Introducing the MyHeritage Knowledge Base

Introducing the MyHeritage Knowledge Base

We’re thrilled to introduce the MyHeritage Knowledge Base: a new online resource center for enhancing your understanding of MyHeritage’s tools, products and services, and to help you make the most of your family history research. 

At MyHeritage, we’re always striving to improve the user experience and to make genealogy research easy and intuitive. The MyHeritage Knowledge Base takes you step-by-step through the different MyHeritage features, providing you with a seamless understanding of the different tools available as you explore your family history on MyHeritage. It includes a wealth of educational materials that will help you learn about every facet of MyHeritage: articles, how-to videos, and webinars covering a wide variety of topics, including plenty of tips for everyone from beginner family history enthusiasts to seasoned genealogists.

The MyHeritage Knowledge Base is currently available in English, German, Dutch, French, Swedish, and Norwegian, and we will be adding new languages in the future. It is open to everyone and is free of charge. We will be adding new content to the site on a regular basis, so if there’s anything that you’d like to learn about, just let us know!
