In this view, you can see the ancestors of a person.
My Heritage originally offered only a "family view." If you clicked on a person, you saw one line of ancestors and could not click back to the original person. This made navigating a tree frustrating.
I discussed this issue three years ago.
My Heritage became an important factor in genealogy research when the DNA testing site 23andMe enabled customers to link to My Heritage to display family trees.
My Heritage is free to sign up, but a subscription charge must be paid to add larger trees and access records.
My Heritage offers its own autosomal DNA testing services. The price for a kit is in line with the other testing companies. DNA tested at My Heritage is compatible to upload to GedMatch.
If you tested your DNA elsewhere, you can upload the file for free to My Heritage for an ethnicity estimate and family matches. No subscription is required to access this information.
I have found many more matches from United Kingdom at My Heritage as compared to the other testing companies.
In the examples below, the tester's parents were from Ireland. At other testing sites, he has many distant matches. At My Heritage, he has several close matches.
This looks like a great view. Ancestry.com lets you look at a view like this but Its hard to get all of it to fit on one screen sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYes, Brian, Ancestry.com has offered the pedigree view for years.
DeleteI just purchased a subscription for MyHeritage (on sale) and will publish my experiences.
