MyHeritage Reviews

MyHeritage is a world leader in discovering family history. The platform helps users trace their roots and identify familial relationships through a DNA test. A user obtains a MyHeritage DNA test kit, takes a cheek swab, mails the sample to the MyHeritage lab, and gets the results in four to six weeks.

The platform then matches the user's DNA with the billions of DNA records in the MyHeritage database. In addition, MyHeritage algorithms allow for calculating the user's ethnicity and pinpointing possible origins and ancestors.

Additionally, MyHeritage serves as a family tree platform that allows users to generate family trees based on MyHeritage records collected worldwide. With MyHeritage, you can create stunning family trees while finding long-lost relatives or family members you have never met.

MyHeritage offers a free template that you can use to create your family tree. You can add as many people and information as you want to the family tree. You can even add photos of your family members.

Step 1: Create a free MyHeritage account and log in.

Step 2: Click the Family Tree tab on the top of the page.

Step 3: Enter your details and those of your family members.

Step 4: You will get a prompt if MyHeritage detects a match between the details you entered and the records in its database. The system will show these matches to let you check which ones are probable relatives.

Step 5: The platform automatically lays out and organizes the information you provide. You can switch between the Family and Pedigree Views to see your family's information.

Step 6: You can add up to 250 relatives in the free version. You will need a paid subscription to add an unlimited number of relatives to your tree.

Click Home>Invite Family. You can manually invite family members by entering their names and email addresses on the fields provided. You can also send invites to chosen relatives on your list to send them the link to your tree.

MyHeritage offers a 14-day free trial for accessing the records database and building your family tree. MyHeritage can even update your tree for free with records of extended family members as soon as the system identifies a match. Additionally, you can explore the MyHeritage database for free, with the caveat that you pay a fee for accessing specified information.

If you wish to continue using MyHeritage services after the free trial, you must upgrade to a paid plan. MyHeritage even offers a 50% discount for the first year and allows you to cancel your subscription anytime, no questions asked.
