My input on this thread...I am not impressed with MyHeritage's records. >From what I can tell, they are all copies of what is available elsewhere. However, I have found more of my Scandinavian family in trees on MyHeritage than in other places, including pictures and sources...all new information that someone in Norway posted regarding their family.
Also, I like on MyHeritage that even when the records or trees that are 'Smart' matches show up, I can mark them as a match, but NOT add any information from the record or tree. FamilySearch, of course, has only one tree, and you have to look in the Duplicate finder to find duplicates. Ancestry gives me hints for individuals in matching trees, but I can't do anything with them, so I 'Ignore' them and leave them sitting in the 'Ignored Hints' folder, this is a problem for me, because some of the trees that I 'Ignore' are about my same people, but others are not and Ancestry has no way to distinguish between the two. MyHeritage does, because you can mark them as matches, but not add any information from them. Sorry, a little convoluted, but I hope you can understand my meaning. As for a coordinated list of all the records available at each site....making a chart sounds good, but with all the sites continually adding more records, that's not a task that would be finished any time soon. And whoever it was that mentioned most of their research was in Rochester, NY, Wow! You are SO lucky! Mine is literally all over the world. I've learned about a whole lot of different records because of it! <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Thu, Sep 7, 2017 at 7:01 AM, Linda Hodges <lindahodg...@gmail.com> wrote: > If all you are seeing is tree info, you have the hint settings incorrect. > Switch the check boxes for my heritage, or if you want to see both sets of > hints check both boxes. > > On Sep 6, 2017 6:34 PM, "Jack Earnshaw" <j...@jearnshaw.me.uk> wrote: > >> The only hits I get from My Heritage are from people's trees that have >> copied the data from my web site or GenesReunited. >> >> Jack >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com] On >> Behalf Of Sherry >> Sent: 05 September 2017 16:58 >> To: Legacy User Group <legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com> >> Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Is MyHeritage Worth It? >> >> In a test for one family member, I had hints for the census, FamilySearch >> Family Tree (I can get those through FS) and Geni World Family Tree, as >> well >> as MyHeritage Family Trees for another member. >> The FamilySearch Family Trees were pretty common hits. >> >> Not getting any record hits, although the site is supposed to have actual >> records. >> >> Sherry >> >> >> On Tue, Sep 5, 2017 at 6:44 AM, Philip Solida <psol...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > Maybe they do... but are they different, or just a rehash of Ancestry >> > site records?
