Reunion with our roots
July 2, 2025

The results obtained through DNA testing have been surprisingly accurate; we have been able to confirm the information we had from the accounts of older family members.

Not always clear
July 2, 2025

I have enjoyed working with MyHeritage even though sometimes it becomes a bit confusing. I have discovered new family members that did not know of their existence.

Grace à MyHeritage et à ses diverses possibilités pour approfondir les recherches, j'ai réussi à comprendre et à découvrir mes origines, faire le lien avec des personnes qui m'entourent sans qu'elles sachent qu'il existe des relations communes entre nous. Remonter dans le temps permet d'analyser le pourquoi et le comment on en est là et se placer dans la société par rapport au vécu de nos ancêtres. Pour moi, cela m'a permis de comprendre pourquoi certaines situations ne m'ont jamais été expliquées par ma famille et même totalement occultées. Et ce n'est pas fini...

Muy recomendable
July 2, 2025

De todos los soft para genealogía que he visto, este es el mas intuitivo, facil y visualmente atractivo de todos.
Sumado a los descubriemientos automaticos dentro de otros arboles de MyHeritage u otros asociados, hace de este soft el mejor.

I have found My Heritage to be a great help in building my family tree and adding information and data on a daily basis. There is so much data available and I have traced many family and friends still living.

I have had a fun and fulfilling time creating my MH Family Tree. There is so much information there, and I have only scratched the surface of what is available. I find the cross referencing to other MH trees and information extremely helpful. I also like that MH references other geneology sites so that you can compare and verify information.

This service is good and versatile. Been using it on a weekly basis for about 10 years. The community and ability to share tree information with others is excellent, the DNA sample and its many forms of utilization are great and for me, managing the family tree of 30.000 persons with the Builder Application has been vital. Strongly recommend if you use Windows. For me, moving on to Linux, it's a pain to find a similar solution that works in that.

So disappointed
July 2, 2025

I was centralizing all my research with MyHeritage. It had everything. Tree, records, and DNA. Then you halted the ability to upload DNA from other sources. I get you want to make money but you should just charge for uploads. Those of us with relatives who passed can now no longer centralize anywhere. So now I will do that at gedmatch and I am indifferent to MyHeritage vs anywhere else. It was your DNA tools that mattered.

DNA
July 2, 2025

None of the people listed as being related to my husband on his DNA test could find a connection to his family, and that is disappointing.

Message received
July 2, 2025

I was so pleased that after I had left a message to be contacted, I received a phone call the following day from a young man that was very helpful. He walked me through the My Hertiage plans and with his help I was able to decide what plan would be good for me.
I also rec'd a discount as well. Thank you

Excellent!
July 2, 2025

I appreciate MyHeritage as it is very user-friendly. I can easily keep track of the DNA tests of my family members that I manage, and I can investigate our **segments** which tells me a lot about our family history. When I have had questions, I have found the MyHeritage team to respond in a timely and friendly manner. Thanks MyHeritage!

Very interesting indeed. Especially finding relatives, from several generations in the past and in locations I wasn't aware of. Some of their occupations also very exciting.

Quality site
July 2, 2025

I find that My Heritage is a top site for family research. I have received many emails from My Heritage that correspond to my research. As a person there told me, the more research I do, the more suggestions I will receive. The suggestions are often right on point and have helped me find family members I was unaware of. I have, from time to time, spoken to staff at My Heritage, and I can say that they are not only helpful, but polite and friendly. Unfortunately, I did not renew my subscription this year; certainly not because I didn't want to. I made a choice based on the financial resources I have. If you are considering joining, I highly recommend it.
