I have been with My Heritage for quite a number of years and have been very happy with them. My Heritage has an easy to use family tree builder, access to billions of historical records, DNA testing with amazing discoveries about your ancestry and also very impressive photo tools. I have found the customer support for any problems that I have had to be excellent.
Iinformation the site offers is useful and clear; my problem is that I have more information than I can organize and use properly. Even though I'm now retired, I cannot find enough time to deal with the information, so I know I have a lot of inconsistencies which should be corrected. I also am sure that better knowledge of organizing processes would help, so I'm looking for resources nearby.
I find that My Heritage is a top site for family research. I have received many emails from My Heritage that correspond to my research. As a person there told me, the more research I do, the more suggestions I will receive. The suggestions are often right on point and have helped me find family members I was unaware of. I have, from time to time, spoken to staff at My Heritage, and I can say that they are not only helpful, but polite and friendly. Unfortunately, I did not renew my subscription this year; certainly not because I didn't want to. I made a choice based on the financial resources I have. If you are considering joining, I highly recommend it.
You can check back on what I had reported. I was without 2 important functions in the phots section for editing. I went a long time without the service because I was given inaccurate pop up messages for those functions. Now, finally this 2 functions have been corrected, another issues has arisen. I select translate to English and it switches to english. But never remains there. It seems that whatever I do it keeps switching back to the Thai language. I keep having to select translate to english repeatedly. It is not working correctly. I went to my settings but never changed them. But the problem was created after the other issues got resolved. Please check this. It's not the setting on my end. I have already tried and it doesn't fix the issue.
I took out a subscription to My Heritage and was happy to find family members online. However, my inexperience with the softwear led me to add many hundreds of family members, without realising that I needed to synch each addition with my tree before adding the next person. This has led me to having multiple persons duplicated unknowingly, but causing confusion within my family tree. I am faced with the probability of deleting most of my tree and starting afresh. I appreciate it is my fault due to my lack of knowledge of the software, but it has spoilt my enjoyment pf an otherwise excellent program. Kind regards Laurie Oliver
Ich hatte während längerer Zeit ein gröberes Syncrhonisationsproblem zwischen dem Web und dem FTB. Auch der Support konnte es zuerst nicht lösen. Eden vom Support übernahm den Fall und scheute keine Mühe, mir zu helfen. Nun ist das Problem gelöst. Ganz herzlichen Dank.
Sowieso bin ich ganz begeistert von MyHeritage, insbesondere von den Zugriffsmöglichkeiten auf Millionen von Dokumenten. Eine Anregung habe ich: Meine Frau und ich liessen eine DNA Analyse machen. Es ist schwierig, diese zu interpretieren. Hier wäre eine für Laien geeigntete Erläuterung oder auch Links zu solchen Erläuterungen hilfreich.

אתר מדהים, שירות תמיכה מעולה, ממליצה בחום לחבריי ומשפחתי ליהנות מכם. תחושת שלווה, יש על מי לסמוך. התמיכה היתה מועילה עניינית ומקצועית. תבוכו במעשיכם. יש מה ללמוד מאנשי המקצוע שלכם. החלפת כתובת מייל חשפה אותי לאילן שלי.
Eden hat mir über TeamView sehr gut geholfen und einen zum zweiten Mal aufgetretenen Synchronisierungsfehler "Fehler 11" beseitigt.
Nachdem wieder mal kein deutschsprachiger Mitarbeiter zu Verfügung stand konnte ir trotz extremer Sprachschwierigkeiten geholfen werden; Danke Maja
Answer: My issue was the automatic renewal without any kind of courtesy reminder prior to the effective date, as other businesses do. Advising one year in advance is a poor business practice. When I contacted them immediately on the renewal effective date, they refused to cancel and offered me a 25% discount. They eventually gave me the full refund but it was due to me turning it over to AMEX to resolve. I do however agree with the advice to base your renewal on your own personal experience.
Answer: You can find your site subscriptions via MyHeritage homepage - pull-down menu on the right upper corner button "Settings". Then click on "My purchases", and button "Site subscriptions". Click "View details". The details contain section "Cancel subscription". Maybe you can get advice by mail from MyHeritage support team (support@myheritage.com).
Answer: If you are looking to get as many connections to your tree that you can, use My Heritage. If you want flexibility in who is added to your tree, use Ancestry.
Answer: Dear Jonathan, Yes I have the same problem, I wrote to My Heritage and they have still not responded to my request for assistance. They are highly Sloppy and unprofessional in responding to customer request for assistance. Even though they have and excellent Technical Team. Fortunately I have another Computer with Windows 8 as a result of which I am able to continue working with my Website. But recently a few problems have cropped up with the recent upgrade of the My Heritage Program and have sent in a request for assistance and till today 3-5 months later I have no response. Apparently the company believes that they can play games with the customers. I firmly believe that they have somehow gone into self destructive mode.

Answer: Hi After posting my complaint about MyHeritage on here I got a very quick response from some one called Dave at the company. He told me to send an email to support@myheritage.com and add the subject Dave: sitejabber. He responded a couple of days later - I emailed on a Saturday - and the auto repeat on my subscription was cancelled and my money refunded within days. Hope this helps.
