Muy interesante conocer mis orígenes y ver como se fueron trasladando
Primero agradecer por la pagina. Es una hermosa labor que edifica como habito o en lo emocional, además de las oportunidades familiares que brindan.
Mi insatisfacción está en las informaciones que me llegan. Cuando quiero desactivar la búsqueda sale un listado, en mi caso muy largo donde tengo que buscar el apellido. No veo un motor de búsqueda. Por otro lado, las coincidencias, que en muchos casos son datos de mi propio arbol aceptados por otros que vuelven como descubrimiento. Seguramente hay alguna solucion en la pagina y no lo sepa. El punto es que me lleva tiempo y tardo en unir las coincidencias. Muchas gracias
The tram member was very thorough in explaining the various subscription plans and spent a lot of time. I was not aware of a 2 year subscription and took advantage of it. Thank you!
I received a phone call suggesting I upgrade my membership. The man had knowledge of the way I use the service and was very helpful
I auto got renewed and thought about stopping my subscription. But sh gave a great deal!
Sono molto soddisfatta perché mi ha aiutato a trovare tantissimi parenti e antenati. Il test del DNA è davvero molto interessante.
There is so much information available but sometimes I find it hard to find my way through or correct mistakes made in compiling my tree!
It is not as easy as I would like to actually contact an advisor
Ras it' s perfect to me j like it and j said thank you to your experience.
Paid subs. No records. Can't contact. My fault? Help needed.
Handige software om jouw stamboom vanaf ongeveer 1750 in kaart te brengen, al word je dagelijks overladen met irritante overbodige commerciële voorstellen.
I'm learning more about myself through the attention to detail, telling more about my ancestors than I ever heard, previously.
Un super site pour trouver nos ancêtres cool.je n' arrête pas d en trouver. C est genial
Having been a member of My Heritage for many years I wished to negotiate my pay plan. Yaniv was extremely helpful and offered me alternatives. Having agreed on one he went the extra mile and offered me his on going support in the future. Thank you for your assistance.
Ottima esperienza. Peccato che non ci sia la possibilità di vedere dei documenti sulla famiglia
My DNA test was faulty so I contacted customer service and they were brilliant.
Very kind and helpful.
Un peu cher mais le site est très complet
Je le trouve convivial comparé à d'autres
Un gros regret cependant: il n'identifie pas les doublons et n'offre pas de solution pratique pour les éliminer
It's been a great journey, but pricy as the new features are not relative to me, and they probably are part of the price.
Answer: My issue was the automatic renewal without any kind of courtesy reminder prior to the effective date, as other businesses do. Advising one year in advance is a poor business practice. When I contacted them immediately on the renewal effective date, they refused to cancel and offered me a 25% discount. They eventually gave me the full refund but it was due to me turning it over to AMEX to resolve. I do however agree with the advice to base your renewal on your own personal experience.
Answer: You can find your site subscriptions via MyHeritage homepage - pull-down menu on the right upper corner button "Settings". Then click on "My purchases", and button "Site subscriptions". Click "View details". The details contain section "Cancel subscription". Maybe you can get advice by mail from MyHeritage support team ([email protected]).
Answer: If you are looking to get as many connections to your tree that you can, use My Heritage. If you want flexibility in who is added to your tree, use Ancestry.
Answer: Dear Jonathan, Yes I have the same problem, I wrote to My Heritage and they have still not responded to my request for assistance. They are highly Sloppy and unprofessional in responding to customer request for assistance. Even though they have and excellent Technical Team. Fortunately I have another Computer with Windows 8 as a result of which I am able to continue working with my Website. But recently a few problems have cropped up with the recent upgrade of the My Heritage Program and have sent in a request for assistance and till today 3-5 months later I have no response. Apparently the company believes that they can play games with the customers. I firmly believe that they have somehow gone into self destructive mode.

Answer: Hi After posting my complaint about MyHeritage on here I got a very quick response from some one called Dave at the company. He told me to send an email to [email protected] and add the subject Dave: sitejabber. He responded a couple of days later - I emailed on a Saturday - and the auto repeat on my subscription was cancelled and my money refunded within days. Hope this helps.
