Me gusta mucho My Heritage porque me permitió elaborar mi árbol y conocer datos de mis ancestros. He podido ver partidas de nacimiento y bautizo con datos que me ayudan a entender los cambios en las diferentes épocas. También me condujo a investigar en mi caso particular las abreviaturas del español antiguo para entender las partidas de Nacimiento, bautizos y matrimonios. Me parece genial que hayan tenido acceso a registros muy antiguos que estaban en las iglesias y que se han digitalizado.

Accès plus accessible.
August 19, 2025

Accès difficile car aucun numéro pour communiquer avec eux lorsque nous avons des questions.
Cependant après un essai par courriel ils ont communiqué avec moi et le service fut super bon avec beaucoup de disponibilité. Merci! Peut-être rendre cette information plus accessible…

Es ist nicht alles schlüssig
August 19, 2025

Es gibt einen sehr schlechten Algorythmus. Zu viele Smart Match Anfragen obwohl weder Name noch Ort noch Jahr übereinstimmen.
Es werden gleiche Personen zu denen zwei Verhältnisse bestehen nicht zusammengefasst. Zb Geburtstag von ihrem Cousin 2 Grades und gleichzeitig Geburtstag vom Schwager ihrer Ex Frau.
Angenommene Übereinstimmung falsch in den Stammbaum eingebunden mit schier unmöglichen Schritten dies zu löschen oder korrigieren.

I did a lot of research about my family while stationed in Germany and backed it up in Salt Lake City, UT. My Heritage has provided so much more information! I have gone back 97 generations on my Father's Family alone. I have researched both my parents' family trees at least 25 generations.

MyHeritage is een bijzonder goed toegankelijk programma om je stamboom te maken en te onderhouden. Naast het gebruiksgemak worden er ook suggesties gedaan en links gelegd met andere stambomen en stambomen buiten de applicatie; zeer efficiënt dus. Zeer aan te bevelen als je serieus met genealogie aan de slag wil gaan!

Duplication

I don't like once you click on a record and confirm it, it still shows up as something that is not done. Very annoying.

Unsure how to Proceed

Have a huge amount of inconsistencies. No way or time to research everything. Need help. But have had no advice except to revisit everything. Which is not possible.

I am fascinated
August 19, 2025

Oh, hard to describe. A great experience and a lot of fun to have searched for my relatives in MyHeritage. I have found so many facts and other interesting things. And the DNA test has given me almost 120,000 matches all over the world, I didn't think that was possible. I live in Sweden but have found relatives in South America and South Africa and many other countries all over the world. Thank you for your enormous work with this genealogy program.

When I first became a subscriber of MyHeritage, my family site would be backed up at the end of each month. This is not happening anymore. I wanted to know why. The reason, as I found out later, is that this service, which was originally part of the COMPLETE PLAN, is not provided as free anymore! Now, you have to pay for it, EVEN if you have bought the COMPLETE PLAN (as I have! Now, this is a very simple answer to the very simple and clear question that I had asked. ONE EMAIL from you WOULD SUFFICE to tell me this. Instead, I got mired up in numerous email exchanges with your "Support" people who WOULD NOT TELL me this simple answer in simple English! They kept beating around the bush, trying to hide the simple truth. Such a "customer support" philosophy is cheapo, it's outdated, and it is INFURIATING. Shame on you.

The help I needed.
August 19, 2025

My annual renewal was due but I could not afford to pay the fee so sadly I had to cancel. I then had a call from a very nice young man Eliad. He helped me break down my needs and expenses to a level I could manage. I'm very grateful as i didn't want to leave My Heritage.
