Only one disappointment
July 1, 2025

Wonderful in all ways but one. Despite many requests, you STILL insist on calling my ( indisputable) biological Father, my Stepfather. I cannot help but feel it's hurtful, to the memory of a wonderful man.! Otherwise, I find the Site very informative. Thanks.

Finding my family
July 1, 2025

I was adopted as a baby so it has been very rewarding finding my biological family. Sometimes it has been a little difficult for me to locate family as in p christian name ast years they have given each generation the same christian name. Overall I have found it quite rewarding.

Great ancestry research site

I have greatly enjoyed the site My Heritage and been researching my ancestors far back in time, longer than I could ever have dreamed of had it not been for this site. I am really happy the site exist and I have a much use for it and it has been invaluable in my work.

New Algorithm
July 1, 2025

The new DNA algorithm has completely reconfigured my DNA results, eliminating large percentages of ethnicities. This is quite upsetting.

I started with MyHeritage in 2012 in order to learn more about my American Family, immigrated from Belgium, and discover why my father was born in Pennsylvania but was raised in Belgium.
I especially wanted to discover where my grandfather grave is located. I did all that and after 13 years there are over 5000 people in my tree and adding more as my research progresses. MyHeritage has all the tools I need to do that.

A Portal to the Past
July 1, 2025

My Heritage has given me the pathways to connect with my past. I did not have the wisdom or maturity to query my parents while they were still alive. Through the data bank of My Heritage, I have been able to link prior generations. It has been an invaluable resource.

MyHeritage is a superior product to Ancestry because it has Auto cluster, triangulation and chromosome browsers which make all the difference in researching Family Trees. It has better reach, clearer screens and easier to understand processes. MyHeritage is more innovative, user-friendly and cheaper than Ancestry. MyHeritage offers 3 DNA tests with free shopping P&P for $127 whereas Ancestry wanted $407 for their 3 tests to be delivered here. MyHeritage was half the price for annual subscriptions and didnt require an extra $17 per month or $100+ for Pro Tools. For these reasons I recommend MyHeritage over Ancestry at this time. The cost for Ancestry for World Access was $445 Plus $100 for ProTools and the test were 3 times more expensive. Though because each hold 40% of DNA test takers you need to test with Ancestry then upload to MyHeritage and unlock the matches for $29NZ as a once only unlock. After 25 years MyHeritage is eating Ancestry's lunch IMHO

It was better
July 1, 2025

Now that one can no longer upload DNA files from other sites to MyHeritage, its will probably not be worth while renewing. My main use has always been the DNA element - the way trees are organised is clumsy and hard to use, to the point of being annoying, and the search facility has rarely provided anything that wasn't already available fom elsewhere

My husband tried to access our My Heritage account from his computer to review his DNA matches and you denied access to our account for 24 hours. Not impressed.
