Damit sich keine Fehler einschleichen ist immer ein kritisches Hinterfragen angesagt.
Olen löytänyt ennestään tuntemattomia sukulaisiani. Sekä on selvinnyt että tuntemistani ihmisistä moni on minulle sukua.
MyHeritage find ich gut aber es ist auch schwirig alle Matches abzuaRBEITEN DA FÜR EINIGE ERLEDIGTE GLEICH VIEL ZU VIEL NEUE ANSTEHEN:

MyHeritage is easily to use.
Very large database
Different ways to present the family tree
I am on both Ancestary and My Heritage, though find My Heritage easier to Navigate. Support has always been available with any issues.
Easy to collect data from the past from many sources creating a fenominal picture of your ancestors.
Since joining MyHeritage and submitting a DNA test in 2021, I have been very impressed by the data they supply me. It has led to gaining valuable insight into my mother's as well as my father's heritage. Some of the modern ones have come forward to give me additional information about certain ones within theirs, which has filled in the gaps where they appear in mine. Highly recommended.
As much as I learned about my family tree, I was frustrated when your program put a woman on the tree who was not a relative... and then created a branch that was endless in incorrect infor6. I tried to remove the person to no avail. That is extremely frustrating.
My issue was swiftly addressed and resolved. I ess treated with respect and consideration.
MyHeritage es una plataforma abarcadora y de suma importancia porque contribuye en el conocimiento desde el interés más individual o personal hasta lo más amplio y colectivo del conocimiento, gracias a las investigaciones que facilita, con sus herramientas, muchos hemos podido enriquecer el conocimiento histórico familiar y estimular el interés por la genealogía.
Useless info and no adequate communication by text or email. Results of DNA TOO FAR REMOVED TO BE OF ANY USE.
Easy to work with and understand clearly typed and explains relationship with people on smart or record matches so you know exactly how you are related
I got right back to the 14th century!
I always heard about being related to sis lady's dukes and earls now I have historical proof right up to modern times where mansion houses are still standing..
I find it very easy to navigate and to build my family tree. Verifying records is good and DNA can be used to ultimately confirm your findings.
MyHeritage (and Geni) provide serious tools for serious genealogists, avoiding unsupported speculation.
Very good experience, more than expected. All the facts made me happy.
Interesting tool, useful for family tree building. The initial build is easy for known family members, especially if you have specific data, such as dates of birth and places of birth. Once you try to go further back it is much more challenging. Quite hard for common names to get accurate data. Their auto checks are so extensive it is time consuming and hard to work through.
My Heritage maakt het mogelijk om stamboomgegevens te zoeken en ordentelijk te presenteren. Middels mailtjes werkt My Heritage eraan mee om de gegevens te verbeteren en uit te breiden. Het werkt prima, maar heeft wel z'n prijs.
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 ([email protected]).
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 [email protected] 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.
