I thought I knew all that I needed to know about my ancestry until I visited my father's birthplace in 2015, which he had left in 1923, never to return. After a four-day visit, I found there was much I did not know and turned to My Heritage for help. From little else than four uncle/aunts, four first cousins and four grandparents, I have now compiled a family tree of 9,020 direct and indirect (through marriage) persons extending from the 15th Century and covering the UK, Europe and the Americas. Naturally this involved much research but it was well worth it. Thank you My Heritage.

After months and untold research sessions on another ancestry site - - My Heritage came thru with a match that enabled me to verify a great Grandfather. Thru his link I have been able to reach back three further generations. Two of my Grandmother's sisters had married brothers. I and a 2nd cousin was able to straighten out which of their children belonged to which set of parents. Because of same last name, place of birth, and mistakes in birthdates identities had gotten jumbled. We were glad there is a place to leave notes for the benefit of future researchers.

I have been a member since 1978. I am now a poor disabled elderly woman. You have taken all of my family trees and deleted half because I can no longer pay for them. I believe I worked very hard to reach that level. I was a high paying member most of my time spent here. And I am blocked from viewing all of my tree fulling. Even if I could afford your price I would not feel that you would deserve the price you ask for. Since you cut me off from access to all my work that I paid for all those years. Shame on you 😕 😔 Sheri Lyn Stigall

I spend most of my time correcting the unusable and incorrect data that I hoped your professional team would find but unfortunately you use the public to do your work to improve your pin or y and poor data. The. You have the Ada side to highlight your own errors by using the search engine to advise your customers of your errors. Yesterday I received anew data with one individual reported to be born is 1560 around 100 years older than both her parents is this what you all a professional job. I could never recomend this site to anyone. It is full of mistakes that in my opinion should've addressed by your professional team. However the only professionals are your clients. This applies also to all your other siftware that you share

I like it when I get notifications that there's been a discovery, but when it's a "Father's cousin's wife's grandfather's aunt's uncle, I'm like, eh. I prefer seeing and discovering direct lineage in my family. And when there's a DNA "match" that indicates less than a 0.05% probability, and your site even say, "Low Confidence", why bother? The last thing is- having to receive an email with a verification code. Otherwise, it's an enjoyable experience.

Subscription services is very accommodating to help optimize the various genealogy tools. The system is very user friendly and provides avenues to create very detailed profiles. Matches and smart matches help fill profiles and make connections with relatives. Providing access to MyHeritage to family and relatives is a great way to ensure accuracy in the family tree. Newspapers matches can be a treasury trove of information to learn more about members in the tree. It is like being a history detective. I love it!

My experience has been good with searching for relatives and the tools you provide such as auto clusters help with the bigger picture of matches. I have a brick wall on the maternal side with my grandmother and great grandmother on my mother's side whose surnames don't appear to match their DNA information. The DNA maternal matches I have are not of a high value with some around 40cm. I wonder if is possible to use AI to create paths to possible matches. One cluster I believe to be significant is cluster 7. (Fabbri, Goins, Dow, Orr)
