Am a returning customer. I tried a lot of other genealogy web sites, there good, but not as good as MyHeritage.
That why I returned.

There are now just a few too many discoveries sent at one time which makes it more difficult to process.

From the very start of joining it gave you a lot of help and new member additions to review. After 3 years it is still an adventure.

L'accès à ce site permet un accès à des millions de documents provenant de sources très diverses, et nous permet de dialoguer avec des personnes qui ont des ancêtres communs avec nous.
Lors de ma souscription, j'ai pu accéder à des tests ADN et pouvoir les croiser avec d'autres résultats de différents pays ce qui m'a permis de voir les niveaux de " cousinage ".

My direct ancestor are very important in the first settlements in America AND the settlement of several future states. They are some of the first to settle beyond the Appalchain Mountains

After more than a fifty year search I found direct ancestry with the settlement of Jamestown, VA.
My direct ancestor was the great hunter, soldier and carpenter for the colony AND was the brother-in-law of leader of the colony john Smith. At the same time my Native American ancestry was confirmed with a direct connection Chief Powhatan.

I also found direct ancestry to the first settlers of Plimoth colony, Massachusetts 16

I found direct ancestry to most of the Scottish King and royalty. Direct ancestry to several English Kings and royalty.

Found direct ancestry to the King of Norway, Sweden and Denmark

Found direct ancestry to A Spanish King

My direct ancestry to royalty in Ireland, Wales, Germany, Holland and Belgium.

As a historian these discoveries are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

I am a long time member of MY. Firstly, I wonder why MH does not refine the DNA sample I sent in. Other companies do. I don't believe my one is accurate.
I find a few features have been at the cutting edge eg photos. I like that it suggests conflicts in information but some of these I can't correct. For me, the main part is constructing my family tree and this has been cumbersome. I don't have hours to wait on help. So I have become less impressed and less engaged with it.

I checked out several sites before choosing myheritage. They have it all! I sent them my DNA and they've matched me up with a lot of relatives, some I never even knew about from all over the world! I can choose who can see what information, they opened up a lot of records, and opened my eyes to so many new experiences and places to look. I love them!
