MyHeritage is the "Johnny Appleseed" of genealogy - they give you countless tools, resources and different ways to build a family tree... or a whole orchard of trees if you choose. It's still up to you to keep adding branches, but no other genealogy site out there will have the resources and possibilities MyHeritage has.

Satisfied but ……..
July 1, 2025

Generally an excellent family tree software but ……. Ease of use when receiving hints by email. Finding the corresponding person is sometimes difficult. Working with DNA is difficult. Ancestry is more logical and easier to use.

A powerful tool
July 1, 2025

I'm very satisfied with MyHeritage, except that I'm overwhelmed by SmartMaches and Discoveries. I can't treat them all, unless I devote all my time to genealogy, and I don't want to do that. For the rest, I reckon it's an incredible tool, very powerful.

GEDCOM import from legacy software
June 28, 2025

I had a problem importing to my correct account and identifying myself as the main person. I could not use the relationship tab. I got a call from your representative who walked me through the process. It was a No Caller ID which I don't normally answer. I was super happy with the quick response

As My Family Tree opens I treasure seeing my absent family. Whether they live far away or exist in eternity, my connection to them never fails. I enjoy flashback memories and regularly daydream about future get-togethers.

Make your genealogical journey enjoyable
June 24, 2025

An easy user interface, with many options and tools to make your genealogical journey enjoyable. I've found it an excellent source for UK and European records and the smartmatch feature enables you to compare your information with others, or gather entirely new information. Another great feature is their Theory of Family Relativity which facilitates family connection across several trees, and "Cousin Finder". However it must be kept in mind that these tools require a subscription membership which is ultimately worthwhile if you are serious about your genealogical journey.

Enquiry about finance
June 24, 2025

I had two sets of payments taken from my account for what I thought was for the same purchase. After consulting with My heritage I was advised that otherwise however as was honest about my concern and lack of understanding about the different services which My heritage offered and cost for each I was refunded the second payment. My heritage was able to positively analyse the situation in line with my circumstances and they offered me further consultation with another staff to explore my interest in My heritage and what I needed. I was pleased with the result of the general enquiry.

Fix one thing break another!
June 24, 2025

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.
