All the main features have to be paid for through subscription but it is cheaper to use Ancestry in my experience. The support is poor (really poor) and the reason I post anonymously is that MyHeritage actively removes any criticism of the product or their service from the member forums and doesn't like negative reviews being published online. I'm not renewing my subscription and will be working with another programme which is proving to be everything and more that I need and it is free.....GRAMPS. It's a long job re doing all the media transfers but the programme is constantly updated and I find it gives me all the features and control I need. I don't want smartmatching rubbish and record searching. I do my research the old fashioned way....checking archives, online databases and BMD sources...give Gramps a try.You will be pleasantly surprised I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-92069051697145315912014-12-21T14:50:00.836-07:002014-12-21T14:50:00.836-07:00If you KNOW who the CEO is and have a contact for ...If you KNOW who the CEO is and have a contact for him-- get onto it.

As I became more experienced I decided to start a second tree based on a long held tradition that the family had a direct lineage to an English family. I was able to create the English family tree from online sources. I then made the tree available on My Heritage in the hope that I would get Smart Matches which would prove the connection. I have got matches that have established an indirect line to the English family and I am now satisfied that there is no direct connection. <br /><br />My main reason for writing this comment is to find out if other subscribers have or did have the problem I encounter.<br /><br />My problem is:<br />The English family have a lineage back to the early 1400's and I now get Smart Matches which show that current members of my family are classified as children of the English family that lived in the 1500's. The information is so inaccurate that in one case 2 female members of the English family are classified as the mother and FATHER of my family.<br /><br />I sent details to MY heritage through their help connection last July and while I received an acknowledgement which stated they had a 'bug' which they were working on, I have not had a resolution so far.<br /><br />In January 2014 I again sent information but still have to receive a reply.<br /><br />I now believe that I should write direct to the Chief Executive to have my problem resolved but before I do I would like to know if other members have seen or heard of this problem?<br /><br />Richard LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-46165155838206577552013-12-16T07:47:58.503-07:002013-12-16T07:47:58.503-07:00Family Tree Builder 6.0 did allow photos in the fa...Family Tree Builder 6.0 did allow photos in the family reports, while Family Tree Builder 7.0 freeware doesn't allow photos in family reports anymore, which I feel, is a serious drawback.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-87248862012423519182013-11-02T03:07:25.414-07:002013-11-02T03:07:25.414-07:00Hi - I also use the program on Windows 8.

The program is more unstable (crash every now and then) and after updating to Windows 8.1 - the formatting of text in the Notes section has stopped working (get error message and text is displayed unformatted). Do you have similar experiences?<br /><br />MartinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
