What is a collection?

A collection is a group of records in the MyHeritage Search Engine. For example, "1940 United States Federal Census" is a collection, "MyHeritage family trees" is another collection, as well as "Geni family trees" and "FamilySearch family trees".


A collection is different from a category. An example of a category is “Birth, Marriage and Death” records.



Inside the category “Birth, Marriage and Death” records you might find several collections such as England Births and Christenings or Texas Marriages and Divorces.



The ‘MyHeritage’ collections include MyHeritage family sites, MyHeritage members, MyHeritage family trees, and MyHeritage photos.
