Innovative Genealogy Site
July 1, 2025

I have used MyHeritage for almost 20 years and have been very impressed with their constant introduction of innovative features to their program. In particular, they have been exceptional in the new photo enhancement features they have introcuced.

Very mixed experience
July 1, 2025

Normally the website and FamilyTreeBuilder work great, apart from annoying minor bugs such as automatic, uncontrolled format changes in marriage data from "Exact" to "Free text". The smart matches, DNA matches and photo editing functions are great. However, the support is inadequate: precise information, e.g. on translation errors; non-functioning picture uploads in profiles or suggestions for improvements that make sense from the user's point of view are answered in a friendly manner, but remain without any response for months. This is very annoying as it gives the impression that such user feedback is not welcome. I am convinced that MyHeritage can do better!

Older technology unwieldy
July 1, 2025

The software seems aged and inflexible, the few new features seem to have been added rather than integrated. Lacks flexibility

Learning
July 1, 2025

Thanks to Heritage I am learning who I am as I was in social services until 10 with only Mark known as my name. Adopted at ten to Kizee but adoption revealed my real name. Mark Christian Rothschild which I didn't like the name. Started learning, very inquisitive as a child's slowly learned to like it. Rothschild who I am Heritage has shown me relatives I'm connected to. Thank You Mt Heritage. Made me proud to be a dutinguished Rothschild, proud of it!

Reliable and broad
July 1, 2025

Is the only site which allows me to create a family tree with even eleven generations of ancestors (up to half of 17th century).
It also provides frequent discoveries which quite often are useful to my researches on my family.

Important Trees
July 1, 2025

I have been able to share, with my stepsister, the history of my family after being adopted 77 years ago and not knowing anything about the history for my entire life. As I did research, I have come up with a pretty extensive family tree with the help of My Heritage & my own research.

Love MyHeritage!
July 1, 2025

Always easy to navigate, loads of information! Wish I could always afford it. Add a monthly payment plan and maybe I could get more. Most recent me purchase was a belated birthday gift from my son to me since I couldn't get it myself. Thank you.
