Possible MyHeritage offer
« on: Wednesday 02 October 24 17:51 BST (UK) »
I don't know if this offer was purely for me, but I thought I'd publish it.

"Taken a DNA test with another service?
We have great news — for a limited time only, you can upload your DNA data to MyHeritage and enjoy all DNA features for free, forever! We support DNA data files from Ancestry, FamilyTreeDNA (Family Finder), and 23andMe.

For each NEW* DNA data file that you upload this week, you’ll receive free access to all advanced DNA features including the Ethnicity Estimate and Genetic Groups, DNA Matches, and all tools to analyze your relationship to your matches, saving you the usual £35 (VAT included) unlock fee per file. This rare offer is valid for the next few days only, until October 6, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.

Zaph  (Don't thank me, I hate that sort of stuff)

I had this too, not sure how safe it is with privacy.

It's for everyone.

I would encourage anyone who has tested elsewhere to take advantage of the offer.

Would also like to see people attach their tree, at least a pedigree version which is all I have on MH, considering one of the other major players no longer provides a tree preview unless you have a subscription.

Seems like a good deal.

I have not had much success with MH and hence I would advise caution.

Upload your DNA from whatever source company you tested with.

Hold off uploading or creating a tree, it is this element that I had most trouble from MH.

The hints were all over the place, the trees made those on Ancestry seem world class.

They kept bombarding us with spam emails.

Only two DNA matches responded.

Viewing other trees was very problematic.

My Wife took a DNA test with MH and her results vanished after a few months and they would not restore them from their records.
