Discover the most powerful features on MyHeritage just in time for the holidays. Learn the secrets to transforming your family’s legacy using three essential tools: LiveMemory™, an innovative AI feature that turns static photos into captivating animated video memories; MyStories, which provides weekly prompts to help you effortlessly compile your family history into a beautiful printed keepsake book; and the MyHeritage Wiki, a free, growing genealogy guide packed with expert articles and strategies to elevate your research and help you find smarter connections this year.
This engaging MyHeritage webinar, hosted by Marian Pierre-Louis, offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at three innovative tools unveiled during RootsTech 2025. Designed to help genealogists preserve, animate, and enrich their family stories, the session features presentations on MyStories, LiveMemory, and the MyHeritage Wiki. Each segment showcases how technology and storytelling are converging to create new ways to document and share family legacies—transforming traditional genealogy into an immersive, living experience.
Preserve Life Stories with MyStories
Shahar Bitton introduces MyStories, a user-friendly platform that guides individuals through writing their life stories one memory at a time. Through weekly prompts, users can document personal experiences, upload photos, and compile their responses into a professionally printed keepsake book. Designed for accessibility and ease, MyStories encourages users to capture memories now rather than “someday,” ensuring that future generations inherit not just names and dates, but the emotions and lessons behind them.
Bring Ancestors to Life with LiveMemory
Megan Nusink demonstrates LiveMemory, an AI-powered tool that transforms still photos into animated video clips, breathing life into family portraits. Using the MyHeritage mobile app, users can select images and choose from realistic or playful animations to recreate moments—like a couple’s wedding-day kiss or a grandparent’s smile. The feature provides a powerful way to reconnect with ancestors from eras before home video, offering an emotional and visually captivating addition to family archives.
Enhance Research with the MyHeritage Wiki
Maor Malul presents the MyHeritage Wiki, a collaborative, curated encyclopedia dedicated to genealogy, genetics, and family history. Contributors worldwide share expertise on surname origins, record types, research strategies by country, and more. From understanding naming conventions to locating regional archives, the Wiki empowers genealogists of all skill levels to deepen their research and even contribute their own knowledge to the growing community.
Discover how these MyHeritage innovations can enrich your own research journey—whether by preserving your memories, animating your ancestors, or expanding your genealogical knowledge. Viewing the full webinar provides step-by-step demonstrations and inspiring examples you won’t want to miss.
To continue exploring, genealogists are encouraged to review the additional resources listed in the accompanying syllabus—an invaluable guide for learning, creating, and connecting through the evolving world of digital family history.
