Thanks for the extensive review of the s...Hi Randy,<br />Thanks for the extensive review of the service. I've been on the fence about paying for the extra search option on MyHeritage. I've been a member for a long time and have a large tree (not any where as large as yours). Their search services used to be free but never worked on my mac. I was very excited when they decided to expand their search options but was disappointed that there was going to be an additional charge. Since I've been doing my research for so long in other sites, I was glad to be able to see the matches MyHeritage provides. I have to say, in my experience they were mostly unhelpful. Most of the Find-A-Grave matches were ones I've created myself or have already located. The social security death records are available on ancestry. The other vital statistics are fairly limited and it didn't find anything new for me. With the exception of the Newspaper articles, which looks like it does a better job matching than ancestry, everything the system identified, I already had. I therefore decided not to spend the additional money. It's true that it's a lot cheaper than ancestry, but it's a much smaller database. I find that I'm constantly finding new things on ancestry. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE MY HERITAGE. I just feel that they should have comped their members especial Premium ones like me, with the search option for a while if they wanted me to get hooked.
