MyHeritage.com & our Gedcom files
MyHeritage.com is another powerful online genealogy programme to which you can upload our GEDCOM files. By April 2023 it had over 19 billion records its OCR and AI technology can search on your behalf.Â
In addition to searching records, it will also search other trees uploaded by members (Ancestry and Findmypast do this too), who may have already completed some detailed research on common ancestors or people of interest. If you don’t know how MyHeritage works, here is a short video.
