MyHeritage @ RootsTech 2026 Recap

 I received this information from Daniel Horowitz of MyHeritage today:

===============================

I can’t believe that RootsTech is already behind us! It was a pleasure seeing those of you who were there in person – it was great to catch up!

Myko Clelland, our Director of Content in Europe, presented our annual keynote, which was chock full of exciting announcements, including new features, sneak previews of what’s to come, and of course some of the milestones from the past year. Here’s a quick recap:

New Features
  • Scribe AI, which transcribes, translates, and extracts insights from historical documents, letters, photos, gravestones, and even family crests — adding valuable context to treasured family artifacts. Heads up: this feature is highly addictive and genealogists are already hooked! Try it today at myheritage.com/scribe-ai
  • Country coding for family trees, a new feature that adds flags to family tree profiles so you can instantly visualize where your ancestors were born and trace your family’s global journey.
Coming Soon
  • GAIA, our Genealogy AI Assistant that will allow users to ask questions about their family tree and receive guided research assistance instantly.
  • Family Infographics transforms family tree data into a beautiful visual biography.
Recent Milestones
  • 6.6 billion historical records from dozens of countries in Europe, the Americas, and beyond.
  • OldNews.com has grown to 438 million newspaper pages, including unique Names & Stories collections from Spanish and Dutch newspapers.
  • MyHeritage is now available in 50 languages!
  • All MyHeritage DNA kits were upgraded to Whole Genome Sequencing
  • Introduction of MyHeritage DNA Traits
I hope those of you who attended had a fantastic time, and I’m already counting down to next year!

Disclosure: I receive a complimentary subscription to MyHeritage, and have received other material consideration in past years. I uploaded my autosomal DNA raw data to their DNA product. This does not affect my objective analysis of MyHeritage products. I am a paid subscriber to Family Tree Webinars and love it.
