MyHeritage is the leading global destination for discovering, preserving and sharing family history. Our platform and DNA kits make it easy for anyone, anywhere to embark on a meaningful journey into their past and treasure their family stories fo
Shauna’s expertise and knowledge were clearly portrayed to everyone today. I learned several things I was previously ignorant of, not least how to manoeuvre around the My Heritage site to obtain the best of the I formation contained on the site, thus extending my tree both upwards and outwards.
I learned or was reminded of so many features of My Heritage that I need to go back and review. I have never transferred my entire tree from Ancestry…but can’t wait to complete that transfer project now. I was especially impressed with the charts she could generate.
I found it very interesting. It introduced many new features. As a data “nut” I love the idea of checking for inconsistencies and will definitely use that feature. I will definitely listen to this webinar again and get 100% out of it. Well done Shauna. Many thanks Geoff
Excellent. I learnt a lot and will look at the replay. I also really liked the framed Family Tree on the wall behind Geoff and would like to know how to do one for myself from my tree.

Vital registration (death certificates) are just one of the record types that can be used. By looking at the range of documents that can give death information we can put our ancestor’s death and often their life into context.
