Iniziare il proprio albero genealogico può essere faticoso perché nella vita non ci trova subito ad interessarsi della vita dei nonni zii bisnonni,ma ad un certo punto ti accorgi che di loro non sai nulla e ti dispiace, senti un vuoto.Corri ad informarti dalla mamma e cominci a scrivere date nomi luoghi mestieri, cerchi foto per vedere le somiglianze...wow più ne sai più ti piace. Inizi a compilare facilmente il tuo Parentado su My heritage e come per magia appare un Albero che con i loro suggerimenti si ingrandisce sempre di più! Semplicemente emozionante!

Ervaring met Stamboom Heritage
February 13, 2025
Updated review

Altijd per mail of persoonlijk via de telefoon bereikbaar om je te ondersteunen met het opbouwen van mijn stamboom. Heb inmiddels door de loop der jaren heen een grote stamboom kunnen opbouwen met steeds weer nieuwe records om te verwerken. Het programma is soms zoeken waar ik iets moet archiveren maar uiteindelijk lukt het mij.

Teleurgesteld afschaf gratis account
February 13, 2025

Ik ben teleurgesteld dat de optie gratis account eraf wordt gehaald. De prijzen zijn voor mij helaas niet financieel te doen. En nu krijg ik een mail dat ik straks alles kwijt ben als ik geen betaald abonnement neem.
Ben benieuwd hoe het dan zit met mijn DNA blikft die wel beschikbaar want die heb ik pas geleden bij jullie gekocht en gedaan. Wil dat zeggen dat ik na kleine maand dat ook kwijt ben. Daar gaat mijn geld.
Verder ben ik redelijk tevreden over mijn herritage, alleen jammer dat je snel voor meer inzicht een betaalde versie moet hebben, en jammer dat de prijzen hiervan nogal hoog zijn.

Site Satisfaction
November 22, 2024
Previous review

I am more than satisfied with My Heritage, having found out more from not only the site but also contacts with other members giving me more information and how both my tree and their's share common Ancestry. I used to belong to Genes Reunited where I got a fair amount of data to start my tree, with records as proof but found it very time consuming looking for it but with My Heritage I get a lot of information sent on a regular basis through Smart Matches.
Brilliant site.

Platená verzia veľmi pomáha pri výskume a získavaní poznatkov o histórii vlastnej rodiny. Aj verzia zadarmo je užitočná a môžete urobiť rodokmeň z 250 osôb, čo je dostatočné pre priame línie až do roku približne 1700.

There is always room for improvement
February 13, 2025

I am very satisfied with MyHeritage and appreciate all the advancements made in the years I have been using it. I look forward to any improvements you can make to ensure that people get to correct connections wherever possible. I see far too many multiple relations for the same person in the matches I get, if there is an absolute correct proven relationship available can that be prompted to the user when creating new entries.
