Knowledge Base
February 13, 2025
Updated review

The knowledge base on My Heritage is phenomenal, consequently my knowledge base of my own family has greatly increased. It is a great feeling to find out so much about your family that you did not know before. Sometimes you find out that things you have always been told are not correct. This can be disappointing but at the same time exhilarating as a discovery has been made that puts an entirely new light on your research.

It's all there, You just have to look for it.

A mix of feelings as I find things out. There is plenty to find and the means to do it. Some things I have found were not as the family told me. That sort of thing leads to more research to find out the facts. This is where the surprises and disappointments can be. But all still very interesting. I find My heritage a great sit and now with Family Search in Utah added it is unrivalled.

I love being part of MyHeritage!
February 13, 2025

I love MyHeritage. I do find it difficult to access for myself as I have a complicated computer set up and I need to get my verifiation code sent to my I-phone. That is not possible according to the person I spoke with. At this time in my life my time to use my genealogy sites is extremely limited and I would love to be able to get right to work in the few moments that I have at the time. Otherwise great site! Love it!

Très bon site pour la généalogie
February 13, 2025

J ai pu avoir le plaisir de beaucoup développer mon arbre. Un seul regret, la législation française qui est revenue en arrière sur l adn alors que d autres pays d Europe sont plus permissifs. J estime que c est mon corps, mon adn et que je devrais être libre d en disposer.

Ahnenforschung im heutigen Polen
February 13, 2025

My Heritage ist sehr hilfreich in einigen Bereichen des heutigen Polen und zeigt immer wieder neue Personen, die zum Stammbaum passen. Allerdings nicht in allen Gegenden. Diese Lücken sind dann bei einer anderen Plattform (fängt mit "A" an...) zu finden. Etwas anstrengend finde ich die ständige Frage "Bist du ein Roboter?", was bei Eingabe von größeren Datenmengen zu unnötigen Zeitverzögerungen führt.

Overwhelming but worthwhile endeavor
February 13, 2025

When you start out it is very exciting to learn more about your family roots. You soon can be overwhelmed with the sheer number of people and the generations. I felt this desire to continue and you realize it is important to the younger generation of your pedigree should they endeavor where you left off in your discovery. Family is important and is what keeps me coming back. I found just as I was nearing my goal then I had all of sudden thousands more but I can finally say, now that I have caught up, that the feelings of accomplishment are very good for the soul.
