Thanks to the information on MyHeritage, I was able to thoroughly research my maternal family history.

Professional data, contact with people researching their roots from practically all over the world, the database is constantly updated.
Great experience. Friendly people, quick to respond, timely usually within 24hrs. Step by step guide to fixing the problem.
I cannot give admin status to my family members who are willing to maintain the tree. It's a great disappointment and we are looking for alternatives

The information I get on my heritage is far better and informative than the other site I was using
I like the fact that you are getting more and more European records on MyHeritage, it makes it ever more useful for me in my family history research. I recently got a very close match for one of the DNA kits I look after and it was great to correspond with the new family member this way,.
Juste dommage de ne plus pouvoir passer par la france.
Il faut trouver une solution car l expérience est intéressante
Bardzo duża baza danych genealogicznych, przyjazny interfejs
Always a step ahead before competition thus increasing my curiosity
To get your health report you must fill in the question list. When there is a mistake or whatever you are not able to get or find a link to finish this list. So it's a waist of your money. Even to get a person to speak is impossible. I call this fraud.
Dear Gert,
Thank you for your review.
We understand your frustration regarding the difficulty in accessing the health report, especially if an issue with the questionnaire is preventing completion. Your concern is valid, and this is certainly not the experience we aim to provide.

Was intending to not renew but was offered a rate I could not resist. MyHeritage is good, I just needed to save some money. Intended to resubscribe later but am satisfied how all turned out.
This site makes researching my family fun fun fun.often I go to this site for a few minutes which turns into hours of fun
I have enjoyed using MyHeritage for many years and I have discovered many new things about my family and relatives.
Donne un aspect global de ses origines. Permet de voir dans quels coins du monde sont partis nos gènes.
I had a serious problem on the site page and I turned to help through Instagram. They answered me very quickly, and solved my problem. I am satisfied with the proposed option. Thanks a lot.
I went through the process several times to receive notifications for family events.birthdays, anniversaries, etc. But it did not work and still not receiving. Settings, preferences, and checked off the options. Need an intervention at your end.
I just discovered the photo dating feature, so I tried it out. At first I thought the date was off, but I went back and matched known birth/death/marriage dates, and the estimated date of the photo is better than my estimated date. I'm going to try it on un-named photos to see if it can help me identify the individuals. What a GREAT FEATURE! I also tried your AI application on a brick wall, but that didn't work well.
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.
