MyHeritage allows you to build a family tree either by using its Family Tree Builder genealogy software or by importing an existing tree as a GEDCOM, a file that communicates across family history software. (Remember that you cannot create a GEDCOM directly in FamilySearch. You must first move your tree to a software program that is compatible with FamilySearch, such as Ancestral Quest, Legacy Family Tree, RootsMagic, or MacFamilyTree.) Once you have built or imported your tree, MyHeritage uses technology such as Smart Matching to automatically search through other trees to find connections and uses Record Matching to look through records for any that might contain information about people on your tree. In 2016, MyHeritage also introduced Book Matching, a unique technology that searches text in books for information about your ancestors. Once you have established your tree, you are able to invite even nonsubscribing relatives to view it and contribute content. The MyHeritage family trees are packed with features. One of these is PedigreeMap, which allows you to map the life events of your ancestors, including births, marriages, and deaths.
When viewing a map, click on any pin to see who was involved in events at that place and to see more details about the individuals. You can read more about PedigreeMap. A MyHeritage family tree also lets you upload photos and audio recordings to your tree. DNA, Research Help, and Other Tools. Besides the main features of record collections and family trees, MyHeritage also offers a significant number of other resources. The recently added DNA section gives you the option of taking a DNA test for $79 or allows you to upload previously obtained DNA results and search for matches. Also, under the Research tab, you can find information about hiring a genealogist to assist with your research.
On the, you will find articles on a wide range of topics and also find webinars, many of which are free. MyHeritage and FamilySearch Integration The newly developing integration options between MyHeritage and FamilySearch allow you to take full advantage of both programs. For example, a button recently added to MyHeritage allows you to attach sources directly from MyHeritage to your FamilySearch family tree. To use this option, you must initiate the search from within FamilySearch. Follow these steps to attach sources to your tree:.
Log in to your FamilySearch account. Locate the person on your family tree that you are interested in learning more about, and choose Person view. In the Search Records box on the right, select MyHeritage. MyHeritage will then search its massive collections of records for information about your ancestor and will display any matches.
Note: To narrow the results to a certain type of record or to exclude all the family tree matches, you can choose a category from the list on the left. Initiate a search from within your FamilySearch Account, and MyHeritage will find possible matches in its records like this 1880 U.S. Census record. For example, suppose Amanda Wilt appeared on your family tree in FamilySearch. A search for her, narrowed to include only census records, would reveal this 1880 U.S. Census record.
By clicking the match, you would see the original record. If the record does match, as this one does, you could add the source to FamilySearch. To do this, simply scroll down until you see the button on the left labeled “Attach source to FamilySearch.” Click the button, and MyHeritage will add the record to Amanda Wilt on your FamilySearch family tree. It also fills in most of the fields (as shown), including those for the source title and where the record is located. You fill in the last few fields, including “Reason this source is attached.” Then click Save, and you are done. Keep in mind that because this method is done searching for one person at a time from FamilySearch, the best way to take advantage of MyHeritage’s hints on your tree would be to import your tree as a GEDCOM and see what else the program can find for you.
