MyHeritagefor Android

MyHeritage is a free Android app that lets you build and manage your family tree. Similar to AncestryDNA, you can search for your bloodline following your family’s history online and through media. It also has an additional feature for animating old photos of your ancestors.

What is MyHeritage app?

This family tree application lets you explore your ancestral roots, helping you find relatives you didn’t know you had. There’s an online community where you can discuss your progress, and where you can potentially find some family members among them. The Smart Matches technology is unique for MyHeritage, using a powerful algorithm for helping you learn more about your genealogy.

How do I find out my heritage online for free?

Tracing your family tree with MyHeritage is entirely free, with a database of over 1,400 genealogical records. The interface is easy to use, and you’ll receive results as long as you have accurate information about your immediate information. Of course, the results can prove falsely with misinformed data.

How good is MyHeritage?

Many people praise MyHeritage for its functionality and features. Besides searching online records, it also cross-examines listings for your chromosomes and autosomal DNA matches (if you have it available). If there's someone in your family that uses the app, it can link to your family tree.

The MyHeritage Deep Nostalgia feature

One of the latest features to reach the app is Deep Nostalgia. While you can download it separately, it’s also included in the original MyHeritage program. It lets you capture old photos of your ancestors and animate their faces with a tap on the screen.

Our take

MyHeritage is a convenient tool to research your family bloodline. While the tools may be limited, there’s a vast community behind it to offer additional support. You can also play with some fun animations and special effects.

Should you download it?

Yes, especially if you’re interested to find relatives and connect with family you didn’t know you had.
