Family Sites

MyHeritage lets you create your family’s own meeting place on the Internet - your family’s website. Invite your family members to participate in your site, post your family tree online and share it with family members, share family photos easily, keep track of important family events and more.

Creating a family site takes only a few minutes and doesn’t require any technical experience. Sign up to www.myheritage.com and you will be automatically prompted to create your family site.

Build family trees or upload GEDCOM files to your Family Site to explore and share your family history. 

MyHeritage is private and secure. Family sites have different privacy settings you control. We do not disclose your information to third parties. We don’t sell email addresses and we don’t spam. You control emails you receive from us.

An Ethnicity Estimate -  Reveals the percentage breakdown of ethnic origins. For more information about the Ancestral Ethnicity feature, please visit: What is the MyHeritage Ethnicity Estimate?
