Well I had my doubts with this site early on, and cancelled. Paid for the membership for the year, was frustrated to learn Premium really means (basic). As a senior, we get tired of being bambuzzled,... See more

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

Daniel was very kind

Daniel was very kind, caring and helpful. I was feeling overwhelmed and he helped to talk me through what I needed to continue my research. I appreciate it.

This site makes it very easy to confirm matches and expand your tree in minutes. However be very careful accepting the information that is provided. Here's my recent experience. I found many other member sites that married my 14 times great grandfather into the Savage Family. Wow I was thrilled as this made me a direct descendant of Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. After adding 3000 names to my tree, I then decided to recheck everything. Oh dear, it's a pity I didn't do that in the first place. I discovered that the marriage never happened!!! So now I have to delete over 2500 names individually. A particularly onerous task.

Renewal

The phone contatc was polite and efficient He did his besst to help me in spite of a rigid policy that would not allow me to cancel a subscription immediately that I became aware of an automatic renewal
To say I was notified year ago is not a satisfactory excuse
It would have been helpful to be notified of the renewal two days ahead of time .
The impression this leaves with me is that My Heritage does its best to keep taking money for subscriptions while using a bogus claim that the client had been notified....profit before service.

Sneaky

Sneaky, underhanded business practices. Second year in a row they more than doubled my subscription rate. They do not send an invoice prior. I do not recommend.

fast and efficient

The gentleman was fast and got right to the point. Took care of what I wanted and was not pushy. I was at work and didn't have time to talk and it was taken care of fast.

Representative was easy to work with

Representative was easy to work with, understood my issue, and quickly offered several solutions. I was able to obtain an offer that proved an advantage to my subscription. He was patient, clear, and sympathetic to my situation. I couldn't be happier with the results, and this agent is an excellent representative of your compay. You are lucky to have him and I feel lucky he was assigned to my case. Thank you!

He is a terrific ambassador for My Heritage.My family has only been in the United States for less than a century. I find the OMNI product to be a remarkable tool in discovering my European roots. Sincere, deep thanks to Josh and to My Heritage
