After joining and paying for a 2 year membership I discovered that unless I paid an additional $9.95 per month I could not see anything I had researched.Click on research and it tells you that it has a number of things, records etc but to access them you need to pay an additional $9.95 a month!All you get for the membership is the ability for " smart matches" which is nothing more than a match up of what other people have put on the site, with none of the accompanying records to prove their entries are backed up by solid evidence such as birth certificates or death certificates. The software is lame! Once you have checked out a smart match and verified it the smart match is still displayed by the name, thus you have no idea which ones you have checked out.It does not remove the research symbol when you have checked out that either. So unless you keep a hand written record of the smart matches you have already checked out you could be going back over the same people over and over again.
In summary, I would not recommend My Heritage to a friend.
