I have other ancestry trees and no one can find anything past my grandmother. My sister and I want to know. Was my grandmother made out of sawdust or someone like Frankenstien?

I have been using MyHeritage for many years now, I would not use anyone else, The cost for DNA is brilliant compared to other sites, I would highly recommend MyHeritage to anyone who is serious about tracing their Family History, Good Hunting!

Pricey renewal fees...
July 1, 2025

The overall site and functionality is great but the annual renewal fee is too high.
It would make sense that if you paid 5 consecutive years, that you would become a lifetime member, or something similar. The high annual fee, yearly forever, is most annoying...

Decepción

Quería descargar los resultados de mí kit para subirlos a otra plataforma y quitaron esa opción sin previo aviso. De haberlo sabido hubiera comprado a otra empresa el kit.

So exciting
July 1, 2025

I was always wanting to learn my DNA but I was a little bit indecisive. When I did that I was so excited and finally I have been happy. Even I learned that where is my last name comes from.

MyHeritage is a remarkably good resource for the integration by the user of both an extraordinarily broad variety of formal genealogy sources but also of a vast number of its personal users' own family trees and associated histories.

Technical Support
July 1, 2025

Your technical support by a conversation with your human expert is not availabke. Issues that do not appear in your written support are not resolved. Answwrs by emails take days and are sometimes not helpful. I am very disappointed

I was very surprised how fast the AI of MH was able to find and organize the persons, families, clans and regions they originated, in an always growing family tree. In our case from 2025 back to the 13 century within 5 month. Really surprising. The familytree is still growing
It took more than 2 Years - and some money - to find my nearest anchestors in in the archives of Poland / Torun for me. Beeing a member you get almost every day new results from MyHeritage. An overwhelming and exiting experience and so interesting. By the way, MyHeritage supports You, to fresh up your knowledge in history. Always interesting, sometimes unbelievable and you can feel the spirit of your and related families. A great adventure in your mind. It s great to travel and meet this persons face to face, if you like. MyHeritage is supporting your curiosity.

A Very Informative Website
July 1, 2025

I have mostly been very satisfied with the website and all that it offers. My only concern is that my tree which contains over 73,000 people can not be posted without gaining permission. This is not understandable.

Survey request
July 1, 2025

I do enjoy connecting members of my family to our tree. The extras are expensive so I'm on the basic level. My family tree has answered many family questions. Look forward to e-mails. When you update info it's on a long list of needs to correct, that's confusing. Thank you. 😊
