The map section of Family tree Builder does not work and when I followed all their advice still does not work, part of the advice was to upgrade the program to the latest version, it still did not work, and resulted in all my note sections of the program being deleted, this seems to hapen when syncing to the online tree at their site. Their program is full of bugs.

I still have not received help since the last request to update program which I advised them did not work. Support very slow at returning e-mail.
I will be looking at moving to another site where hopefully their program works as requied.

Mixed Review
December 10, 2025

My experience with the customer service rep was outstanding. He reviewed some benefits and offers with me. He said he would follow up on why my DNA sample had not been received. He would email me his contact information. Finally, he was going to send me a link to make my daughter a co-manager on my account.
I have not received any of these items but quickly got emails on what he got me to buy.

Great resource
December 10, 2025

It has been good. I have given a lot of the DNA kits to family and friends who have been desperate for heritage information. I've spent some time on most heritage sites and feel that MyHeritage will be the leader in Australia. I encourage people to use it.

It's great, but...
December 10, 2025

I first tried the free version and immediately liked the app. However, I had different expectations for the graphical representation of my large family tree, actually four of them. Of the available family tree templates and formats, none met my expectations. Therefore, I had to create a graphic file in parallel in another program, which allowed me to create a real tree – the roots at the bottom, the crown at the top, and the fresh leaves representing the youngest generation. Thanks to this app's functionality, I was able to access deeper personal resources, and this made me very happy with it.
Grom XI-2024 to XII-2025.

I have been turned off by other sites as they are sales driven not accuracy driven. As a result, I believe that I am working with a more professional organization that is focused on genealogical best practices.

It is very frustrating having to get a login in password each time one logs in. Surely once verified all should be ok unless a different computer is used.

I got an unsolicited call so was wary, however, the sales operator was friendly and polite and capable of answering all my questions to my satisfaction. I did wind up buying an additional package!

Acercarme a mis raíces
December 10, 2025

Hace mas de 30 años que estoy en la busqueda de mis abuelos paternos.Mi padre fue criado por un tutor.

Recorri muchos lugares, hable con personas que me dieron nombres y apellidos que guardé por años en un cuaderno, sin darle mas importancia que la de un relato de vecindario.
Decidí hacerme el tes en FamilytreeDNA y ahi comenzé a bucear en el mundo científico
Un año depués me suscribí a MyHeritage y ahi mi sorpresa, aquellos apellidos que había guardado por 30 años en mi cuaderno aparecieron en los arboles y en las coincidencias. Eureka!, Una veredadera sorpresa, aquella historia que me habían contado estaba plasmada en varios arboles y en mis coincidencias.

Creo estar a un paso de decir con certeza estos son mis abuelos, aunque se que debo esperar que alguien mas cercano para cerrar esta busqueda que parecía nunca llegar a su fin. Dios y MyHeritage me ayude a que alguien un poquito mas cercano aparezca vinculandosé. Le estoy muy agradecia a la plataforma porque se que voy a poder cerrar historia aunque ya mis abuelos no estén!
Puedo decir que es super recomendable MyHeritage para quienes estan tras las huellas de sus antepasados, cualquiera sea el motivo.

Printing from OldNews
December 10, 2025

I like to print off articles from Old News but I seem to only print the whole page and not clip out the individual article of interest. I would like more printing options to include choosing just the article of interest and the newspaper citation. Thank you

I had some questions, which were answered eloquently. He helped me arrive at what I needed to know, and I learned more about the organization and the process by which you operate.

Excellent
December 10, 2025

MyHeritage seems to continually improve their product. I am amazed at how rapidly they find connections with other extended family (descendants) from ancestors. Have met and enjoyed sharing stories with cousins that I've never met. Thank you.
