I have enjoyed learning about our family history and My Heritage has been so helpful in directing me to sources that I couldn't have found on my own. This site also continues to come up with new improvements to utilize in research.

Un chemin de découvertes
July 5, 2025

Chaque branche de ma famille a une histoire particulière que je découvre petit à petit. Avec joie et curiosité, j'en apprend un plus sur leur chemin de vie à travers les siècles que je remonte à ma grande surprise. La généalogie m'a fait évolué magnifiquement tout au long de ces années et ce n'est pas terminé. Alors Merci My Hertage pour ce surprenant outil de trouvailles chaque jour un peu plus.

Despite being an extremely expensive service which has been around for a very long time, no significant improvements or new functions have been introduced. Also, there is too much poor quality data and matches

Powerful Genealogy Tool
July 4, 2025

I enjoy the vast research opportunities with MyHeritage. However, some research features cost extra which I would like to be part of the standard premium package. I would also like to see more focus on quality especially if it comes to matches with other family trees.

Sehr umfassend, fand Familien Angehörige in Geburtsregister de Kirche (Kirchenbücher), Heirat, Sterbetabelle 1531 usw.
Vor 10 Jahren fand ich kaum etwas.
Mit my Heritage fand ich innert 60 Tagen sehr viele Verwandte, DNS war ein booster!

Find A Family
July 4, 2025

When I started my search for a family in December 2015. I never had one. For all the years in NYS to get your original birth certificate, you had to go to court. That all changed around 2017. My parents lived in Norway and worked on a cargo freighter traveling the world and that's how I came to be. MyHeritage went to work and found out who my birth parents are. They came up with way more than they had expected. I now have birth parents, uncles, and aunts. I also know that I have over eight generations of family dating back to the 1500s with name, Born/death, etc., etc., etc... I call that more than a 5-Star experience. That was the best present I could ever have wished for,

Very Disappointed
July 4, 2025

After paying for the service, I was unable to navigate the platform. I had a call from customer we service who tried to describe how I could do this, I was left none the wiser. To date I have still not received the heritage I for action I originally applied for. For me, it was a total waste of money.

MyHeritage is helpful
July 4, 2025

I have learned a lot about my family ancestry, but very little about my deceased spouse. Sometimes I need some person to coach me on how to navigate this. Is there a way to do this?

I have used most of the main Geneology sites and continue to find My Heritage the best. It is user friendly and provides many extras, such as Photo improvements and Smart matches. I receive new information frequently via email so that I am always up to date in my research
