ALL YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT MY HERITAGE and MORE

Do you use My Heritage? If not, why not. My Heritage is a major genealogy site and it's family tree program, Geni, is similar to FamilySearch in that it is a family tree of everybody. 

One unappreciated feature of almost all genealogy programs are hints. FamilySearch has them, Ancestry has them, and so does my Heritage. In fact, as of this writing, I have more than 8000 record hints From My Heritage. Record hints, once verified, translate into sources, like wills, census, vital certificates, etc.

In Genealogy's Star, James Tanner has done a great job in explaining the ins and outs of My Heritage. In a recent blog, he offers some quick links to become acquainted with the program.
