1. Selection of Contacts for a particular event eg. birthday party / wedding list
2. can we export selected contacts in excel, and define the fields like address1, address2, city, state, pin code, seperately in excel format for mailing purpose
I downloaded the Family Tree Builder......and of course I gave even more $$ so I could have what I thought would be benifits, like looking at "record matches" nope, click it & Im told I need to get a subscription for the "data" WHAT?! I paid over $100 and I am so sorry I did. I wish I had read some of the post first. I find the site hard to use because it seems everything is duplicating, like trees, projects etc....I have a tree on Ancestry, but didnt renew due to $$ issues....but I was sucked into this one because of the fee.......what an idiot I am.
The same thing has happened to me, I have just upgraded from free version to Premium only to find they want more money to access records. Like you I was sucked in by the discounts, now I have got this for 2 years. It is a pretty good scam when you think about it, charging for accessing public records
You get what you pay for! This site is good if you want free family tree software and basic service. Every other geneology site requires you PAY for copies of certificates which My Heritage does not even give you the choice of doing. Ancestry.com might be expensive but they are far better.
Yes, it is very popular fee model in iT world today - basic version with huge limitation for free, less limited version for $$, but the most interesting item for any service provider today is extra paying for the data. Frankly,in my opinion, My Herritage is not better or worse in comparsion with lot of other competitors. We can accept it or we can continue with ignoring of these data offers.
yes you are ( whatever you decscribed yourself as) - and yes your are correvt- sucked in.
Yes you are correct - should have read the old posts on the forum FIST.
Yes you have done your dollars-
BUT- unlike some who take around a year to come to the smae conclusion- you have identified the issues quickly.
So- why not revist Ancestry- give us a users view to Ancestry, give us a comparison,
In short tell me why I should not disappear from MH and join Ancestry.
You are not alone- trust me ther are some verry pissed off users of MH, and a equal number of dropouts- that is those that put their stuff on the system- and vanish, so if its Wrong there is NO WAY to fix it. None whatsoever.
Be careful with MH- and be quick as this post will be deleted. (by the "watchers of comments negative".
Hi, I guess I have the best of both worlds; I use MyHeritage and my wife has a subscription to ancestry.com
Which she is very happy with.
I find MH great for finding family members and expanding my tree with SmartMatching, though it takes a huge amount of time. I have tried (without taking up the expensive subscription) to find family details on the data-finding system, whatever it is called, and found it totally useless. I live in Australia, most of my family history is in England, Ireland, Australia, Germany and Switzerland. Even though I tried to tell the system to exclude United States data, I got heaps of that and very little else. Probably very good for US people and I am hopeful that one day the system will be useful for those in The Rest of the World.
I have not yet used my option to look in ancestry.com but expect soon I will, for cases that are puzzling in my MyHeritage tree; discrepancies like parents being too young to give birth...
I find MH excellent value for my Premium Plus subscription but would not pay for the data finding system.
Help when using Research and click to open a persons researched information or Record Match I get this "Oops, an error occurred", ever other time so I can't see the information
Has anyone solved the issue of multiple marriages yet?
My man Bob had three marriages.
1st he was widowed
2nd he was divorced
3rd she died.
I can load his three marriages but only the one I choose will showup in a family tree, the other two plus their children stay hidden.
Is it possible to show all three marriages and offspring consecutively?
Interesting also only the first partners name is listed in the people list for the tree. The others don't exist. Am I doing something wrong or is this part of poor programming?
I am tired of trying to contact MyHeritage through all different forms e.g. email, Facebook, this site, etc. When I look through the forums there seems to be a lot of people who get their problems fixed within hours or a day or two. Why can't I get a reply via email???? I got the generic love-in email "as a premium customer your email will be dealt with as a matter of urgency" and nothing since !!!!!!!! MyHeritage was quite happy to take hundreds of dollars up front, and for what.....a product that does not work, and then ignore all requests for help. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. I guess I will just have to write off this money and take it as a lesson learnt that MyHeritage is just another one of those overseas companies that cons money out of hardworking decent people
You Sir are just another- taken in by the swindle. Good Luck - but take a tip- BADGER them and keep badgering-
