Build a Better Family Tree with MyHeritage

23andMe have announced that they are now integrated with MyHeritage to provide a new family tree tool to help you discover, preserve and share your family history.

MyHeritage, the award-winning family tree company, enables you to do anything from build a basic family tree to connect to a database of 5.7 billion historical records, so you may discover more about your ancestors’ history in seconds.

As of May 1, 2015, the current 23andMe family tree tool will no longer be available. You will be able to access the MyHeritage family tree from within the 23andMe experience and share your tree with other 23andMe users on an ongoing basis.

You can start a new family tree on MyHeritage, or transfer your existing 23andMe family tree data - either way, it’s free.*

You can upgrade from the free service offered to 23andMe customers by purchasing a MyHeritage subscription at a discount of more than 50%. MyHeritage subscription plans give you access to their full suite of family discovery and research tools. Learn more at MyHeritage here.

*Building or importing a family tree to the MyHeritage website or mobile app is free. You can use the MyHeritage website to upload family photos to your tree, view Smart Matches™ from other peoples' trees and find Record Matches from free historical records. Editing your online tree on MyHeritage is free up to 250 nodes (that's up to 250 ancestors or relatives on your tree).

MyHeritage has extended an exclusive free offer to 23andMe customers to build a tree with unlimited nodes for 6 months after a customer connects to MyHeritage through 23andMe. After the 6 month period, users will either need to sign up for one of the MyHeritage paid subscription plans or continue with free access and a smaller tree (<250 nodes). Paid subscriptions provide access to all historical records, confirming or rejecting matches, contacting other MyHeritage members and growing your tree beyond 250 nodes.
