My Heritage Research Upgrade

I received this notice from the folks at MyHeritage Research. I can’t wait to try out the upgrade to see what’s new. I first wrote about MyHeritage in the article: “Find the Celebrity in Your Ancestor” for Internet Genealogy Magazine, January 2006.

“MyHeritage Research, the genealogy search engine on MyHeritage.com, has been significantly upgraded this week. This genealogy tool specializes in finding ancestors and advancing your family research. There is nothing else quite like it on the Internet. It is free and you’re invited to use it on this link: http://www.myheritage.com/FP/Company/myheritage-research.php

MyHeritage Research now searches across more than 10 billion records to provide you the most extensive genealogy searches available anywhere on the Internet, and it’s free. This week we’ve released version 2.0, adding hundreds of new genealogy databases to its coverage. So even if you’ve tried it in the past, you’re encouraged to use our new version, as you’re likely to find more results.

To use MyHeritage Research, click http://www.myheritage.com/FP/Company/myheritage-research.php.
In the search form, enter the last name you are researching, or a combination of a first name and last name.
MyHeritage Research will then search for it in 1,400 genealogy databases and Websites on the Internet that cannot be searched by regular search engines like Google. Searches can look for an exact spelling, or multiple spelling variations (we call this Megadex). Because of the sheer extent of this search engine, some searches may take several minutes to complete. This search engine is particularly useful if you are researching a rare last name, or an uncommon combination of a first name and last name.

We also have good news for anyone interested in Jewish Genealogy. Thanks to our new collaboration with JewishGen, the top Website for Jewish genealogy, we’ve been able to add a JewishGen All-in-one search to MyHeritage Research. So searches on MyHeritage Research will now include almost all JewishGen databases, a feature not available anywhere else on the Web.

If you would like to share success stories, or send requests for covering additional sites in MyHeritage Research, or have bugs to report, please use our support forum available here: http://www.myheritage.com/FP/board.php?catID=16706&boardID=16244&itemType=15
We appreciate all feedback.

What’s next? Here at MyHeritage, we’re constantly working hard to bring you new tools for advancing your genealogy hobby. We’ve recently developed a breakthrough – Smart Matching technology which connects family trees submitted by our users. Stay tuned for exciting information about this very soon.”
