Firstly it is really difficult to find an email address to report an issue to. The chat is hopeless. Once I had managed to send an email, the response was in good time and resolved my issue.

There is the good one: new matches you find
There is a less beautiful one: people take information from your tree. There after the software sends you smart matches with the same information. If you do not want to autorise all those matches you receive an enourmous backlog

A wonderful tool
November 24, 2024

It has been a pleasure to discover my ancestors, and all the links and connections attached to them My Heritage is easy to use and very thorough. My only complaint is the yearly renewal cost that is fast approaching me. I'm not sure I can afford it at this time and not renewing my membership will make me sad, but I don't think I can avoid it. Thanks, My Heritage for all the insight, help, and information.

A great program to find your roots!

I've had great success in finding my family history and loved it. I had no idea for example I've learned that William Brewster from the Mayflower is my 10th great Grand father!

I have learned an extraordinary amount about my historical family members.
I have been enabled to share vast new family information with Children and Grandchildren.
Amazingly I have, with the support from My Heritage, thus far traced ancestors to the 1500's!

I like the way things come up automatically. But then I have found i don't know how to change things when they are wrong and there is no way of contacting you to ask. For instance my G G Grandfather is coming up as a step father to my G grandfather because I had first just typed him in as Charles Budd so your system called him G G grandfather and Charles Lane Budd as step father to my Great grandfather when he is his father and then another Charles Budd who was is son also mixing up with him and I have not been able to work out how I change that's why there is so many discrepancies in my tree. Please could you advice. Another thing there is no email or telephone number of how to get I touch to ask these questions.

Why can't my heritage cover relatives in other countries without additional charges. What positive information can be communicated to me from DNA if my heritage level denies OCONUS relatives.

My Heritage website
November 22, 2024

I find the Heritage website sometimes difficult to find relatives it seems to me it is only good if a relative is also a member, your search engine for some of my relatives is not good
