How do I get Record Matches?

Record Matching intelligently compares the 6 billion family tree profiles on MyHeritage to over 30 billion historical records on the MyHeritage historical records search engine and automatically finds matches for you.


​

If you have Record Matches, you will see a notification appear on the sidebar of the homepage in your family site alerting you that you have matches.
​
Click on the notification to enter the results page or click on the ‘Discoveries’ tab.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​


​


​

You don’t need to do anything to get Record Matches. We do the work automatically behind the scenes and notify you if matches are found.


​

Processing over more than 30 billion records to find ones relevant to your tree takes time, so please be patient if you haven’t received records yet.


​

You’ll receive an email when matches are found and you’ll see them on your family site.


​

Please note:


​

The Record Matches feature runs for free for everyone who has one or more family trees on MyHeritage.


​

Viewing the matches is free, but viewing full records and their scanned images or newspaper articles requires a Data Subscription which is the same subscription used to view records in the MyHeritage historical records search engine, – our search engine for historical records.
