I beleive that there is a mistaken assumption by My Heritage that DNA cannot be collected in various states because it is prohibited. A cursory examination of this type of restriction show that this is appllicable in criminal cases.
My Heritage when I called them said that it was prohibited in Alaska and I cannot have my DNA analyzed since it is prohibited in my country (it ws explained that country means stete). I changed my state of residence to Maine where I am now residing and it still will not allow me to have anything to do with DNA.
I tried to report this but they required a prtscrn sample which I could not for some reason. Since I could not provide it, I wasn't allowed to be involved with DNA.
I have had DNA analysis done with Ancestry, FamilyTree DNA and 23 andme. They had no objections to my being included in their DNA projeccts.
The above page has incomplete family information. They have only a partial household listed. The family is continued on the next page of the census , and they didn't list the rest of the household on the above page
I have been searching for either the descendants or ancestors of Maurice or Morris Maroney and Kathleen O Brien MAroney of Ireland for many months to no avail. They lived in either County Limerick or County Clare, but I have no address. Their son, Edward Maroney, Sr, came to America in the late 1800's at the age of 17 with an aunt and uncle whse last name was O'Conner. I do not have a first name, though. We know only that Edward Maroney had siblings whose names might have been MAry, James and Michael. I am the great granddaughter of Edward and have been named Kathleen after my great great grandmother. I will be traveling to Ireland his fall and woud like to make contact with my distant cousins , if they do exist. If nt, I would like to find out what happened to them.
Bonsoir, je viens vers vous car je viens de voir sur l'app (puis sur le pc) que l'on savait switcher entre deux versions. Toute embalée j'ouvre les nouveaux résultats, et je vois qu'ils sont completements différents de ce que j'avais avec la première version. Je ne comprends pas comment mon adn peux passer de 4% d'anglais à 68 % ... Je suis perdue. Je me demande si tout ça est bien sérieux? Ou si il y a eu erreur. Bref j'attends des réponses. Merci d'avance
Hi, i just saw that i could change the settings to see the results of the new version the 0.95. And... my results are completly different... I was 38 % scandinavian 27 % italian 30 european west and 4%british and irish, and now im 73% british/irish and 28 % east european? I dont understand at all how it could be so different, what should i believe? Thanks to give me answers about that.
This is a VERY SERIOUS (JUST ANOTHER REMOVAL OF A NECESSARY AND LONG-TIME OPTION TO ADD AND READ PDF DOCUMENTS) as I have 11 sites with hundreds of PDF documents I wanted to preserve for other family to see, BUT THEY ARE NO LONGER READABLE and I cannot upload PDF documents anymore.
I don't know when this changed, but this is the final, FINAL STRAW. I will be warning ALL of my 11 site members AND especially notifying Eastman's Genealogy Newsletter who has been advertising MyHeritage Users.
I will be going back to Tribal Pages AND just posting pdf's on FAMILYSEARCH, which is FREE and has unlimited storage of documents and photos.
I cannot even find a place on MyHeritage anymore to email Support. VERY, VERY SAD.
I know also why I stopped using Legacy as it s now owned by MyHeritage. You had a good site once upon a time.
Anyone know of a Class Action Suite for this site?
Unimaginable to no longer read or upload PDF files--WHY IS THAT?
I have been using your programme for about 4 years. It is really a perfect programme but I encountered a problem and I couldn't have corrected it yet. The problem is that one woman has married with a man in the same family with the same surname as well. When I want to show the granchildren table, this family is shown under the parents of the woman but not under the man's parents.
If you help me to correct this problem I will be very pleased.
You do not appear to have e-mail support. I wanted to send you a snapshot of an obvious phishing e-mail using myheritage but there is no place to do this so I am sending it via the forum. I know my subscription is renewed so this is a bogus e-mail
My results came back in my view as much too general in the breakdown and description of the DNA background. It shows me as part "central american" as if it were a race or nationality. for example, the majority of the people of this region are a mixture of either native indigenous peoples with spanish or portuguese or african descent.
their report shows absolutely no percentage breakdown of either of those described above. it just simply describes it at " central american" ranging from mexico to the tip of south america ?. really?. last i checked mexico is north america and south america is...oh well south ,no?.
on top, they did change the original report from 6 other ethnic groups to 3 from the first results... very confusing.
im really very disappointed... calling them is no help. you wait an eternity and then you get disconnected.
I'm confused as to the accuracy of this report. My DNA testing was
conducted by Ancestry.Com and it indicated 48% Western Europe, 21% Irish, 12% Scandinavian
and only 8% British. It was also shown to have 4% Iberian and 4%
Greek.
Your ethnicity report shows over 58% Western and Northern European and
the remainder exclusively the eastern half of England.
Why the huge disparity with the same DNA test?
Can anyone out there help me to understand this discrepancy?
I usually stay under the radar but I find this situation absolutley totally ridiculous in this day and age of Computer Technology.
Once your data base reaches 50,00 people, I and nobody else cannot delete obsolete family tree data and keep the most current one as an active current base.
Family research does not stop at 50,00 names, it is an evergrowing situation delving into the greater past of our families and their name variations.
I have e-mailed numerous requests to Raefel, to delete obsolete trees but not one single response.
Why have a cap on deleting obsolute trees, at least you are removing dead data.
I will be glad when May comes thru so that I can transfer all my current data thru to Ancestery.com
I have been told that if I (as a PremiumPlus Subscriber) send a message to someone who is NOT either a Premium OR PremiumPlys subscriber they will not receive my message. And if an "ordinary" Subscriber sends one to me I will not receive same. Is this correct?
WTF is wrong with this place. I've sent the sample in and now it's not showing as received. If I try to call in I'm always the 30th or more caller and I stay on hold for over an hour and then get disconnected when I'm the 3rd or 4th caller. If I call billing or sales they're always "out to lunch". What kind of crappy operation is this? I paid over $80 for my kit. WTF is it? Will I ever get results?
I'm disappointed and confused. My results vary greatly between the two. I could understand the estimate percentages changing a bit but to totally remove quite a few ethnicity's then adding a different one. Percentages totally flipping around first showing I'm more Spaniard and little Italian which makes sense due to being from Puerto Rico. To now more Italian to little Spaniard. I'm talking huge percent change. I don't know if I believe any of it.
firstly i wish to apologize to all, i know my tree has MANY mistakes, doubles and incorrect information . i do not know how to correcting all of it without messing it up worse, so i am afraid to touch anything. if any of you are able to correct anything please FEEL FREE TO DO SO. also for robert berube and toby freeman i have found that the information for sophie delphine lepage mt great grandmother IS NOT CORRECT. i have since found the following - she was born may 5th, 1843 in trois pistoles quebec. she died in 1906 in st. hubert, temiscouata quebec
There is no way these results are correct. My mother is 100% Icelandic and has her family tree back to the year 875. She didn't even come to this country until after she met and married my father during WWII. My results say I am: 51% Irish, Scottish, and Welsh and 32.3% Scandinavian. This is not possible.
The system coding and sampling is critically flawed, particularly on the identification of Scandinavian. Perhaps 900 years ago, the origins of Icelandic DNA may have had some Irish, Scottish or Welsh but there is no way in today's sampling that the DNA is the same. I wouldn't waste the money on this.
It has been very frustanting to get my DNA test done. Delivery time from US to Australia is over a month via DHL. My first Kit I received after a month and sent it in the next day but they have never received it. My second Kit I am still waiting since 09/06.
Following my ordeal:
01/03/2017 - Order
02/04/2017 - Sent and never received
09/06 - Another one sent by Heritage to my post but I haven't received yet.
It has been about 4 months. They cancel the first order details from my login. I would like to have that information back with status "Package Missed"
Customer service just call me regarding to get a premium account. I haven't received any apologize for the delay or my second Kit has been sent via express to speed the process after the first one failed.
Was wondering if anyone was able to offer some help or advice as I can't get through to anyone from technical or customer services.
Yesterday I was using the desktop application for the first time in weeks, when syncing with my online account it crashed and only synced part of my tree, later I realised that it had synced back to my online account reducing the number in my tree by around 700 people.
As you can imagine I'm freaking out right now, any advice would be greatly appeciated.
I uploaded my raw DNA and got my ethnicity estimate after about 1 day and a half. I became excited and asked my family members if I could upload theirs as well to compare them to Ancestry's. Their DNA came in, but no ethnicity estimate. Does it take longer if I uploaded 4 in 1 day?
So disappointed. I've spend over $400 on four different DNA tests for family and I've yet to see the kits. Moreover, when I call for customer service (within the posted hours), it literally doesn't allow you to leave a message or even speak to a live person. I truly feel as if I've been duped. Shame on me. I think my next step will be to file a complaint via the BB..
See if I have any recourse through Bank/Credit card company.
