How do I associate myself with my tree?

On MyHeritage family sites, we calculate the relationship between a person who is viewing the site and other site members and family members in the tree.
​
But in order to identify the relationship correctly, the site member must be associated with the correct individual in the family tree.​​​​​​​​​​​​


​

We recommend associating all site members with the family tree so that we can understand their relationships with other individuals in the tree and display them correctly.
​​​​​​​​​​​​

In order to associate yourself with a specific tree, please do the following:
​
1. Log in to MyHeritage.
​​​​​​​​​​​​

2. Click on your name in the upper-right corner of the screen and select ‘My Sites’.


​


​

3. Choose the relevant Family Site from the list and click on it.
​​​​​​​​​​​​

4. Move your mouse over the ‘Home’ tab and click on ‘Site Members’.


​


​

5. Next to your name you will see the empty field where you should enter a name to find the corresponding person in the tree.
​​​​​​​​​​​​

NOTE: If you have already been associated with another tree, and you would like to correct the association to a different tree, click on the ‘More’ link on the right side and select ‘Fix relationship’.

Then you will see the empty field next to your name.


​


​

6. Start typing the name as it appears in the tree, in the empty field.


​

7. Select the correct variant from the pop-up that appears.
​​​​​​​​​​​​

8. Click ‘Apply’.


​

NOTE:

If you have more than one family tree, you can only associate yourself with one of them.
