After some trial and error a few years ago, I ended up with a page in MyHeritage. It was one smart choice would be seen as time passed. I chose a side of my father's family and one side of my mother's family, not something I would recommend if the families are large. Better and have all gathered on a page.
Start-up and creation of a family tree at MyHeritage is free and only after several years if the tree has been great, it will cost a bit, but it's worth itathered at one familieside.

If what goes wrong
December 27, 2015

For eight years I make as a premium-member use of the great Family Tree Builder of My Heritage. Then there are what go wrong. And if the digital Help ultimately in my case no solution, then there is the personal support from My Heritage Support Team. A great service!

Try, try again...
December 24, 2015

I've always had good experience with customer service in the past. This time, the information given to me to solve my problem didn't work. I was trying to delete an unwanted photograph. The support person fixed my problem himself, deleting the unwanted photo, then gave me a different set of instructions on how to do it... which did work when I tried it on a different photo. The end result was satisfactory; however, I think the correct steps should have been offered the first time. All's well that ends well... just my valuable time was lost.

Customer Service
December 24, 2015

The lady that helped me gave me a detailed description of the answer to my question. She went on to describe if I did this or that and how it would not affect anything on my tree. I was afraid if I clicked that a person was a match that it would automatically connect our trees. She very carefully explained what steps were involved. I am very glad I had her answer my question.
I got an answer back within 24 hours.

I am using MyHeritage Family Tree Builder for more than eight years. The software is very friendly and the technical support very good and quick. The publication fees for the tree low. I recommend the site and the software to everybody who love genealogy.

Very Helpful Support Team
December 21, 2015

In migrating from a PC to a Macbook, I was unable to restore my tree into Family Tree Builder on my new laptop. The support team gave me step-by-step instructions to diagnose the problem and then offered the right solution. I am up and running again thanks to the MyHeritage support team!

I recently contacted customer support service regarding a free upgrade to my tree. I was not sure of what all was provided. I got several responses from Dean at Support Services and he completely explained to me just what I was and was not entitled to receive in a very in depth email. I was very happy with the quality of service that was provided to me!

Love this site/app
December 15, 2015

Myheritage has been very useful in setting up our family tree. We had notes and Excell files, but now we have everything arranged into a single source, and it's easy accesible for everyone.
I love the reminder e-mails it sends with birthdays and anniversarys!

DNA activation
December 14, 2015

I purchased a DNA kit from MyHeritage. It took several weeks to get the kit. Then when I tried on several occasions to activate the kit, I had no success. I emailed MyHeritage and everything fell into place. Not sure what the issue was with my kit but it was taken care of in a timely manner.

Better than expected
December 13, 2015

Hallo, Ik gebruik MY HERITAGE reeds sinds omstreeks 2011 (?). In het begin wel wat moeten zoeken voor wat betreft de invoer, maar na enkele pogingen bleek toch dat het programma intuïtief en gebruiksvriendelijk is. Veel plezier mee gehad en ook dankbaar voor de hulp die mij steeds werd geboden i. V. m. Matches. Ook de spoedige en rechtstreekse hulp van het supportcenter is belangrijk geweest. Doe zo voort een groetjes (*******@telenet.be)

De software is vrij overzichtelijk. En de site die eraan gekoppeld wordt is heel leuk om je stamboom te delen met je familie. Eens je je gezin invoerde, heb je direct zin om de grootouders in te voeren, en de nonkels&tantes, en, en en...
Dus als de software je zo motiveert om ermee te werken, dan ze toch niet slecht zijn?

De support die je krijgt is duidelijk, en vlug. Persoonlijk had ik een probleempje met de site, maar de helpdesk legde me binnen de 24u klaar en duidelijk uit wat er mis liep.

Enig minpuntje is misschien de prijs voor een premium. Dit zou in mijn ogen iets lager/anders moeten kunnen. Maar ik heb dit ook nog niet in detail bekeken, dus durf er ook niet meer over zeggen. Ik vind het wat jammer dat om andere stambomen te koppelen, je moet betalen. Maar natuurlijk als je je eigen stamboom goed onderhoudt...;)

Kortom, een echte aanrader!
