaisse parfaitement bien ce produit. Encore merci de me redonner la possibilité de pouvoir continuer mon arbre.
Je suis un client heureux et satisfait
Cordialement

MY MyHeritage Review
April 27, 2020

MyHeritage has enabled me to go as far back as 870 A. D./C. E. I enrolled in two different DNA sites (one that goes 10s to 100s of thousands years in the past BY DNA) and MyHeritage. Both concluded that I was not as "Irish" as I thought. I had been going off of recent name only. With all the wars that occurred in Europe over the years, it would be hard to determine country heritage since even the boundaries and countries have changed often. I have been please with MyHeritage and even upgraded my account. PERSONALLY I ran into a problem with the "health" aspect because of trying to activate the health portion. I have had many relatives die from cancer, which included my father. To activate my health portion, I needed to list what kind of cancer to continue. My father died from colon cancer but for my uncles and aunts, their cancers weren't listed and I couldn't continue with the activation. I would have given a higher rating except for the problem I had with the health aspect.
