Im großen und Ganzen hab ich viele Ahnen gefunden von deren Existenz niemand wusste. Jedoch gibt es dennoch sehr viele Fehler weil viele Nutzer nicht ordentlich eintragen.

Wiele lat temu zacząłem tworzyć Drzewo Genealogiczne Rodziny Gebel/Göbel.
Wybrałem Myheritage, gdyż uznałem, że jest to najlepsza platforma do tworzenia mojego drzewa genealogicznego. Dzięki Myheritage, jej funkcjom, mogłem łatwiej rozbudować moje drzewo genealogiczne.
Jestem bardzo zadowolony z Myheritage i polecam ją wszystkim osobom tworzącym swoje drzewo genealogiczne.

Der Kundendienst ist 10/10 und sehr Hilfsbereit. Ich habe ausversehen ein 12 Monatiges Abo gelöst obwohl ich nur ein DNA Kit wollte. MyHeritage kam mir ein bisschen entgegen. Trotzdem muss ich sagen das es ziemlich verwirrend ist mit den Angeboten oder dem Automatischen verlängern nach dem Probeabo.

In a nutshell, it works well. Value for money, maybe a 7 out of 10, after a while I found I would need additional add ons like Newspapers to get the full picture which incur extra fee's. To create the basic tree My Heritage works very well, to add all the leaves takes much longer and needs more $$$ spent. Starting from scratch the building of a family tree can be a rewarding experience, as you get deeply involved this site has some limitations, still I consider it a useful site to be connected with.

Shoveling up more roots
March 8, 2025

Many times I have been over my family genealogy. Just when the tree is finished a new root pops up. I guess the tree is never going to stop growing. I could not tend my forest without My Heritage. I am an arborist sometimes. I find an inconsistent root that needs moving. More times than not, new shoots are discovered by the Heritage genealogists some where in the news, or in an archive. I wish someday I could figure out how to make the tree branches look pretty with a leaf here or there and still be readable.

Disappointed
March 8, 2025

After spending $700 to improve MH for 2 years, I still can't view many of the hints without "up-grading" my subscription. What a waste & disappointment.

Confusing
March 8, 2025

I wanted to merge two large trees on My heritage. Instead I have ended up with 2 large and 2 small.
Yes they are all trees I had created over the years but now I keep getting hints for the older smaller ones which Zi don't want.

I enjoy spending hours sifting through many the suggested members of my ancestors. It keeps me off other social media sites, lol. Over a few years I have grown my family tree to be many thousands of people now.
