Fees keep rising and long time subscribers like do not get any real advantage... Just access to sources of little use. I maintain a tree with thousands of people and I have not had real advantage in doing so. I am really thinking to keep my tree locally.

Faltam atualizações
June 23, 2025

Eu utilizo o My Heritage apenas para usar o pacote de fotos e já faz muitos anos que a parte da colorização não sofre atualizações. Já pedi diversas vezes para que a plataforma atualize e melhore esta função pois muitas fotos que colorizo o resultado é ruim.

Très mauvaise expérience...
À ce jour, j'ai placé 2 commandes importantes pour lesquelles je n'ai reçu aucune nouvelles. Il s'agit du traitement d'un produit généalogique fait sur mesure par vos experts.
L'autre consiste à l'achat d'un kit ADN.
De plus, j'ai adhéré à un plan PREMIUM PLUS d'un montant de C$ 199 et, je me demande en quoi consiste le support clientèle prioritaire?

I have trouble with duplicate and even more items such as DOB; addresses and etc. When I delete the duplicates and more, then try to save I get notice it will not update the corrected items.

As I no longer have any close relatives to help my search, this opened up a lot of info for me. I really appreciate it. It's exciting to go into my email to find an incoming message from "My Heritage".

Easy way forward.
June 23, 2025

I spent many years researching my family and it was a slow process. Having a computer made things much easier, better than staring at microfiche. Even then it was still slow waiting for certificates finding they were wrong. Then I gave My Heritage a try and have never looked back since. It is very straightforward forward to use and in no time I have got back several hundred years because there are several other people who are researching related families. And now with DNA I find even more people I am connected to all around the world. I would not hesitate to recommend My Heritage to anyone who is stuck in there research it will certainly help you and you never know who you may find.

Not what I thought.
June 23, 2025

In my experience, I have received a flood of incorrect information that does not correspond to the accurate information I have entered. The algorithm is not sensitive to this dynamic. I am constantly being given American records for ancestors who never left Ireland. I've stopped reading what I'm sent because it takes too much time and is never correct.

Call about discontinued account
June 23, 2025

I got a call my account was not renewed and would be discontinued. Well I had it wrote down as July 20th instead of June 20th. My credit card had been hacked so did not replace on my account. Thanks to the very nice gentleman that called. I was asleep so did not write his name down, about the account needed to be renewed. He even called back an hour later giving me time to check my information on My Heritage site. Thank you so much for the reminder and I renewed to up grade of Complete without OMNI. Saved me about half the price and I love My Heritage site. Thanks again for the call to remind me I was over due. I got it all straight and wrote the correct amount, date, and credit card down this time.

My only downsides are not being able to easily delete someone from my tree. Not being able to easily remove multiple of the same hints. I found my bio grandfather and obtained the information I need from family but daily I received the same hints multiple times. Not only for my grandfather but other family members too. So now I just ignore the lot. Got over 3,000 multiple hints. Also my maternal side European, lots of hints, but my paternal African, via the Caribbean NO hints whatsoever.

Great family research tool!
June 23, 2025

I have used MyHeritage for years now. I enjoy being able to combine my records together with family trees from others, DNA kits, military records, census records, death records, and even newspaper articles. The photo repair and enhancing tools are also very helpful. MyHeritage has helped me push past several dead ends and explore many branches of my tree. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in genealogy.
