About this webinar

When you begin a family tree on the MyHeritage.com website, you may discover that the website has an app called the Consistency Checker that scans your family tree and identifies mistakes and inconsistencies in your data, so you can make the necessary changes in your tree, thereby improving its overall quality and accuracy. Another helpful app is the MyHeritage Timeline. This app allows you to view your family tree as a timeline. Using this feature, you can visualize how the story of your family unfolded over time and place your ancestors in the context of the period in which they lived. Come and learn about how these two tools can work together to vastly improve the accuracy of your family tree.
