      Sorry Linda, the system put a comment that was meant for someone else under yours. 😉 That’s great to hear, Linda! Even with a paid subscription, it’s always exciting to discover new tools. Glad you found it useful!

    Amazing, I had no idea that MyHeritage had so many free features. I can’t wait to try and fix a couple of photos that have been damages through time. Thank you for all of the great information.

    Great overview of MyHeritage. While following along on the app, I found a connection of a cousin that wasn’t listed on another paid website. It was a DNA match that kept showing up on another side, but I didn’t know the connection until I looked on M Heritage. On your website, they had listed their father which was the missing piece I needed so I knew how they were connected/related.
