I had some problems with "unknown" names at my family tree and sent a message to MyHeritage support. In less than 24 hours I received an answer with a guide to solve my problems. Now my family tree is ok.

In summary, I would recommend My Heritage to a friend.

I found My Heritage via Stumbleupon and I've not regretted using it to start a family tree. This got me searching for other similar applications to see how they differ. Overall, My Heritage is my top choice for the purpose.

Apart from the fun and exciting part of it, the application is very useful to keep families close knit and bonded. It is also totally infectious. At least, for my circle of relatives.They love it, too.
I really do not have any negative sentiments about this product. It is simply awesome!

In summary, I would recommend My Heritage to a friend.

I my opinion MyHeritage is a very useful site and well organized. The last weeks I needed two times any help to solve some problems. The supportteam was helping in both cases and my problems were dissolved within 24 hours. Thats great!

In summary, I would recommend My Heritage to a friend.

I have been using MyHeritage for just over a year and have found it a very user friendly site. It was easy to start working with and now that I have discovered the Tree Builder it is a joy to work with. I am not a great computer wizz but find it easy to move around the site add photos and find new family with the smart match facility. A discussion via the inbox is easy with other members. Give it a go I'm sure you will find it very rewarding.

In summary, I would recommend My Heritage to a friend.

Are you thinking of building a family tree? Than go to www.myheritage.com and get a free download. Start with yourself and after some time you can make a nice book for your family and transfer it to your own website with different-photo albums and documents for yourself and members of your site.
If you want more you can chose a Premium or Premium Plus and Data account, that's up to you. I have done the last and the use of Smart- and Record Matches makes it very easy to improve your Family Tree and its easy to make contact with other MyHeritage members on-site.
it can happen that you need assistance and in that case the MyHeritage Support Team will help you very fast in a friendly manner and adequate way.
When you are busy with it, it could work like an addiction, but without "drugs".
Try it now

In summary, I would recommend My Heritage to a friend.

I just dabble, and this seems perfect for me. Once in a while, a Smart Match reveals long-forgotten relatives, and this is always exciting. My 91 year old father thought he had 4 aunts and uncles. I was able to show him that he had 7, and reading out the names of the forgotten ones made his face light up. His smile of recognition was worth the investment alone.

In summary, I would recommend My Heritage to a friend.

I had a great experience with My Heritage. Having so much information makes it a great tool for research and getting to know more of your family and other families.
My only concern was having privacy. I emailed them for help and I received a response the same day. By the second day my problem was solved.
It is great to know that behind a site there is people working hard to improve the site and help the customers.

In summary, I would recommend My Heritage to a friend.

I had recently started to use Family Tree Builder, I had been using a different program to manage my files and My heritage was used for research, it was becoming increasingly awkward to maintain 2 separate systems so I decided to take the plunge with Family tree builder. I exported a GEDCOM file from my old app and uploaded it to my heritage, unfortunately it would not sync with my existing site, so I had to basically start from Scratch, this proved a bit of a nightmare as I was inundated with approximately 300K smart matches. One feature I like is the consistency checker, it is great at identifying underlying problems with your files, I had some problems I could not figure out, so I sent a note to tech support, and Laura there got back to me very quickly and she helped solve my problem. So now all is well and I just have to figure out how to handle all these smart matches in a timely fashion!!

In summary, I would recommend My Heritage to a friend.

I am not of the computer age and I had an issue and couldn't think how to do what needed to be done. May be obvious for most but not me. Didn't think I had a chance sending an email to myheritage help and having them understand what I was trying to do let alone help AND quickly. I was wrong. I sent off an email and got a response from Laura promptly. No tech speak or me finding someone to translate the lingo. Got the issue solved and all happy again. Thanks Laura !

In summary, I would recommend My Heritage to a friend.

I decided to give My Heritage a try several months ago and I am quite happy that I decided to do so. The software used for creating my family tree is very easy to use and very thorough in its content.

I definitely like the Smart Matching feature. It allows me to find matching individuals in other family trees, as well as their ancestors and descendants, which can be useful as additions to my tree. My only "complaint" about the Smart Matching is that rejected matches will reappear in new searches. It would seem to me that a rejected match should disappear from the list and not be offered to me again in future searches. This is only a minor annoyance, however, and does not detract from the overall value of the Smart Matching feature.

The ability of the software/site to search various other repositories of records (census, birth, death, etc.) and offer possible matches to individuals in the tree is also quite useful, although it is somewhat frustrating to click on a possible record match only to learn that a payment (annual data subscription) is required to access the record and determine if it is really a match....
