Since a lot of years I am very happy with MyHeritage. But there come to many dates of relatives far away of the straight line.
Je suis satisfait de My Héritage j'ai put apprendre plus sur mes ancêtres et pris contact avec de la famille éloigné que je ne connaissais pas pour échanger nos informations ainsi que des photos de familles. Redonner vie à des photos de personne disparue les coloniser ainsi que les améliorations et une joie immense. Je recommande My Héritage
Quick resolution of my support requests.
Very long analysis time of transferred DNA files.
Simple d utilisation, très intuitif. Très complet, incroyable de retrouver des membres de sa famille
Very easy and very helpful, the best of all similar companies. The only negative is that premium account is much expensive than the account I can pay.
Es kann doch wohl nicht wahr sein dass MyHeritage nach fast 2 Monaten Wartezeit auf das mitgeteilte Sync-Problem unter MacOS Sequoia entgegen dem Versprechen des Servicedesk lapidar mitteilt, dass man den FTB auf Mac nicht mehr unterstützt und die App nicht mehr zum Download auf Mac-Geräten verfügbar ist! Bin daher gezwungen, so schnell wie möglich zu kündigen und ein anderes Genealogiesystem und -programm zu nutzen. Sehr enttäuschend und überhaupt nicht kundenorientiert!
Un sito ricco di notizie per la ricostruzione del nostro passato. Conoscerlo ci aiuta nel presente. Una sola piccola pecca, a volte le foto inserite su un soggetto vengono scambiate e trasferite in altri. Bisognerebbe curare o rivedere questo aspetto. Per il resto sono molto soddisfatto delle scoperte e dall'attenzione che il sito ha nei confronti dei propri utenti.
It is not possible to merge duplicates that were likely created by adding people in bulk.
Sicuramente è un sito che mi ha dato tantissime notizie preziose, vorrei fosse più semplice accedere agli alberi degli altri utenti e poter scegliere in modo più preciso le corrispondenze che vorrei accettare.
Grazie del vostro servizio
The user friendly data base on the My Heritage web site is a big help when it comes to genealogical research.
Interesting to learn more about family. I really enjoy looking up connections.We learn a lot from our forebears
I use three genealogy services and have been our family genealogist for over 35 years. My Heritage is my primary source of discovery and recording. The depth of their search engines is staggering and the ability to upload information is so easy! My Heritage is the BEST!
The enhancing tool stopped working for me, and support had it up and running properly within a few hours! It was much quicker than expected, and I couldn't be happier!
Recomiendo esta plataforma es muy buena. He obtenido muchos nombres para mí árbol genealógico.
"I uncovered my roots, found my family, and now I'm writing my own chapter. My journey with My Heritage: connection, surprises, and a legacy in constant evolution.
útil para ir descubriendo el árbol genealógico. E incluso ponerse en contacto con otros administradores de árboles.
Answer: My issue was the automatic renewal without any kind of courtesy reminder prior to the effective date, as other businesses do. Advising one year in advance is a poor business practice. When I contacted them immediately on the renewal effective date, they refused to cancel and offered me a 25% discount. They eventually gave me the full refund but it was due to me turning it over to AMEX to resolve. I do however agree with the advice to base your renewal on your own personal experience.
Answer: You can find your site subscriptions via MyHeritage homepage - pull-down menu on the right upper corner button "Settings". Then click on "My purchases", and button "Site subscriptions". Click "View details". The details contain section "Cancel subscription". Maybe you can get advice by mail from MyHeritage support team ([email protected]).
Answer: If you are looking to get as many connections to your tree that you can, use My Heritage. If you want flexibility in who is added to your tree, use Ancestry.
Answer: Dear Jonathan, Yes I have the same problem, I wrote to My Heritage and they have still not responded to my request for assistance. They are highly Sloppy and unprofessional in responding to customer request for assistance. Even though they have and excellent Technical Team. Fortunately I have another Computer with Windows 8 as a result of which I am able to continue working with my Website. But recently a few problems have cropped up with the recent upgrade of the My Heritage Program and have sent in a request for assistance and till today 3-5 months later I have no response. Apparently the company believes that they can play games with the customers. I firmly believe that they have somehow gone into self destructive mode.

Answer: Hi After posting my complaint about MyHeritage on here I got a very quick response from some one called Dave at the company. He told me to send an email to [email protected] and add the subject Dave: sitejabber. He responded a couple of days later - I emailed on a Saturday - and the auto repeat on my subscription was cancelled and my money refunded within days. Hope this helps.
