Simple question unanswered
September 20, 2024

All I wanted to know is how to change the email address to which the news letters are sent NOT change my accounts overall address... somehow in the past my registered email address became unlinked to the email to which my MyHeritage news letters were sent to and I just wanted to make sure they continued going to my new email address as I'm changing my IP soon and that email address will no longer exist. PS if as below my last name is private why can it not REALY be private why do I have to enter it?

En estos años que llevo en esta tarea, MyHeritage siempre me ha servido de apoyo para seguir con la búsqueda que me he planteado. Creo que sin MyHeritage no habría podido llegar hasta donde he llegado.

A Brilliant Creation.
September 12, 2024

I was delighted with the structure of the family tree and its various branches. The production of the
Family Tree Book, showing all the facts and photographs, together with the charts and individual life stories were excellent.

Helps progressing with family history
September 6, 2024

Nice tool to help you progress and keep your findings safe since your tree is private and people cannot mess up your good work. I feel there are less South American records but still helps.

Outil très facilitant
September 6, 2024

Très intuitif dans l'utilisation et beaucoup de fonctionnalités intéressantes.
Les recherches sont basées sur les indexations privées ou publiques avec des accès à beaucoup de supports quand on est en mode "premium".
Je recommande fortement.

Sebastiaan hjalp mig. Jeg havde næsten opgivet, at se mit træ igen. Jeg havde virkelig brug for en, som ikke opgav mig.
Tak endnu en gang Sebastiaan.

Over het algemeen ben ik tevreden met MyHeritage. Het is een fijn programma en ik vind het een leuke bezigheid om mijn stamboom uit te breiden. Echter, ondanks dat ik een compleet abonnement heb, vind ik het jammer dat het samenvoegen van gegevens van personen uit andere websites niet zo eenvoudig gaat als ik had gehoopt. In deze digitale tijd zou het mogelijk moeten zijn om informatie vanuit MyHeritage makkelijker en automatisch aangeboden te krijgen. Dat zou de gebruikservaring zeker verbeteren.
