I did not utilize the service to it's fullest but what I did encounter was an excellent base for beginning a search of family surnames. Mine is not the most common in the world but the data they came up with on my first search jibed perfectly with what I knew to be true of my family surname. This seems to be as good a place to start as any other site but be certain that you want to utilize the service before you input any credit card information because they will charge your card before your "free trial" ends! Keep all your receipts and e-mails exchanged with this site in an easily accessible place in case you want to back out before your free trial ends... it could become problematic however with persistence and patience you will prevail.

Hello everyone,

I'm Davide, an Italian man and I started to use My Heritage when I wanted to remember my origins. I found this program and immediately I downloaded it!

At the beginning I paid the fee for the first year but then, I am a student and I haven't money now, I worked and I'm working only on My Heritage on my PC.

When I showed to my family and my relatives what I had done...all of them were and are excited because from my computer being born an interesting family heritage.

I'm sure that in the future I'll pay the fee to have more opportunity for know others of my relatives and to keep in touch with my distant relatives.

See you soon!

Davide

My Heritage is an excellent program to find familymembers from now and from the past.
It gives me the possibility to get aquainted with other investigators.
The possibility to merge sites is very attractive. At the other hand one must be careful to merge if the origin of the found relatives is unknown.

In former years you had to visit a archaive to find relatives. But then you had an official paper. With Heritage you can stay at home, but it is not always certain that you add the right people to your base.

Thank you for making such good software!

I love seeing all of the realatives linking together. I have a difficult time editing and making changes, there is something that I don't understand, but I am sure that the Support group will help me figure it out.

I have always had trouble remembering my family ties and distance relatives and as the family got older those who could remember passed away. I made a promise to myself to research my family tree and put 'pen to paper' in an electronic way. Finding the My Heritage program and site has probably been the best free program I have ever found on the Internet. I am still on the free version with 219 relatives in the tree and have now got a link to 8 generations of the family.

If you are looking to start then there is ONLY ONE program to chose and this is it.

My wife's family who are Polish are on the tree and can even see details in Polish.

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

This company charged my credit card for an annual subscription but I never received access to anything other than their basic level site and NO data subscriptions whatsoever. No response from support other than offering to sell me another annual subscription (4 days after they took my money the first time). I'm really sorry I ever arrived at their homepage. Cave Emptor!
Conclusion: this is a SCAM site.

In summary, I would not recommend My Heritage to a friend.

I started our family tree for my daughter when my wife was expecting, now that my daughter is a 1st. grader it came very handy when she had the family tree homework assignment, we impressed the whole class. Not only because of all the 6 generations of family data collected but also because of the ease of organizing, adding data, adding pictures and actually printing the family tree with all data including pictures. This is an amazing program and would recommend it to all families. It's a great way to get all the family involved specially when the kids see where their roots, heritage and history comes from. My daughter started to get involved in interviewing and collecting data when she was 4 and thus was able to make a great presentation at school 2 years later, there's no age limit to put your family tree together, get your kids involved, you would love it and they would love it. Thanks for such great product.

I manually commenced my family tree project some years ago and essentially gave it up as being too difficult and time-consuming. Since joining MyHeritage.com, my interest has been revived, the project has generated quite a bit of interest amongst relatives, and I am now nearing completion, apart from locating some "missing" cousins in Australia and proving beyond doubt who fathered my paternal great grandfather.

In the process, I have found two US second cousins and a third cousin in France.

Support from the friendly people at MyHeritage.com has been excellent.

My only concern is with research, where the MyHeritage.com computers are well wide of the mark in identifying possible matches, following my own location of two second cousins, when seeking more information on my father's uncle in California.

I joined My Heritage about 18months ago. At the time I was a complete beginner to Genealogy and had very little information and no money to buy information.
I stayed on their free plan for 6 months and without paying a cent, found living family members lost due to divorces etc and I extended my knowledge of my family history right back to the 1700's. There was no other sites that offer all that for free.

My family tree extended so much that I decided it was worth paying a membership and upgrade my storage. This extended my options for searching and gave me more storage space, all for a minimum fee.

It has not all been clean sailing as I had issues upgrading but I emailed my problem and received a call within minutes and they fixed my issue over the phone, later there was a programing error and once again within minutes I was contacted and it was corrected in minutes. It is a pleasure to have a company actually deal with issues so quickly and politely.

It is important to note that this is a share site. I always double check information I gather from other people on the... (Read the full review)
