Amazing
August 19, 2025

I have had a subscription with My Heritage for a few years now. I have found it very easy to use and I have built a very detailed tree with all the information that I have found. I recommend My Heritage to as many of my friends as I can.

Tough Problem to solve

Everyone tried hard to identify the issues and with many communications they finally did. Your systems are not the easiest to navigate is some cases.

Tread carefully
August 19, 2025

Very positive experience- have learned a lot. You do have to be careful; I have been led along one or two lines - which turned out not to be my family, although with uncanny similarities.

Finally getting in to it.
August 19, 2025

I just recently moved my family tree from one site to MyHeritage. I'm setting MyHeritage up as my main site for storing all of my family tree information. I loved how the consistency checker found errors when I transferred my tree over. I'm still learning how to move around and find information during searches, but it usually is an "Oh that makes sense" when I figure it out. Looking forward to adding to my family tree, with my extended membership to 2028.

GREAT JOB!
August 19, 2025

I am new to your program but I'm finding that you have provide very helpful information, most of which I was not previously aware of. And you provide this information with a frequency that I'm able to keep up without causing me frustration. I wish I had more time to devote to exploring all that you've provided.

Finding out my Father's Heritage
August 19, 2025

Had no idea who my great grand parents were. Found out that my friend who I have know for at least thirty years was my third cousin. Her great grandfather and my great grandmother were brother and sister. I have had so much fun finding my roots. Also found out from my DNA test that I am 86 Irish Thanks Heritage

Bästa släktforskning
August 19, 2025

Bästa släktforskningsprogramet för oss som släklforskar i Sverige om framför allt våra svenska anor. Hade aldrig kommit så långt i min släktforskning utan MH. Men ordinarie pris är lite för dyrt för mig som pensionär. MVH Lennarth Eriksson

MyHeritage is amazing!
August 19, 2025

The setup of this organisation is a hundred years better than a few years ago, the spread of information is enormous but getting to your tree has been been easier and much of it is done for you.

Not enough data
August 19, 2025

I think the sources are limited. Unless you take a DNA test and build a family tree there is limited registry data available and you are only matched to non-professional trees.
I think it would be better to have more information since sweden has such a vast registry available. Especially for the price.

Surprisingly easy to use.
August 19, 2025

Researching and cross-referencing information on the MyHeritage.com website is almost too easy. The amount of information is more than I expected, especially considering the frequency of matches from other family heritage trees. There is always more information available to refine what you may have so far.

I kept having problems logging in, access was blocked for 24 hours. This happened a few times. I had contact either the support and told them what I had tried but they kept telling me what I should do. Exactly what I had done in vain and what I had told them.

More than happy.
August 19, 2025

I have had a very satisfying experience using My Heritage.
Plenty of interaction with emails and online info.
Obviously, I would participate more fully if the cost of the full version was hugely cheaper, especially in New Zealand where it seems like inflated prices compared to the USA.
