Ny adgangskode
July 9, 2018

Efter jeg med møje og besvær hade fundet mit kontonummer, til brug for at komme igennem på telefonen, gik det glat igennem med sød og venlig betjening (hjælp). Det burde være muligt at komme igennem på en telefon uden at man først skal ligge inde med med diverse oplysninger som man ikke kan komme til når man ikke kan åbne sin familieside.

Project sync
July 9, 2018

Having had a problem for a couple of week with the synchronisation process, I was delighted when MayaN volunteered to me simple instructions as to how to rectify the process. The problem was therefore solved quickly and easily. Very good work from the support team.

The support team
July 9, 2018

The site is very addictive. Have gotten so much information in just 1 week, all the way back to the late 1600's. The support team always are so friendly and answers question rapidly.

I have been using MyHeritage for my family research for a little over a year, having changed from another very well known platform. In general, I have been happy as the interface is pretty intuitive and I have been able to do most of what I have wanted to. I did recently experience an issue with the family tree builder and with the web-site that I was unable to solve via the usual email support (I had had no success making telephone contact or receiving callbacks). When it became obvious that things were at a stalemate, a live online session was organised with a consultant based in Israel. This resulted in a solution to the problem and the experience was very positive.

I miss the ability to merge duplicates in my tree as I had found that to be a useful feature of my previous platform. Despite this, I have no plans to move back at this stage.

I got really good help when I needed to change registered email address to a new one. The old address doesn't work any more. The customer service agent stayed online until she was sure that I had got access to my account with the new login.

I spent a very productive hour on the phone with Jack and was able to delete some incorrect entries to my family tree. I thank him for his patience

Customer service
July 7, 2018

It was a great experience, with a knowledgeable and competent representative. The information on the web site regarding upgrade to complete wasn't clear to me. I explained what I thought. He agreed. Then, he gave me the discount as I had understood it. I couldn't ask for more.

Thank you!

Ps:
I love the product. It just consumes a lot more of my time than I should allow. I just don't know when to stop.

Super site!
July 7, 2018

Je m'inquiétais que le laboratoire avait reçu l'échantillon de mon mari mais pas le mien envoyé pourtant en même temps. J'ai contacté my heritage qui m'a répondu très rapidement et m'a proposer soit d'attendre au cas où mon échantillon arriverai ou de m'en envoyer un nouveau sans frais de ma part.
Je recommande ce site pour son sérieux, son assistance.

It would be impossible to describe the professionalism and patience of your billing representative, Jack. He listened to me rant about being billed twice for what I felt was for genealogical research. He then, simply mentioned a DNA kit. I was dismayed for not remembering I had ordered the kit from My Heritage! Duh! I even told Jack I was "$#*!ed", I mean retired! He got a kick out of that. Without going into my concern about not being able to research with my Premium membership as I wished, Jack agreed to refund the $66 I had been billed on May 26, 2018. He is a true ambassador, representing My Heritage. It was my "lucky" day to have Jack assist me. A grateful customer, Thomas H. Bland

I would appreciate online help explaining the process of reviewing and confirming. For instance when you confirm and import to tree, where does it show?

The young lady solved my problem and was a delight to talk with. Enjoyed her Irish accent. Especially since I have Irish ancestors.
