Site très pratique
June 24, 2025

C'est très pratique pour les recherches généalogiques. Mais l'abonnement reste un peu cher pour des gens qui, comme moi, n'utilisent ce site que de façon sporadique.

An unknown terrority
June 24, 2025

My knowledge of DNA has been limited to reading about the foresic work I have read about or heard in the news. My father was educated in the UK in the 1920-30s and had spent a large part of his young life here and I knew he fell in love with an English woman but was not allowed to marry, firstly I wanted to know if I had any siblings, and secondly as my children who are born in England I wanted them to know our lineage and to my grand children, But you always worry as to what you will find! And how to go about it.
MY Heritage I found are approachable and efficient. Te whole process was simple and you actually get response from humans not robots!

Missing Ancestral Links
June 24, 2025

I was initially impressed with the new ancient origins feature and am still now even more certain of my origin by using this. In fact what I previously knew from before has now been practically confirmed to me so I am very happy about this. However, upon further investigation and navigating the same way as a few years ago whilst using the site, I discovered another feature which is crucial proof to my connection to a certain group of people is no longer available. It was the subtribe group and had very important information showing their religious tribes and already displayed how them and I are connected. I feel cheated now. This is all because of a written law wrote by men, not by the God of my people. The tribes and identity or rather the blood connection would pass through the father originally, not the mother. If you can get this feature back up then you will receive a 10 out of 10 from me and probably many others who think the same. I need you to restore this feature.

Site not working properly
June 24, 2025

When I open review it starts to download with the correct title and then when it opens the site is blank!
I have reported this several times. It only happens on 'My Heritage" site and nothing else.
This does not happen every time but about 25% of my reviews are like this?

Découvrir son passé
June 24, 2025

Je n'avais aucune idée de mes arriere-grands parents maternels avant de commencer mon arbre sur MyHeritage. Maintenant je connais leurs noms et celui de nos ancêtres parfois sur 10 générations. C'est affolant et passionnant.

Family expanding
June 24, 2025

Very good additions to my Family Tree intersting branches which I did not know about. Some difficult to verify but never the less interesting. Would be more so when Ifind a way to verify connections in Austrailia and Canada. An austrailian link has proved successful and opened up some interesting branches

My experiences using the program
June 24, 2025

Basically, I think it's a good program - but for searching for data, I think Famylisearch is better. The best thing about this program is that no one else can access the family tree you've created. It works very well to show matches with other researchers, so it's much easier to decide whether you're on the right track with your research or not. I like that the program puts the matches together smoothly despite the names entered in different languages. However, for example, when entering data, it would be much easier to enter the date continuously, not this year-month-day system. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the program.
