My Heritage Family Tree
February 13, 2025

Overall, I am impressed with the smart searches to dig up many different sources, mostly relating to my family tree and helping me build an accurate, complete tree. The suggestions are helpful and a reminder to go in and check out these smart finds and incorporate the info or disregard it. I like the system and the fullness it brings to the table. The consistency checker is also a cool tool to keep things straight.

Lack of customer service.
February 13, 2025

I upgraded to the Omni plan, because I was told this plan includes Legacy Family Webinars. When I tried to log in, I needed a password, which I don't have. I wrote to Legacy Family webinars, and was told I was supposed to clink on the link. I don't know what happened…I thought I clicked the button.
Since we can no longer speak to a representative, I tried the "contact us" page. There isn't an option in the drop down box, nor is the option in the chat section…and I did not see an option for a call back. I sent a message through FB messenger…no response.
Unfortunately, I cannot locate the email, so I can't even look at it to see if I clicked on the link.
There are a lot of webinars I would like to see…I already missed 2 that I signed up for.
Do you no longer even have 24/7 service?
I really would like to get this resolved asap, so I can take part in the webinars. I specifically upgraded my plan so I can have this option, and I'm very frustrated and upset!

It's amazing what I've uncovered!
February 13, 2025

I was focusing on my connection with a particular individual in medieval Scotland. Haven't found him yet, but I've gone back to an English direct ancestor born in 1502, and discovered I'm a descendant of the captain of the Mayflower! Also got a DNA surprise: I'm over 28% Scandinavian, probably from Shetland Islands. I was expecting mostly English and Scottish.

Great Connections to Family Stories
February 13, 2025

Great research tools to find more information than I expected to find about my family history and stories to be able to hear about relatives that were way before I was born and their journey that led to me being here on this earth. Also I'm always surprised on how some of them have similar attributes either in jobs and family that many of us currently have in common.
