MyHeritage.com is one of the world’s major family tree and genealogy websites, ranking #3 after Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org*. In terms of family trees, MyHeritage is more like Ancestry than FamilySearch in that users create separate family trees, unlike FamilySearch Family Tree, whose goal is to create a single collaborative family tree. As of 2021, there are 81 million family trees with 4.7 billion profiles at MyHeritage, but but there’s a lot of duplication among those profiles. MyHeritage also has 15.7 billion “historical” records of varying quality and 5.2 million people in their DNA database. Having already reviewed the other major genealogy websites Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.org Family Tree, Geni.com, and WikiTree.com, I thought it was time to review MyHeritage.
