★★★★★

written by on 26/03/2018

i had a problem that made me think all my work was lost. when i called MyHeritage to get the problem solved, I had the good luck to connect with Axxxe. She was courteous, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I am very glad and happy at my good fortune tonight. And to connect with an Irish woman who was actually in Ireland was very pleasant surprise (I am of Irish heritage). Thank you Axxxe. It was a pleasure working and talking with you

“Customer Support”

★★★★★

written by ChadCahill236 on 26/03/2018

I have called in several times for different topics, some simple and some more technical. The customer service team is outstanding, they don't make you feel bad for not getting everything right away and are very helpful in every way! They even gave me next steps to do while waiting for things to happen on their end. DNA is not easy but for those questions and technical questions as well I have always been given easy to understand direction and explanations! There has never been a thing about them that has been unsatisfactory, everything outstanding! N Turner, Portland OR

“Re-Joining MyHeritage.com”

★★★★★

written by Welch48 on 26/03/2018

I was thinking of re-joining MyHeritage (MH) after having been on Ancestry.com. Needless to say, Ancestry was quite a bit more expensive to boot. Now this isn't to say that Ancestry didn't have some good points, they did, but it seemed clear that MH was just more user friendly, period, after comparing MH with Ancestry. So, I called MyHeritage today to get some information on how to transfer 2 family trees originally started on MH and nearly completed on Ancestry, as I still had 2 separate accounts on MH. It appeared that it would be complicated to do. My husband and I were connected to a man, and he couldn’t have been more helpful if he had tried. He was just plain nice, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Originally, he suggested that we contact Customer Service, but then checking our two accounts he saw that it would be easy enough to do right on line as we had 2 computers running at the same time and we could do it very quickly. So, we followed his instructions, and wallah as they say, we exported and imported the necessary ged.com files and into one account and deleted the other, all in a matter of minutes. Then after talking to him about what plans were available, he convinced us that for my needs, the best option would be to get the Complete plan which includes the data subscription which would allow me to get records and data that I yet do not have. MyHeritage was nice enough to give me a discount if I return. With Breck’s assistance, the choice was obvious, and I rejoined today. It was kind like “old home week”. Remembering some of the nicer things about MH, made me glad that I came back. One of the things especially are are all the options when it comes to printing your tree. There is no comparison. MH IS THE PLACE! So, to the person I dealt with and MH, thank you for being there.

“Very Helpful customer support”

★★★★★

written by 356Bowers on 26/03/2018

I had a very informative phone visit with a customer support rep who was very helpful and answered questions to my satisfaction. I am quite pleased with the results of my DNA testing and it more or less reinforced what I already knew of my background, but I received even more detailed information and that was exciting! My experience thus far has been a positive one.

“My experience with MyHeritage”

★★★★★

written by WillyBubbles on 25/03/2018

Thank you so much. It is so easy to make a mistake on the internet. I am so pleased that some website owners are willing to take that into account. When I do decide to trace my ancestry, I will contact you. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 24, 2018, at 1:40 PM, MyHeritage Support  Dear, Thank you for contacting us. Bill, I can see from our end that there was a purchase attempt for an annual data subscription. But the payment is currently listed as "pending", it has not gone through. No subscriptions are active and you should not be charged so there is no need for any action at this point. I hope this clarified things for you, thanks again for reaching out! Best regards, MyHeritage Support team

“Cordial, knowledgeable and took the time to explain”

★★★★★

written by Nina961 on 25/03/2018

We have called three times since we began using the results of MyHeritage DNA. The Personnel are extremely helpful and very respectful. The information can be overwhelming but they take the time to explain what we were having problems understanding. The individuals we spoke with were easily understood and pleasant. It was a pleasure speaking with them. If we had to choose one thing, it would be the bit of a wait to speak to someone but after speaking to someone, it was worth the wait.

“ A Great Experience ”

★★★★★

written by MaryShowalter on 25/03/2018

The Help Support Person that helped me, was very knowledgeable. He answered every question I asked. I never felt rushed he took his time explaining in detail things I didn’t quite understand about how to determine how some of my DNA such as West Asia, and Ashkanazi Jewish would be in my DNA. I apologized I took up so much time, He said that’s no problem I’ll take whatever time to make sure everything was answered. It may not have been in those exact words but I felt good about what he was telling me. Thank you My Heritage I hope someone tells him how pleased I was

“I found the site quite good considering the little...”

★★★★☆

written by Zachery271 on 25/03/2018

I found the site quite good considering the little personal information that I had. Therefore I need to go into more personal sstuff to give the site more to go on and give me further details. What I thought was very good was the 'stars' giving you the best results in your search which saved you lookng at hundreds of names. I would certainly use 'Heritage' again for future reserch

“connecting my DNA to my My Heritage tree”

★★★★★

written by Osvaldo339 on 25/03/2018

I contacted My Heritage by phone to help connect my DNA results to my tree on My Heritage. I liked the feature which told me my place in line. Although I solved the problem while waiting for my turn, I appreciated confirming that I had solved the problem. My other questions were answered efficiently, but thoroughly. Thank you.

Hi, there are several DNA testing companies and I’m not an expert by any means. If it was me, I’d take a home test with Ancestry.com. Then I’d upload the results (all very simple and instructions are included on the site) to GedMatch. I’d look at the results of the DNA test and start plotting out a family tree within Ancestry or a similar tree building site with what you know and what you can work out based on the dna results. Be cautious, some people don’t want to be discovered or share information so it can be time consuming and frustrating. Join a local Genealogy group too either in person or online as they will be able to help you. Best of luck.

Most individuals I know that have done DNA testing have received colorful pie charts and all kinds of geological graphs in the mail once their heritage was determined. why did I just receive a skimpy little e-mail from my heritage?  it was and is quite disappointing

as long as you identify the person in question you can get the date of death, if entered,

If you are able to identify the person only by its name and if the date of death is provided and public, you can find it.
