I wonder if anyone could advise me on how to delete incorrect Smart Matches. Its a fantastic tool which has already put me in touch with a couple of distant relatives but the majority of the Smart Matches are nonsense and I am sick of trawling through them.
I'm sure it is a distinctive product because of it usefulness, and it will became indispensable in any genealogy program!
I have now over 1300 people in my family tree with the help of cousins and cousins of my cousins. This is great, but of course many of this cousins (and other I don't know) create their own trees. This has the potential to create a huge amount of (useless?) duplicates.
It would be great if we could merge/link trees, increasing enormously the amount of family links, saving a lot of effort and a lot of space on disk (somewhere). For a start, a simple link to another tree would be good, as an option following the smart match.
Here at MyHeritage, we have a few linking features:
When smart matching is processed on your tree, and your family tree and another tree are connected, both the owners are informed, and benefit from the opportunity to collaborate and learn from each other. Merging the information gained from a Smart Match is a Premium feature.
If you would like to actually merge two trees together you can do that as well, please see here:
Something like that would be nice, but there would still have to be a way of getting permission from each tree administrator in order to access their tree. Due to the privacy constraints, it just doesn't seem possible.
Anyone that has an account with MyHeritage.com is a member of MyHeritage.com. They can create their own site (and become site manager of that site), or they can become a member in another family site, belonging to someone else. To become a member of another family site, they can either be invited by the site manager. When this happens, they automatically become a member of the site. To see how to invite members to a site, please see:
it seems I have a problem that is not too uncommon - I received an eMail about several Smart Matches, but if I look at the SM page, it is empty .... I am lost and dont know what to do. Does anybody have an idea? BTW - my membership was transferred from Verwandt.de to MyHertigae ...
I just wanted to say that the Smart Matching feature is pretty awesome. It's a really helpful, cool feature, and it must have been a lot of work to develop. I saw that most of the comments in the forum were complaining about how long the matching takes or other details. It's human nature to be dissatisfied, but as an I.T guy, I know how much it sucks that no one says, "Thanks, that's awesome." Everything can always be better, but Smart Matching is showing me stuff about my ancestors I never would have learned, and it's doing it quickly, accurately, and basically free to me. Thanks, it's awesome. Keep up the good work.
My only comment: the Smart matching pages don't really mention that merging and removing smart matches is a premium feature. I didn't find that out until coming to the forum. Merging smart matches is a really attractive feature to me, and I may well end up joining for it. You should put a link about that on the Smart Match pages. :)

I started a tree and on a couple of occasions once I entered the person's name, a Smart Match indicator appeared on that name. I went to check on that data and then when I returned to my tree the Smart Match indicator was gone and I haven't been able to find them again. This happened more than once. I read on the site that Smart Matches can take up to 48 hours to be updated, but i've gotten nothing since the original indication.
I know a couple of people in my tree are on other tress and I'd really like to gather that information.
The reason you see the Smart Match indicator but when you go to check the matches is due to a lag in processing Smart Matches.
What happens is that when you type the information into your tree, we check to see if there are matches "ad-hoc" or "on the fly". If there is a match, the green icon appears to indicate we've found a preliminary match.
The actual matches usually take a few days to be processed, so if you go to check your matches right away you won't see any, but ideally you should get matches within 72 hours. (However, due to some improvements, currently there is a much longer wait time.)
Normally when you return to your tree you should still see the green icon indicating that you have a match - even if the actual match hasn't yet appeared on your matches page.
The reason you no longer see the green icon is because the code that runs the "ad-hoc" search doesn't yet know how to search names if they aren't being typed in. This means that when you come back to your tree the "ad-hoc" code runs on your tree looking for names like normal.
BUT It doesn't "see" the matches you typed previously because you aren't typing the name anymore. Due to this fact it doesn't "see" those matches and won't display the green icon.
This is a limitation that we're working to fix right now.
I hope this makes sense. Let me know if I can offer a better explanation.
Last Sunday, May 23, I added several people to my family tree online. 3 Smart Matches showed up and I sent a message to the host of one of them. I haven't heard back from that person, and the Smart Match symbol has not shown up again. Why not?
