MyHeritage

Meet MyHeritage

MyHeritage is a family history platform for building family trees, researching ancestors, and preserving photographs and stories. Users can start with relatives’ names and dates or import an existing tree as a GEDCOM file. Smart Matches suggest connections to other members’ trees, while Record Matches link people in a tree to historical documents such as census, birth, marriage, and immigration records.

Its optional DNA testing service provides ethnicity estimates and matches with genetic relatives. Photo tools can enhance blurry faces, colorize older images, repair damage, and create animated versions of family photographs. The website and mobile app support research and tree updates across devices. Access to larger trees, historical records, and advanced matching or photo features depends on the subscription; DNA kits are purchased separately.
