MyHeritage

edit

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)
