Most helful support
July 23, 2018

I recently called the support system for help with my DNA results. The staff that took my call was not only very helpful but as pleasant as could be. He listened to my questions and walked me through everything I needed help with. He was very patience and caring to my plight. Thank you so much.

I contacted them that I was having problems printing trees and that all I was getting was errors and garbled trees. They sent me a message of how to print a tree, Really did you not even read the message, still not resolved.

I spoke to Laurie from MyHeritage. She was so approachable, listened to my family stories with patience and interest and addressed my questions with expertise and sound advice on possible future purchases. It was really a very reassuring and helpful call to Laurie. Highest praise to her! wish so many other call-takers had her gifts/skills!

I had a problem in my program, which prevented me from adding a kin to it. The Common Questions section of Heritage Support Center had not proper answer to the mishap. I sent them a letter, described the dilemma, and after few days they fixed what was wrong.

For some reason, I had to change my password and it turned out that my settings were associated with an Email that I had stopped using. After several attempts to do it online, there was no choice and my sites co-manager had to call MyHeritage on the phone and a lady called me back on July 19 and arranged it all on the phone, leaving us, my co-manager and myself, with 2 separate settings of login for the same website!

I had signed up with MyHeritage when I wanted to build some sort of a family tree to see where one side of my family came from. Then I seemed to have more time available which I used to search out details to fill in the spaces. Then my domain- based email address expired. Because I hadn't been using the service I wasn't conscious that I had stopped getting helpful suggestions about people I might have been related to. Not being able to remember when my membership started I thought they will email me to ask me to renew it. But of course I forgot they only had an address which no longer existed. The first indication I had was that a payment showed up in my bank statement. Trying to prepare myself for a verbal duel with a robotic voiced call centre clerk, I phoned. I have listened to many accounts on Radio4 of people doing battle with airlines, telephone providers and subscription services so I knew what to expect.
But no. The phone rang, a recording told me I was first in the queue and in no time I was talking to Eve who was eager to hear this rather boring story. "That's not a problem," she says when I explained that I really hadn't intended to renew, "I'll cancel that and arrange to refund the payment we took." Then she sent me an email confirming all this and asking, very politely, if I would write what you have just read.

Disappointed
July 19, 2018

Immediately started trying to build a tree using my grandfather who was a state senator, a colonel in the US Army, and a very prominent businessman and I could find nothing of consequence in the MyHeritage database. If one so prominent as this was lacking for data then finding my European relatives was a non-starter.

There are some imperfections with the structure and analysis tools, as there is with all genealogical software, but in the main it works very well and has given me many enjoyable hours with few frustrations. Importantly, on those rare occasions where something goes wrong I have found the telephone support to be excellent - courteous, competent, enthusiastic, and (usually) able to solve the problem.

Hatte die Hilfeseiten nicht gelesen und war mir nicht sicher, wie man Personen löscht, also habe ich angerufen. Die Dame der Hotline war sehr nett. Sie ist mit mir jeden einzelnen Schritt in Ruhe und verständlich durchgegangen, so konnten wir das Problem gemeinsam lösen. Vielen Dank für die nette Hilfe.

Talade med en trevlig människa med tålamod som var villig att hjälpa kunden till rätta. Med kunskap över det vanliga, lotsade hon mig till sidor på MyHeritage, så att mina kunskaper ökade och alla frågor fick bra svar.
