An encouraging few weeks.
February 13, 2025

I have been able to touch base through the DNA results with a cousin I didn't know I had, although we have discovered we did meet when children over 60 years ago. I have also been able to add a number of extra family lines I didn't know about to my family tree.

MyHeritage allowed me to realise my genealogy and know all the branches around the world: 17,000 people. However, there is a problem with the tool Family Tree Builder that doesn't work on Mac

Extremely helpful
February 13, 2025

I had no experience building a family tree. I found MyHeritage very helpful and responsive if I ran into problems, but that didn't even happen often. Excellent site to preserve family history for future generations.

Maravilloso
February 13, 2025

Es maravilloso poder armar nuestro árbol genealógico e ir agregando datos y también descubrir datos nuevos a través de los árboles de otras personas. Ademas realicé, un análisis de mi ADN y es increíble confirmar nuestra ascendencia, descubrir los porcentajes. Muchas gracias. Soy Argentina-Italiana con ascendencia Irlandesa, Italiana del norte y del sur, Española, Escocesa y galesa y en menor medida, Inglesa, Francesa, Bretona y Chilena.

Renewing account
February 13, 2025

Disappointed at way renewal figures suggested:
Price was reduced at least 3 times before "final" amount was quoted.
When I didn't "bite" at the amount it was a rude hang up!

Helt OK!
February 13, 2025

Beställde ett DNA-kit.
Efter en tid kom svaren och jag fick en inblick i min bakgrund.
Spännande, men inte riktigt som jag trodde. I stället för mest Skotte verkar det som jag är Finnländare! Total överraskning, men man får väl tro på vetenskapen.
En lång rad namngivna avlägsna släktingar, bryllingar och sysslingar dök upp...
Vi får se vad jag gör av det hela. Förstår att släktforskning är omfattande och nära nog en heltidshobby, men att lägga närmare 4 000 kr per år är för mycket. Jovisst, första året bara en tusenlapp med rabatt, men hade det kostat just en tusenlapp per år, hade jag hoppat på.

Very pleased
February 13, 2025

Tracking down my ancestry, difficult, confusing at times, my heritage makes it easier than I expected, I find it easier to have a cup of tea, and go back to it when I am confused, ( my fault not the Web site, I often go off down the wrong lines of enquiries, but retrace my steps and start again) very enjoyable when I get it right

Best website for Family records

After 10 years as a member of the MyHeritage community, I can affirm that it is the best Genealogy page that exists. Excellent tools, plugins and printing options, combined with unparalleled customer service.
