Ein gutes Portal
August 19, 2025

Sehr viele, fast zuviele Informationen. Es wäre gut, wenn man falsche Personen einfach aus dem Stammbaum löschen könnte und den rrichtigen wieder einfügen.

Family
August 19, 2025

My Heritage is an amazing site for ancestry. If I had the extra money every month I would be a full time subscriber but Social Security is limiting. I found out things my mom wasn't even aware of. I really enjoy this site and the way they keep you informed of new info. It is my hopes that I can return to it soon. If you haven't given My Heritage a try you should. It is a better site than their competitors I think.

Grow and knowledge
August 19, 2025

I've had a very positive experience with MyHeritage. The platform is intuitive and offers a wide range of tools to explore family history, build a family tree, and connect with relatives. The DNA service provided me with valuable insights about my ancestry and helped confirm some family stories while also revealing new connections I wasn't aware of. I especially appreciate the record-matching feature, which makes it easy to discover relevant documents and integrate them into my family tree. The photo enhancement and colorization tools are also a nice touch, bringing old family pictures back to life in an emotional way. There is a learning curve at the beginning, but the platform provides good guidance, and the support team is responsive and helpful. Overall, MyHeritage has exceeded my expectations and has become a meaningful tool for both research and family sharing. I would recommend it to anyone who is curious about their roots or wants to preserve family heritage for future generations.

Everything is good so far with the site, however, I would like to merge duplicate individuals rather than find them, go to each one and either delete one or delete the duplicate, and move any family members over to the saved individual. It's very time consuming and is easier with Ancestry.com

Goede helpdesk
August 19, 2025

Ik heb problemen gehad met 2-staps-verificatie na installatie van een nieuwe gsm.
Via de website kreeg ik het niet opgelost.
Dan de helpdesk via mail gecontacteerd.
Zij waren snel met antwoorden en gaven snel een oplossing voor mijn probleem.

I joined in hopes of finding the father of my 6th grand grandfather. I have been able to find several people that have him in their trees but none have anything to prove who is father was. No documentation.
Still searching.

I joined because a few of the children I had created had found me after learning that I was their biological father due to being a sperm donor in college. I chose to have my DNA on record with 3 different company programs so that any of my children would be able to find me in the future. I struggle to keep up with the information you send me, but I have hopes I'll have it all together by the time I'm unable to work on it.

If you're JUST starting out sure….
August 19, 2025

I had already been working on my family tree for a while and then I hit a roadblock. Decided to pay for the platform thinking it would help me breakthrough but it was money that just went out and I'm still at the exact same roadblock. Unless you're a professional or love reading through a million hard to read records. Maybe just pass.
