I've recently moved all my records from another site.
Let me start by saying I love a lot of MyHeritage's Features.
Tree Checker is Great - it helps you to remove a LOT of dead data from your tree (especially following move from another site using GEDCOM, like I did).
I also split my trees on this other site, and I can only see now, (after running relationships report) that the other site did not properly remove the obsolete family from each tree after this split.
I love the Relationships Report from MyHeritage for isolating those persons who are duplicated and require removing from each tree
BUT what WOULD be helpful, would be for MyHeritage to offer a BULK removal service for those persons identified by this report as "not related to to the home person.
Instead I lodged a call, waited a couple of days, called back MyHeritage - only to be told that I would have to delete each of those persons one by one!!
(If anyone knows how to delete in bulk it would save me hours & hours before I can actually start to use MyHeritage)
Plus - I dont think I've quite got to grips with this sync-ing - I started deleting these people one day - I removed a couple of hundred from one of my 6 trees - only to log back in later to do a few more & see these all had re-appeared!! ARrrgghhh!!
I sincerely hope it's trial & error & I haven't wasted my money.
I was assured on the phone last night & give more instruction regarding a rather complicated upload/download system of sync between Family tree builder & Online Trees.
Finally - I asked about the Tutorial (from the Family Tree Builder) - although I'm a premium member - appear to have to pay to download it - this was pushed aside in favour of "favourite questions" - although I'd prefer an official manual to refer to if anyone knows how??
In summary, I would recommend My Heritage to a friend.
