It's fantastic to rediscover your roots. You can add so many relatives that even you didn't know, check the ages, the complete names, etc. It's easy to use and you can add photos and correct mistakes... See more

I was unsure that I wanted to renew my subscription to the site. Without Tohar's interest, suggestions and options I would have let it lapse. He was professional and supportive during our discussion.... See more

I finally was able to get my money…

I finally was able to get my money back. However; it was not My Heritage but rather PayPal.
My Heritage is 'silent' and will never respond to emails, and will never offer to give back the monies they take from your bank account.
Someone on another review site said to go to PayPal. What a wonderful company they are!
The 'automatic' responses from My Heritage are 'bots' and what they say are lies. Be very careful in clicking on a 'free trial' because they will take $207.90 without any email to say your 'free trial' is over.

An unexpected, very pleasant phone call.

The gentleman I spoke with was from New Jersey.
He was a delight to talk to. He was very warm and personable. After a brief time, he tuned in to my experiences with geanealogy sites so far and what it was I needed to stay engaged.
The new "my stories" program is exactly what I needed in order to leave something for my children and grandchildren about the family and its' history.
I am excited and looking forward to the project.

Representative

Representative, Joseph communicated clearly to explain changes and new offerings through My Heritage.

I subscribed to upgraded resources that will help me complete the family history records.

I plan to use one new feature to tell my own story, with pages compiled about my own life.

Difficulty in fixing known inaccuracies. …

I have been receiving some "matches" lately, which I like, but if there is something incorrect about them, it is difficult to change anything without deleting the whole thing. I also do not like the listing of issues (things like ages too close, etc.) as I have been unable to figure out how to fix them. One thing is that my grandmother is listed as too young to have one of my uncles--but he is not her son, he is her stepson. Also, listed under my great-grandmother are her children, but also children of her ex-husband who are unrelated to her. In addition, there are some "matches" that have been mixed in with accurate matches, but are from Britain and completely unrelated to my family, but it seems you have to accept all of the matches on that list.
