I wasn't happy with the automatic renewal renewal. Hopefully this won't happen again. However I was happy w the end result.
I have just spoken to shimon about 2 problems i was having. He was polite, knowledgeable and understanding and solved my 2 problems.
Es ist sehr einfach.My Heritage unterstützt sehr stark und ist eine große Hilfe.Es gibt dort viele Möglichkeiten seine Verwanten zu suchen.
Une aide grandement appréciable, permet d'avancer rapidement dans des recherches pas évidentes. Les recherches automatiques ou demandées de MyHeritage permettent d'avoir à domicile, servi directement sur le PC! Alors que les recherches traditionnelles par courrier sont plus compliquées et longues surtout pour l'étranger.
Je ne peut que vous conseillez une expérience avec MyHeritage pour apprécier et plus encore.
MyHeritage, helped me find unknown information about my extended families.
With such a vast wealth of records and users, I can find many of my ancestors. It's easy to use and search for these people, and connect with new branches.
Con voi...ho potuto trovare dei miei avi molto antichi eccellente grazie a voi
I have been using it since 2010. You can store photos, build a tree and find connections. It is easy and interesting
From the time I purchase my DNA test until I received it, sent it away and got the results I was informed of journey through the system and what stage it was at.
Hätte mir mehr Infos bzgl. Meiner Verwandschaft gewünscht.
I was offered a very good deal to renew my membership and took up the offer. I have been very happy with the MyHeritage site for many years and due to personal circumstances, I was unable to renew my membership when it was due. I am very happy I can continue my research.
I have been able to expand my Tree since completing a DNA Test and contacting family I did not know existed. I received a lot of 'Hints' with the new additions, it is unfortunate that some people do not check their 'Discrepancies' and correct them as I came across a mother and child being 200 years apart. So, you need to be careful when Confirming Matches.
Well, where do I begin?
A simple swap, send it away, just simply opens a door.
This consists of multiple exits, exits that spread far and wide. Following the links brings an episode/chapter that is unique.
The information just keeps flowing. It is indeed a wonderful path of history.
Jättebra och smidig sida som fungerar bra i gratisversionen.
Den stora nackdelen är att man bara kan lägga till 250 personer vilket är ingenting upptäckte jag på några timmar.
På sidan jag håller till nu så har jag lagt till över 1000 personer, gratis.
Att man även måste betala för hela året direkt drar ner betyget.
Månadsbetalning hade varit att föredra.
Pratade med en mycket trevlig kille, min engelska är inte den bästa. Men vi förstod varandra helt och hållet.
Putting my family tree on MyHeritage is a lot of fun. I get fantastic smart matches that help me add new relatives and new information for existing relatives. The family tree just keeps on getting bigger. And sometimes I send a message or receive a message from others on MyHeritage that our families connect using smart matches.
Vše je super. Přehledné, funkční pro tvorbu rodokmenu. Škoda jen, že některé funkce nepodporují češtinu.
Plus de 40 ans d'expérience avec MyHeritage (Parentèle, Filae.) et pour moi le meilleur des logiciels de généalogie malgré mes autres abonnements (Filae et Geneatique).
Due to medical; appointments, time is limited to research, to have Heritage looking over my shoulder and informing me of hits on my tree is of great help.
For anyone new to the program I can only say, research what you can but know
Heritage is also checking and will inform you tree checker.
Born and still living in Sweden I learnt about my finnish heritage more than 400 years back in time
Answer: My issue was the automatic renewal without any kind of courtesy reminder prior to the effective date, as other businesses do. Advising one year in advance is a poor business practice. When I contacted them immediately on the renewal effective date, they refused to cancel and offered me a 25% discount. They eventually gave me the full refund but it was due to me turning it over to AMEX to resolve. I do however agree with the advice to base your renewal on your own personal experience.
Answer: You can find your site subscriptions via MyHeritage homepage - pull-down menu on the right upper corner button "Settings". Then click on "My purchases", and button "Site subscriptions". Click "View details". The details contain section "Cancel subscription". Maybe you can get advice by mail from MyHeritage support team ([email protected]).
Answer: If you are looking to get as many connections to your tree that you can, use My Heritage. If you want flexibility in who is added to your tree, use Ancestry.
Answer: Dear Jonathan, Yes I have the same problem, I wrote to My Heritage and they have still not responded to my request for assistance. They are highly Sloppy and unprofessional in responding to customer request for assistance. Even though they have and excellent Technical Team. Fortunately I have another Computer with Windows 8 as a result of which I am able to continue working with my Website. But recently a few problems have cropped up with the recent upgrade of the My Heritage Program and have sent in a request for assistance and till today 3-5 months later I have no response. Apparently the company believes that they can play games with the customers. I firmly believe that they have somehow gone into self destructive mode.

Answer: Hi After posting my complaint about MyHeritage on here I got a very quick response from some one called Dave at the company. He told me to send an email to [email protected] and add the subject Dave: sitejabber. He responded a couple of days later - I emailed on a Saturday - and the auto repeat on my subscription was cancelled and my money refunded within days. Hope this helps.
