Extremely helpful
February 13, 2025

I had no experience building a family tree. I found MyHeritage very helpful and responsive if I ran into problems, but that didn't even happen often. Excellent site to preserve family history for future generations.

Very Useful
February 13, 2025

I like using MyHeritage. There is much useful information about my ancestors to be found here. Often this information is not found on other websites. I also like the connection with Geni.

A couple of things that could be improved.
- I am not sure if it is possible toe easily merge duplicate profiles. Is is certainly not intuitive.
- DNA matches shared are only low centigram matches, very distant possible cousins. I have not found them useful for the most part.

A system that works well and is easy to,use.
February 13, 2025

It can take a while to get used to all the intricacies of the site, but once that hurdle is dealt with you will find a wealth of information out there. The entries are stored in a fashion that is easy to follow, and allows for updates as further information becomes available. The record matches are the more reliable information.the smart matches can be helpful, but are not necessarily accurate as it is someone else's research and may not be as rigorous as your own. Be careful to check their dates. You can end up having an ancestor who dies before they are born.
All,round I have been extremely happy with other the programme and the backup from the company.

Exceptional product and service
February 13, 2025
Updated review

I have used different genealogy services but in my experience, MyHeritage is the best. Their records are extensive, their automatic match finders are very helpful, their autosomal DNA features are the best available, and the company is exceptionally innovative, regularly coming out with new features. Other companies have their good points but if I could only choose one provider, it would definately be Myheritage.

Excellent in all directions
February 13, 2025

A good source if you want to see your connections with all your relatives in all directions. If you are focused, for example, on only earlier Scottish connections, you may get overwhelmed with information coming mostly from the U.S. But you can learn how to weed this out.

Refund without any trouble at all
February 13, 2025

My wife accidentally pressed the wrong button and was charged for something she didn't want. We met a very forthcoming woman on the support phone who fully understood the situation and resolved the matter in a short time. To day we received the total amount and we are very happy with the help we got.
