Dad was a bit overwhelmed. He had six kids and a hearing problem, so adding more voices to the mix was, well, contra-indicated. Add to this that the family stretches from Alaska to Florida and all points between. The upshot of this is that his six kids don't know their relatives. No visits to aunts and uncles. No idea how fun cousins could be. They had to wait until they'd reached adulthood, and joined MyHeritage.com to find out to whom they were related and how. We now have over 700 entries, including education, family stories, dates, baptisms, unusual birth and death details, and hundreds of photos.
Great features: a central repository for information gleaned from our seldom reunions, a place to see faces then and now, reminders of important dates, a service for sending a timely greeting, easy updates, and lots of potential matches.
Features that need some work: their database isn't always the easiest to navigate, and sometimes data winds up in the most unexpected places although it was entered in the proper field. The customer service is kind of slow, and emails to them must go into spam or elsewhere because I always have to ask twice. I don't see the same help available from them that I see from other sites as far as helping with research. And, there seems to be one user who is determined to join every other family site with no visible link to the family.
Still, it rocks to see the family using the site to help with person to person communication. We are a closer family because of MyHeritage.com
In summary, I would recommend My Heritage to a friend.
