Consistency, how do the dates get messed up, when it's a simple transfer of info? Is there a way to just do the main people in the tree instead of adding so many branches? I find it all very interesting, and especially when contacting others

Je suis très contente de ka possibilité récente de connaître les relations familiales avec toutes les personnes de mon arbre. Cependant parfois j'ai plusieurs liens avec certaines personnes mais MyHeritage il le semble ne me propose qu'une seule piste.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren

Wen Sie die Emails, die ich Ihnen am Wochenende und heute Montagmorgen gesandt habe, können Sie selbst feststellen: Sie haben sehr schlecht abgeschnitten! Ich bin sehr unzufrieden und ersuche Sie dringend, die noch bestehenden Fehler – siehe dazu die von mir erwähnten Emails – umgehend zu beheben!
Freundliche Grüsse

This is such a great site for family history research. I love receiving hints from other users' family trees who are related to me, even if it's a far distant relationship. It all helps to fill in the gaps in my own knowledge. It's fabulous to see my tree growing so many branches!

My DNA had very strange results, at odds with my 40 years of research. To help me, Myheritage gave DNA tests to my half brother and children. Once the results arrived, knowing how stressed I was, they contacted me, helped find my birth father's family, and paid for me to meet my unexpected family.I can't set date below but it was around 2018.

My DNA resuults
February 13, 2025

I sent in my sample for DNA analysis a few months ago and, though someone at MH did tell me it takes a bit of time, I have had no update on its progress since that message.

I want the DNA analysed and to know the results, but am losing confidence I'll every hear back from My Heritage. If I can get confirmation that is either being analysed or is in a queue for that purpose, I'll be a lot happier.

Thank you.
