In spite of the inaccurate explanations written, I do not understand and why you have changed the pourcentages of my own first data and also "lost" entirely some other data? Moreover, I believe only in the genetical data and not in the genealogical ones coming from papers very difficult to read and often which lie to "adapt" the false reality according to the ideology ruling these periods. As we say from a long time ago: mother is sure but father maybe. So only the genetical results are credible and reliable never the paper files..

Unwanted sales pitch
February 13, 2025

Someone from your organization called me and pressured me to purchase two years.
He was quite persistent on purchasing the $500 deal. He kept missing how he was there to helped me. But the pressure was pretty intense.

Très bon site de généalogie
February 13, 2025

J'utilise myheritage depuis une quinzaine d'années. Au début, j'ai pu agrandir mon arbre grâce à de nombreuses découvertes, puis cela s'est un peu tassé.
Depuis quelques mois et l'indexation de nouveaux documents, j'ai à nouveau beaucoup de correspondances intéressantes et je passe beaucoup de temps sur le site.
Je suis très satisfaite de toutes les possibilités offertes par myheritage.

Finding missing pieces
February 13, 2025

Love my heritage. Have been compiling my family tree as well as others for family and friends. If records are available they are there plus new ones being added all the time. Plus record numbers are there to prove it is correct. I can contact other people researching name I am researching to gather even more info and I ca n invite them to my site so they can look at my tree. Have done dna with them as well and have found so many distant relatives. They even give you a theory on some as to how u are related makes it soo easy.

Ohne Vorkenntnisse wird der Nutzer intuitiv durch das Programm geführt. Ein Stammbaum ist schnell und leicht angelegt. Alle Nutzer die darüber hinaus in die Ahnenforschung tiefer einsteigen bietet das Programm eine Vielzahl an Möglichkeiten, um seine Familiengeschichte zu erforschen. Für mich ist MyHeritage weiterhin die beste Wahl.

Expensive Details
February 13, 2025

It is amazing how I have been able to correct and add details to my family history. I could not have done this without the assistance of MyHeritage. In addition, it has also allowed me to expand my heritage by adding parents and spouses when I did not have these. Thank you so very much...

Great with DNA!
February 13, 2025

It has provided many DNA matches in Norway. This is a great help to verify ancestors that are difficult to verify with records.

My heritage experience
February 13, 2025

My Heritage are very quick in updating connections. However I feel I am being bombarded with information, some of which is incorrect and I find it difficult to correct wrong information without it being added to my tree.
This is a daily experience.
I find it difficult to stay on task of writing my own family history/story booklets.

The web interface works well. The key area to be careful about is automatically importing "Smart Matches." Other users may not be as keen on paying attention to the details of building a family tree. I always try and find corraborating information before adding this type of information to my tree.

First Impressions
February 13, 2025

Looks like it will provide some good info once it is processed. Mailing the sample from Canada was very expensive and it should clearly state that it must be shipped as a small package declaring what is in the package. This confusion resulted in package being returned and then I had to paying postage again. Total cost to ship package was about $15.00. Also should state when purchasing that return postage is NOT included.
