A member of your team, solved in two minutes, what I had been trying to do for hours, wish I had phoned them earlier, but I didn't want to look stupid, but she made me feel, that It was quite a common request, which made me feel much better, plus I got what I wanted to achieve.

Thank you Patricia Addie

I have been enjoying my premium subscription to MyHeritage, which gives me a huge amount of information to add to my family tree. There is also the option to send a message to another subscriber (& possible distant relative). Today I had a question about contacting another subscriber whose link I could not find. I had a very friendly and helpful call with AoifeD in customer service. She explained a few things about using the site (still have not found the actual link I need but I'm on the way).

Customer Service
April 16, 2018

I phoned Saturday 14/04/18 and at last got an answer saying second in the Q to speak to a customer service person. After a short wait, the girl who spoke to me (who's name I forgot to write down) was amazing and so helpful and friendly. Gave me answers to all my questions quickly and spoke very good English. I only rated 4 out of 5 as I had over several phone calls had a problems when pressing extentions 1 to 5 that just kept going around and around and back to the beginning of answer phone? System problem or all busy consultants on calls... don't know as never explain if we were calling outside business hours or whatever?

I was able to confirm family oral history, using the names and dates associated with Grandparents. The fun and exciting part were surprising details regarding the military service, states and country's ancestors came from. I enjoyed the journey.

Nicole took a lot of time with me in separating my sisters account from mine and correcting mistakes that all first timers make. If you want to have the full tech support pay the extra money to get the premium plus deal.

Excellent Service
April 13, 2018

Today I had the pleasure of being in contact with Ziv, I believe his name is, a member of your support team. I say a pleasure because he was really helpful in transferring my fathers site to my name, as my father passed away in March last year. He was helpful, pleasant and organized all within a few minutes. Well done! And... Thank you. Steve Grant
