MyHeritage

MyHeritage is an Israel-based startup that has built a family-based social network for helping users create their family trees, share family photos and organize their genealogical information online. The MyHeritage system contained 340 million people profiles, provided by 32 million registered members, as of May 2009. Family trees can also be visualized and compared to one another to find overlaps. The service includes face recognition technology to tag photos automatically based on who appears in them.

Competitors include Geni , Ancestry.com and [Family-Mingle.com] (http://www.crunchbase.com/company/family-mingle)

I've recently stumbled across your website by browsing the WWW and I must admit that it the best thing I came across in years....IT'S FANTASTIC. There's one thing I cannot do...is to register as a member of your site. Please explain. Thanx...

Great site, great entrepreneur

I have recently discovered Family Tree Builder, and must say it is the best I have seen! It is far superior to the other 2 genealogy software programs I used prior to yours. Congratulations! I'm glad I found you, and will tell all my friends about it!

Wow! I love it. I'm a web designer/programmer myself, and I think you guys have done an excellent job on the site. Fantastic. Overall, it has an excellent and intuitive design. Keep up the great work! With a family as big as mine (I've already uploaded 50 families and 178 people) - it's a great way to stay on top of birthdays, wedding anniversaries and the like. And the ancillary features like recipes, comments, photo albums will are excellent as well.

I've had a look at a lot of genealogy websites, and think what you are doing here is fantastic. I hope it will grow and will be flexible like googlepages. Would love to be able to change fonts, colours - make it more personal. I love the way the family tree is shown. Well done everyone - I'm looking forward to seeing your developments.

Firstly, this website is sooo AMAZING! I'm emailing everyone to tell them of it! It takes a lot to win my praise, and by all means, you have it.
