MyHeritage is a genealogy website and social network service focused on family. It enables members to establish their own family websites, share photos and videos, plan family events, create family trees, and search for ancestors. With 75 million users, 27 million family trees, 1.5 billion profiles, and 5.2 billion historical records, MyHeritage stands as one of the largest sites in the social networking and genealogy field.
The platform offers Family Tree Builder (FTB), a genealogy software for Windows that allows users to create family trees. The free version requires no registration and users can opt to pay for the premium version for additional features. Users can add details about their ancestors such as birth, death, and marriage dates, residency, profession, hobbies, and photos. The software can generate charts showing family relationships and allows users to build their family tree either online or offline.
FTB features a Smart Matching function that searches the MyHeritage database for matching family tree profiles. It also includes automatic face detection technology, a maps module integrated with Google Maps, and Smart Research for investigating family trees in key genealogy databases.
