Me reencontré con mis antepasados y de las regiones de donde vinieron a Argentina
OldNews not as expected. Instead of seeing full page of newspaper you see AI generated words all strung together into one long indecipherable paragraph. Not impressed.
Aide attentif et efficace.Merci a l'équipe. Je recommande votre site à mes amis.
Muy buena experiencia, a pesar que he encontrado alguna dificultades para conocer una parte de mis ancentros, dado que no he encontrado mayores antecedentes.
MyHeritage is outstanding for researchers of European and Jewish ancestry. Other genealogical sites cover USA and British records at the expense of other records.
Je fais des recherches généalogiques depuis des années. A ma grande et heureuse surprise j'ai retrouvé beaucoup de membres de ma famille. Je conseille ce site qui est beaucoup plus complet et intéressant que les autres
Ho fatto abbonamento da 190 euro. Ho pagato x kit dna, se voglio altre informazioni chiedono soldi …. Non trovo molto chiaro quello che offrono senza pagare. So chi sono i miei genitori e non mi serve mi ricordino di fare gli auguri a mia sorella. Io ho spiegato che la mia ricerca non è facile ma non trovo alcun aiuto. Se scrivi al servizio clienti rispondono dopo
Una settimana ……. Incredibile! Manca un supporto sempre attivo che ti indirizzi e ti insegni come muoverti. Peccato ci contavo!
Allows me to search enormous number of records and update my tree
Ik snap weinig van hoe je je dna moet vergelijken met anderen… wel interessant maar als je dus zoals ik zoek naar een onbekende overgrootvader: dan raak ik t spoor bijster.
Confirme con la prueba de ADN parte de la información genealógica que tenía. Recomiendo absolutamente
It has been great doing my family tree. Learning things my parents didn't even know
After my Sicilian grandfather, U.S. immigrant, died in 1970, there was no one left to keep up the correspondence between the split family. But, being a family of diligence and loving research, the two sides came together finally in Oct 2024! Thanks to a direct relative of mine in Rome (common ancestor is from 1650!), hundreds of DePasquales were added to MyHeritage, and a link was found. If I had not sat down with my grandmother in 1996, and written all the names she could remember, it would have never happened. As soon as I learned the birth town of Grandpa, I planned the trip to Rodì in Sicily. Arriving unannounced, within three hours we had reconnected with three relatives, including the 95-year-old cousin of my mother. Within 2 days, I had met 11 (!) and now know of at least 15 others! I return with some from the U.S. and meet more there in October 2025. And future trips are being planned by others.
It was all possible because of MyHeritage.
The website was acting up and didn't acknowledge my initial order at first. It did so after I had reordered it so billed for two. I couldn't get hold of anyone via chat, email or phone for a day or two.
Once I did get through the operator was excellent and dealt with my problem and a refund was very quick.
I love that your records go back in time a long, long way.
I'm always able to find out things about my ancestors.
MyHeritage made the process of family tree creation, easy and very straight forward. All the tools are collected in one place, including research, drawing of the tree, DNA, and easy connections to other trees to make the tree more complete.
Veel familieleden gevonden, was wel een puzzel. Soms ging het erg moeizaam.
Smart matches are critical to my research but dangerous. I would like to see vital stats provided but understand the complexity or impossibility of doing that
The online help is not user friendly: however when I asked & received a call back it was 100%.
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 (support@myheritage.com).
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 support@myheritage.com 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.
