Lana M. Spent a lot of time with me in successfully assisting the transfer of two Family trees from my account to my wife's account.

So now we have all our family trees on the one account which makes life easy as we no longer have to change accounts to view family members that we are researching together.

Lana was very patience with me and was able to assist with some computer shortcuts whilst allowing me to master the download of family files from my account to uploading family files to my wife's account. So now we both work on the same account with common families.

My wife also mentioned that she appreciated Lana's patience with us during out time with her

For the experience I feel more confident in using My Heritage programme, thanks to Lana.

Caring
April 17, 2018

My husband's DNA kit was lost in the mail on the way to the lab in Houston. I emailed the company and the next morning I got a reply saying that they would be happy to send another one to us (free) to replace the lost one.

Happily the kit turned up shortly thereafter and MyHeritage didn't have to send it after all. We are waiting excitedly for the results of our samples. Thank you.

As a long time user of the program, I recently ran into a few bewildering situations - discrepancies between my data on my hard drive and the online version, and needed to get help from the site. I corresponded initially with their Support Team, which was answered by Mia, who then saw the matter through to the final conclusion.
This is to simply state that the help I received was extraordinary in all ways and my problems were either resolved or in one case cleared up as to the root of the issue, which was out of the website's area of control.

I have around ******* person on my web family tree once they have deleted it by mistake with no back up. For the second time they have lost a lot of critical information, now they have done it again!
I am waiting for 4 day for a solution but still nothing.
They don't car about losing years of working

Very disappointed that Ive been unable to contact the support team in the uk to discuss the lateness of my DNA results. Every time I have been told by the automated voice to call back later. My husband had his three weeks ago. I have tried at different times of the day and it makes no difference at all.

I'm sorry to hear about your attempt to contact our support team and I will do all I can to help you as soon as possible.

DNA research is currently a very popular subject and we at times experience a high volume of questions from the millions of our members. I totally understand how bothersome it may be to get that automated voice message and I sympathize with your efforts.

We absolutely value your membership and overall member experience and I'd like to personally assist you in tracking our DNA results as soon as possible.

Please write to my inbox from your registered e-mail address at rafael.vipsupport@myheritage.com so I may verify and locate your account.

You are already my first priority here today and I will be looking for your e-mail.

Happy to help

My problem was solved! I was very disappointed when Family Tree Builder would not sync with the My Heritage website. After a few emails back and forth, support decided they needed to connect to my computer. I was a bit alarmed but was reassured it was very secure.
At the agreed time Eden connected to my computer, and through some magic solved the problem. And tested to make sure it worked!
He also helped me to set up so that the right person was on the opening page
I was very impressed. Thank you very much!

So happy to have joined

I made a mistake and in trying to correct it deleted about 700 years of genealogy from the 17th century back. I was nearly in tears when I called and Mark C secured my call and with a few helpful suggestions got me right back to the information I thought was lost. I was so grateful for his help. I have found my investment in MyHeritage.com to have been worth the cost, and the 24/7 help to be excellent and delightful.
