Win Free Tickets to MyHeritage LIVE!

I would like to become a better user of My Heritage and connect with others in the family history community.

I would like to go to Amsterdam because MyHeritage LIVE event is always a possibility to get to know brand new things about recent trends in genealogy.

Let’s find out whether winning tickets for the show is something which is in your DNA. Or is luck not something which is in your DNA? Let’s see how Prof. Yaniv Erlich thinks about that, he’ll be anyway in Amsterdam.

Lucky winner My Heritage genealogy conference and visiting Amsterdam. Being at a My Heritage conference would give the winner new ideas, new information and a chance to increase their genealogical skills and their family tree using knowledge about DNA research.

of course I want to go to this, an event not to be missed

On May 10, 2018 I discovered that I was the biological father of a 38 year old female conceived as a result of Dr. Cecil Jacobson having used my sperm without my consent for a female patient other than my wife. Our adopted daughter did post doctoral research at the University of Leiden and her boy friend received his PhD from Leiden and is now at Gronengin as a professor. Our daughter is now at Oxford and we are dying to visit Europe plus I would love to gather with others who have gotten wonderful surprises from DNA analysis! I would love to share my story.

Attending MyHeritage LIVE 2019 would be a fabulous educational opportunity for me! I love genealogy conferences and I’m always looking to expand my horizons. What new DNA tools might we learn about? What will we discover about a previously unknown archive, or newly digitized records? I would love to attend MyHeritage LIVE 2019 in Amsterdam.

I’d love to see a little of Holland, but more importantly I really enjoyed the presentations I was able to stream last time and it looked and sounded like it would be so amazing to be with like minded people. I learned a lot from a distance and wonder how much more I would get in person. Thanks for the chance to attend.

I’d love to attend MyHeritage Live to learn from professionals in the Genealogy field. It would be a privilege to be able to visit a historic city to be able to learn more from the very best on all aspects- methodology, DNA, etc.- of Genealogy. It is an amazing opportunity that I would not take for granted.

For 26 years I have been looking for my birth parents after being adopted anonymously. I hope to learn more about the value of the matches that I have on Myheritage.

I would be honored to attend MyHeritage LIVE, to meet Gilad Japhet, the MyHeritage staff and fellow lovers of their family history.
Count me in!

I want a rigorous education on the features of the MyHeritage site.

I would like to find out more about MH.

I really enjoyed Oslo last year and would love to get even more knowledge and experience from MyHeritage workshops and as important get more networking done with other MyHeritage members. And getting a free ticket will make my budget and travel possible.

I’d like to attend MyHeritage LIVE to be able to get the most out of MyHeritage subscription.
I can’t afford to but a ticket though…
I’d be happy to share my 2nd ticket with some other reseacher if I win (!).

I have been utilizing MyHeritage for over a decade. It has assisted greatly with my research. It inspired me to undertake formal study in Family History. I am a huge fan of MyHeritage in Australia and would love to meet some of the team and other users. I would like to workl for MyHeritage here in Australia!

Me and my wife really want to learn more about how to be able to explore the unknown relatives and especially regarding DNA research.

I want to go to better understand DNA genealogy and genealogy service provided by MyHeritage. My goal is to reveal my family ancestors and roots as much as possible from the hidden past..

To support the interest and provide the feedback to the service.
Stay great!

It will be a great chance to hear these lecturers, many of whom don’t make it to Israel to speak. There is nothing better than F2F interaction and connecting with new genealogy researchers.

would like to go to learn more and meet some the people that run this

I would very much like to win tickets to the My Heritage Live 2019. This will really help with my family in Norway. I have been a MyHeritage member for quite a long time.

Wondering to comunicate with Genealogy researchers

There is always something new to learn about in this fascinating field. Amsterdam is a great location, and a visit to the Windows District (as opposed to the Android and IOS districts) is a must for all tourists. Just kidding, as my wife is looking over my shoulder as I type. 🙂

After many years searching I have found my paternal grandparents. One was arrested by the Gestapo as a communist and escaped to Prague and found his way to Moscow where Stalin had him shot as a German spy in the Great Terror of 1937-38. The other was arrested in late 1944 for harbouring a member of the Committee of Free Germany. She was sent to prison awaiting execution for ‘preparation for High Treason’. Six months later she was liberated by the Americans! Without MyHeritage I would not have found them and their story.

I’m more and more drawn into the family history world. I currently host a group of 20 people who get together each month to share our findings, techniques, and help each other go further. I would like to be able to do more and think the Amsterdam conference would help me a lot.

John

This has taken our genealogy research to a new level. My Heritage has raised the bar to what precise and reliable sources should be.

Attending the My Heritage User Conference would really assist me to enrich my family tree and my research

This is a great system

Tracked my family to Amsterdam live nothing more than an eXcuse to visit and do some research !

I am really keen to win so that I can introduce my husband to the joys of My Heritage.

#1 Learn how to improve and expand my family tree, especially in the ancestors.

#2 Holland is a truly great country. I was in Amsterdam last year for about 8 hours and it was enough to want me to be sure to return, Perhaps this will be my opportunity/

What a Fantastic opportunity to increase a 1000fold ones knowledge of research into ones history. An added bonus will be meeting fellow enthusiasts from all over the world who are pursueing the fascinating hobby of research into ones family’s history.

Thank you MyHeritage for offering this golden opportunity.

My wife and I have always enjoyed doing family history work. The really exciting thing for us is in doing temple work for others that can’t do it for themselves, and although “Family Search” is the one used by us the most, “My Heritage” is also used in that effort, because it has such a wonderful “search individuals” data base.
Plus of course, we would love the free trip!

Would love to attend the September event, hopefully meet Ester…..after she helped me so much…!!

Also September is my wife and I’s birth month…!! (Same date 25th. but 5 years apart..!)
Thank you so much.
Brian.

This would be really special, since my grandmother was from Amsterdam, and I could retrace her footsteps.

Well A) Amsterdam because my heritage is half Norwegian! B) It’s the opportunity of a lifetime if you are a into genealogy but not financially able to put anything into it. For people like myself this means finding yourself stuck with many walls and roadblocks. Since my mom is the Norwegian line AND the adopted person who holds the most compelling of my mysteries and walls, it seems likely that an event of this magnitude would be pretty amazing all across the board.

Sounds like an opportunity, but tickets to the event don’t pay the plane fare! I’m in the midst of taking over my mother’s 30-year Research into her family history including travel two countries that no longer have the documents she was looking for… There are so many more tools and Records available that weren’t back then that I would like to be able to update all of what has been passed on to me as well as find other tools and organizations that might assist in my research.

Overall, anyone who contacts me about DNA matches, I try to help, educate and / or assist with anything that they are not understanding correctly or to help in any way I can [ other than doing the work for them]!

I would love the chance to network with other researchers and I have considered trying to start a career in the field of genealogy. This would give me the chance to discover if I could and what that might look like.
Also, I would love to skip over to Sweden or France to research.
Lastly, I would love to invite my fiancée with me so that we could use this as a chance for a honeymoon! <3

Since becoming interested in genealogy I have found it to be a fascinating pursuit. It’s never-ending, but the further you go, the more difficult it is to chase down information. My family background is mainly Great Britain and South Africa. In both cases I have found that some branches of the family have limited information. Attending My Heritage LIVE would be great in that it would help me learn about additional resources and techniques I could be using. I would also be interested to hear about other researchers’ experiences.

I would love to learn more about techniques to research my family genealogy. Also, I will be close enough to check out areas where some of my family members originated from.

My daughter, Melissa has been doing a lot of genealogy from her home about her dad’s family. I would like to share her joy with the joy of my deseased husband’s family.

I’ve been researching my family heritage for over 20 years. I am fascinated at the many connections I’ve discovered. I would love to attend the conference and learn even better ways to research my family history and meet others who are doing the same.
I’m of French, German, Italian, and English Heritage. Besides English I speak, read and write Japanese and Korean.

I began researching my family history in the 80’s. Back then I had to travel to county courthouses because there was nothing online. By the early 90’s I was able to put all the research together to trace my family back to the 1716 arrival of one of my ancestors. Now with so much online and with DNA connections I have expanded all the branches of my family. I would really love to go to Amsterdam for the conference, and also while there, possibly find family connections and explore locations from my Dutch heritage. Any information I get at the conference will undoubtedly be useful that I can share with other researchers. Who knows, I may find a distant relative there who is also searching for a connection.

I’m hopeful that by attending this conference I will be able to break through a brick wall or two that are keeping me from further exploring my roots.

I would like to go to MyHeritage Live in Amsterdam to attend the conference and visit my Dutch cousin who recently collaborated with me on a book called “Jaap and Emmy” that was researched with the hep of MyHeritage.

Thank you,

I love the accuracy of my ancestors. This sight is the best ever. Been on this site for several months and am never disappointed.

I would love to attend

Yeah, love to see My Heritage grow. All my known living relatives are still in Germany so this would be suuuuuper to visit them and acquaint them with My Heritage.

So excited.

When I look in the mirror, I can feel all the history that is within me. I now look at people, any people/person and think first; Who is our common ancestor? The discoveries I’ve made on MyHeritage has rewired my neural network. My thinking and choices are now a confluence of all those humans that are MyHeritage.

I don’t think I’m using MyHeritage to it’s full potential and know I could learn to get more out of it by attending the conference. I’ve been bitten by the ”genealogy bug”, and I love that I’m always learning something new.

I would love to learn more from the wonderful scholars and also be able to network with other family historians.

There is always more to learn in the genealogy community. Going to Amsterdam would be a great place to learn and a once in a lifetime opportunity for me.

Excited to know my results released

want to find out about my ancestor from the area of the conference and would love to meet new people

Thanks to My Heritage I’ve been able to discover entire Family branches after years of research using other means…attending this conference most certainly will help Me dig even deeper into the past.

The Amsterdam event will give me a chance to learn how to conduct better research and to renew ties with my wife’s relatives in the Netherlands.

I would absolutely LOVE to go to this! Genealogy and DNA analysis have become some of the most interesting and fulfilling parts of my life. It’s just so fascinating!

Some of my family today and in the past lived in Amsterdam

My family came from the Netherlands. It would be super special to attend MyHeritage Life 2019 and then be able to explore local archives and sights.

Having recently discovered that several of my ancestors were among the original settlers of New Amsterdam, I am excited to learn more about them, see the land of their birth and perhaps walk upon streets where they walked.

M absolutely stuck trying to find out where my husband’s family came from prior to The USA in the mid 1800’s. I’m hoping to find connections at this conference!

Great chance to hear from the specialist leaders in the genealogical business world. Would be an amazing opportunity to listen to these people. A once in a lifetime chance to expand my knowledge of the subject.

I want to understand the deep and powerful yearning for connection that has led to an interest in family trees.

I Love the way My Heritage has integrated its program!! It is easy to navigate to information (Civil War Records, WW Draft Cards, etc). I was truly amazed.

I would love to go to the My Heritage LIVE in September as I have come to a sticking point and don’t know how to move on

My great grandparents were from Holland and Germany which is close to Holland. I’d like to learn more genealogy, visit where they lived and research records.

Who wouldn’t want to visit the country where your ancestors originated? And a genealogy conference as a bonus.

I would love to go, this would be an amazing experience. Dream trip of mine

I would love to come and see the different ways people have done things. If anyone can show me the way to have my family trees searches(3) in a state of non-confusion. I am getting on in age and some of my nieces and nephews are interested in taking on this task.
All I need is help to generate easier ways to hand it over.
Thanks for your time.

I really, really, really, really want to go to My Heritage LIVE!! I just *love* your new DNA tools and I encourage everyone to upload their DNA results or get them done and use the Auto Cluster reports and the Theory of Family Relativity! (what a great name!). I’d love to go to one place that’s all about My Heritage and research and DNA. You do such great work and your online product is so intuitive and amazing. Your staff is so genuine and relaxed – not so corporate as others. PLEASE, I HOPE I WIN! 🙂

So many wonderful things have happened since I started on my DNA search. One of the many great findings was finding a fourth cousin that I never knew. We are now good friends and have certainly bonded over our ancestor quest. Another finding, I never knew I had a second great grandmother from England. Her family is very large and even though I may never know any of them I now feel that I do.
I want to learn so much more by listening to the experts, meeting with other enthusiasts and just have a great time.
Thank you MyHeritage
Mary Alyse Strother.

I continue to learn more about my family, it’s roots and how history interacts with my family story. I would love to attend this conference to be part of the growing field of genealogy.

It would be lovely to know the story behind my birth, I don’t think it’s going to happen, but you never know. In the meantime I can enjoy seeing how exciting it is to find ancestors. I already have wonderful background from my Dad. adopted or not it’s wonderful to know his background.

What a wonderful chance for a lucky person to experience a great conference and a taste of the “old country” all at the same time!

Want to have the adventure of a lifetime.

Wow what an opportunity to grow my family tree, learning from experts as well as other genealogy enthusiasts. My mind is exploding with the possibilities.

I would like to attend MyHeritage Live! with my cousin who I have never met. We have spent a lot of time working on our family tree and discovering how we connect. We were both adopted and have had great fun drilling down on our shared history and have learned a lot in the process – the rich history of our country, the legacies our forebears left and how wonderful friendships can be made from the DNA matching process. The two of us have often spoken of spending some time together doing nothing but genealogy, so this would be the perfect opportunity!

I love learning more about My family and it European roots from Sweden to Ireland there is just so much more for me to learn

This is so addicting and exciting at the same time, I can’t stop, I spend so much time searching Family on both sides of my Family just to see how far back I could go, not sure what I’ll do when I can go no further. This is amazing
Thank you!

I’ve recently discovered I have some Norwegian roots and had listed going there to my “Bucket List” I would love to make going a reality!

I would love to be able to access new information and build on my family history with new tool and techniques.
I am discovering some many new relatives in wonderful places and just maybe I might find some here.

To possibly meet my European relatives & hear of ancestors I never knew existed. Until I joined MyHeritage I thought I was one of the last of my bloodline. In only a few months I’ve discovered over 8,000!!!!! And my DNA was a little surprising (not knowing) but it made me smile & feel great! Thank you!

It sounds wonderful! Thanks to MyHeritage I found family that I did not know existed. I look forward to learning more about how to use MyHeritage. Just another genealogy geek!!!

Soooo looking forward…

Although I’m now 78, I am still heavily involved in genealogy, both personally and as a volunteer for our local historical society. I have relatives in Germany and my husband had Dutch heritage on his maternal side, going back to Revolved Waldron, a sheriff in New Amsterdam for Peter Stuyvesant. His father was the youngest of 13 born in London who emigrated in the early 1900s. Most of his family stayed in England but we did visit with one of his cousins when we visited about 35 years ago. The chance to exchange information with Europeans, and possibly contact relatives, and to hear the programs that will be presented by internationally known genealogists is very exciting.

My ancestors were from the Netherlands so I would love to go there and find out more about them

Going to the myheritage conference would be a dream! It’s my first year learning about genealogy and I still have so much more to learn. On top of that being in Amsterdam would be amazing!

I have recently found that my paternal Great Grandfather comes from a little village on the border between France and Belgium.

Australia – where I live – is so far away “Downunder” that it would be a fantastic opportunity to combine a genealogy research trip and also to participate in the MyHeritage LIVE event in September.

I desperately need to upskill my knowledge on genetic genealogy and the MyHeritage LIVE workshops will hopefully fill that void.

Oh! And a European holiday would be the icing on the genealogical cake!

International speakers, sessions about My Heritage features, so much to see, hear and learn! Who wouldn’t want to go to Amsterdam in 2019! I would LOVE to be there!

In 2015 a storage bin full of all my family records waas sent accidentally to the dump, all my family pictures and precious historical papers and records were lost to me.Thankfully I had worked on My Heritage family tree and this was preserved for my family. I want to attend the MyyHeritage Amsterdam conference to express my sincere thanks for this online record keeping system and personally acknowledge it’s importance to me and so many .It is a tool to show how we are all connected!

I am a genealogy fanatic and have enjoyed building a dozen family trees using MyHeritage. Any tools I can use to help me increase my skills would give me great pleasure.

Tickets to the conference would be fantastic to have because i have longed to know more about the ins and outs of geneology research it would also give us a chance to do some research on the family who lived in holland and hopefully get a chance to reconnect with distant cousins

I am planning a trip to Europe to meet cousins discovered through DNA testing. Piggybacking on a trip to MyHeritage LIVE to learn about MyHeritage tools in Amsterdam on September 6-8 would work nicely.
Thank You,
Leslie Franklin

I wish to go to My Heritage genealogy conference and visiting Amsterdam,its very important for me,thank you.

I love searching for family. This would be a great way for me to learn new things to help me along the way.

I would love to win free tickets to the MyHeritage LIVE 2019 conference because I have been using the MyHeritage site for the past 2 years and have had DNA tests done for myself, my husband and son and have been thrilled at seeing the results of our ancestory. We are a multi-cultural family and it would be great to learn more about family genetics by DNA.

Kind regards,
Josephine Ladegourdie.

I have been researching my family tree for 40 years. An opportunity like this would be astounding.

I have established my family linear roots over 8 generations in South Africa and have hit a wall at my

Belgium ancestors prior to 1632. Would like to visit Brugge from where they originated and continue

the family search. Also wish to be updated with the latest genealogy technology and quality

searches. Speak Afrikaans, German and understand Dutch and to a limited extend French.Studying isi

Xhosa. Married into a French Huguenot family of Joubert.

Hi,
I am using myheritage since 2011, and it really helped me to save the history and genealogy of my of village, keep to participate to explore more tools, developed my village entire family tree up to 13 generations.

I would love to go to a genealogy conference because it would be filled with people who share my interests.

My bag is packed and i’m ready to go to MyHeritage live. It would be awesome to be involved in. Love my journey to find information on my family.

For my friend Annie and myself to meet and learn from many like-minded people from across the globe.

To understand my past is to understand my future.

In June of 2015 I was diagnosed with incurable Breast Cancer which spread to my bones and lymph node. It is so important to me to learn more about my ancestry (especially on my fathers side as I am stuck and my cousin who I was working with passed away just over a year ago) so I can pass the information down to my sons and grandsons etc. The My Heritage DNA test helped so much and I would love to attend this conference to obtain knowledge for myself and to pass on the information to my children. Family is so important to me but I do not have a lot of money to spend on the research I need to accomplish my task. Thank you

To discover more and meet like-minded colleagues

I would really like to learn more about my dna results. It would be a great opportunity to get helpful tips from other enthusiasts and professionals.

For many years while I was young my father told me I had two other siblings. A sister and a brother. I was too young to ask important questions. Like how do you know it was during the war, didn’t you leave before and come home. Do you know where the mother or mothers are living know. Do you know where the children are did you meet and hold this boy and this girl.
So once DNA became affordable and after my mother died and order the DNA kit and got back my results. I found a half sibling that only lived 90 minutes away. That got me thinking, did my father know that this girl my sister lived her, and married? She was adopted. Did my dad know what happed to the mother? If my dad know of these children why didn’t he do something about it their condition. Step up and be a father.
So many unanswered questions that may never be answered.

I would like to go to the conference because I’m the family historian, trying to keep record of them all. It would be so nice to learn more and connect with other family historians. A conference seems to be an adventure and I would like the experience.

As a relatively young genealogist (20), I’m still looking for ways to improve my skills and learn more about my family history – and a chance to meet other genealogists and experts would be the chance of a lifetime for me.

I am just a dot like a SEED planted in the darkness waiting on others to connect the dots of who are where I am coming from. I just have one DNA match to Amsterdam but it’s a piece of my DNA probably no one will notice. I think all DNA does matter because it leads to someone LIFE . I like to see My Heritage Take me to Amsterdam A DOT .

Walls. Walls, walls, walls, walls! Knowledge and inspiration gained through My Heritage Live might help revitalize my research and knock down some walls. I’d love to be there!

I would like to attend MyHeritage LIVE!

I would definitely love to attend The Amsterdam MyHeritage 2019 conference. I am very interested in the history of my ancestors and enjoy the building of my family tree, I think that the family tree is such a brilliant tool to know your family. Thanks to the MyHeritage Team

This would be so awesome! Would love to be there, so many unanswered questions could be answered!

Looks like a great opportunity.

I want to learn and learn. I want to meet and interact with others with knowledge and primarily also with MyHeritage personnel.

I would ove to find, where,I came in to this world, what is my Heritage,

Looking forward to receiving my D,N,A.

My grandchildren are very interested in their family history. In a time where the younger generations are not being taught about where they came from, what our ancestors endured and went through so we can be where we are today. This would be a fantastic way to help them learn

My father wrote a book on the ” History of Templemore and it’s Environs”. It was written using a portable type writer, using tippex paper to correct spelling, his filing system was flat shirt boxes, they were slightly larger than A4 paper, and they were coloured coded for identification, about 12 boxes in all. I was one of five children in the family You dare not touch or disturb any of the boxes. We were often caught sneaking out a blank page for colouring and play, and there would be hell to pay. Did I ask him about history, no, no we were way too busy, TV had just come into our home (1965), and I had discovered rock and roll, and testosterone was beginning to kick in.
Now that he is no longer with us, I do of course regret not asking about our history. Then in 2012 I came across my heritage, and the historical voyage started. I helped restart our local historical society, was chairman for 3 years, and still very much involved. I have traced my family back to the 1700’s and still working on it. (I retired in 2015). I find talking to people about family history and particularly getting tips and encourage from them on research can be very very helpful and fascinating. Because of my family research I have made wonderful friends and discovered many cousins. Also I am wanderlust type of person, or in Ireland we are called ” Galavanters “. eg. ” He is fore ever gallavanting, or ” The road isn’t half long enough for him ” . Amsterdam is on my bucket list, and I would love to go there. John Walsh

Been a member before.

I would love to go to MyHeritageLive 2019, because I am passionate about my family and want to find the missing links in our family chain. I feel drawn to my great grandparents and those before them and I would love to learn new skills on how to be effective in researching, from all those who are the experts.

I’m really enjoying the new tools Autoclusters and Theory of Relativity. Amazing! Most of my learning has been piecemeal…would love to have a genealogy immersion experience!

I would like to meet people form different countries who have the same interest.

Why would I like yo go to the conference? Because I am relatively new to genealogy and would love to learn every aspect of my findings, DNA portion and researching. I have a large family tree and information is flying at me. I have notice that I have then smart matches verifying them and understanding what I am doing is a bit of a challenge. Would I benefit from going My Heritage live you better believe it! Thank you for the opportunity to at least try for tickets.

I would love to hear the future of the technology and where it will bring us. And just to hear about how far we have come already!

I would love to attend the ‘MyHeritage LIVE 2019’ in September, to hear experts speak about DNA and to attend hands-on workshops too! I’m so excited, I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep until I hear who’s won this great opportunity! How awesome that My Heritage is being so generous to give away two tickets to this amazing event! Thank you

To learn more about our families history, where we originate from to where we are now.

I have been a member of MyHeritage for about ten years. I was an early adopter. I am not a professional genealogist or an expert, but an amateur, and thus I am representative of many of MyHeritage’s customers. I am active on many social media genealogy groups, like on Facebook, and I would be happy to share anything I will have learned. I would like to meet Blaine Bettinger, who I understand is one of the speakers, and whom I particularly follow.

My heritage is a new platform for my genealogy research. I feel like I’ve reached the limits of what Ancestry can offer. The features and possibilities of My Heritage is bringing my research to a whole new level. After attending the DNA conference in SAN Diego, I realize that great conferences can help me discover new technology. The networking possibilities are endless!

My Heritage has been invaluable in researching my paternal family, and it would fulfill my research dream to attend this conference. I have hit three brick walls in my search for family: Julia Victoria Carlson (foster child, Sweden); Gilbert Warner; and Mary Catherine Ivory (Ireland). I knew my great grandmother, Julia who I called GG. My mother never knew Julia, her grandmother, was a foster child. I have searched for these relatives for years to no avail, and would love to attend this conference in hopes of learning better resources, methods and leads.

I would love to go to this conference and understand more about DNA and genealogy. I’ve been researching my family and hit a brick wall. It’d be great to learn more and get some tips that might break my deadlock!

I’d like to go to the MyHeritage User Conference, MyHeritage LIVE 2019, in Amsterdam. I’m a member of MyHeritage and have been working on my family tree. My grandparents migrated from Stockholm, Sweden to Chicago but I am having no luck finding their birth or death dates as I believe Anderson was spelled different in Sweden.

I want to attend the conference to find my family on my father side of the family , if any are still living. My family never met one person from my fathers side of the family. He never spoke of them. It is like he dropped onto this earth when he met and married my mother in the 1930 ‘s . My DNA says I am 41% Scandinavia , which was a big surprise to me. I just want more information
If possible. I have hit a dead end in research.

Bonjour!! I’m in Canada but will be in Belfast, N.I. for the month of September so I could easily make it to Amsterdam! I love the information I get from Myheritage but there are many things I don’t quite understand and would need to attend live seminars and workshops in order to get the bigger picture.
My French-Canadian/Italian/Jewish/South American Indian husband recently found a cousin in Sweden and we’ve been in touch; how awesome is that! Thank you for the amazing work you do!
Hélène

I volunteer for the Family Search center at The Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints and love the Heritage sturdy. I my work is greatly enhances with the use of My Heritage. I love and appreciate all the work so many orginations are doing to preserve our Heritages. It would be exciting to attend the My Heritage Conference where there is such rich history being discovered.

I would love to be able to attend. I have never traveled off North America. I have always been interested in visiting any European country. I am sure there is a lot of information that I could find out as to do a proper family tree and how to do corrections where I know there are errors. I have never been able afford to travel abroad. Would love to travel there. It would be close to the country where my husband grandfather came from which was Sweden.

I would like to win the tickets because I am new to genealogy research and need all the help I can get. Also, through MyHeritage I learned of my Norwegian ancestry that I had no idea about. Thanks, Sue Sautner

We would love to go to My Heritage Live to have the opportunity to explore a family name that has been changed so frequently that we are not certain we are on the right trail anymore. Getting into the area where we believe the name originates, surrounded by seminars full of people with a passion for genealogy would not only encourage us, but also open doors of possible answers.

Think info i obtain at conference will help me in my family search. Looking forward to coming.

I’ve been doing ancestry research for many years for my family. The opportunity to listen to and get tips or help from experts on how I could expand my research further would be wonderful.

I have been researching my grandmother’s 1893 adoption for many years and DNA has helped to narow down the biological lines. Your Auto Cluster feature was extremely helpful in getting some of my late Aunt’s matches sorted in a more meaningful way. Now I can begin to fill in some of the missing links in the tree between my grandmother’s biological parents and their ancestors.
Along the way, I discoverd, very much to my surprise, that my grandmother has a significant amount of Colonial Dutch ancestry! I visited Amsterdam when I was in college in 1983, not realizing a part of my heritage was from this country. I would love to go back and see it through new eyes. Plus my other ancestral country, Norway, is nearby and I would love to see my great-grandparents’ hometowns of Porsgrun and Stavanger.
I only wish my mother, aunt and uncle were still with us so I could share all of this with them.

Amazing. I would love to walk the footsteps of my ancestors. Family and Family History are my great love. When doing research I feel the bond and connection of those who have past d. Families are forever.

I have been doing genealogy of our family since my mom’s passed away 10 years and have found so many interesting facts. I would love to expand my knowledge-base by attending this conference but the cost won’t allow me to do so. Please select me. I am nearing retirement age and plan to offer free genealogy search services in my retirement so will be giving back to the community. I can disseminate knowledge that I learn at this conference to those in my community.
Thank you

I have been trying on my own. to find out about my family, I sure could use the extra help, as I’m not getting very far on my own!

I would love to attend the MyHeritage Live 2019 event. I was adopted as a young child and have been searching for my family and their history story ever since. I have met a few of my family members but no one can really tell me much. I have set out on a journey of finding my history to learn more about myself and also for my children as well. I love researching and attending this MyHeritage Live 2019 event in Amsterdam would help me improve my skills and knowledge, plus introduce me to like minded people. I have learnt through DNA that my family comes from the United Kingdom (U.K.). I would love to have the opportunity to travel.

I would like to learn more about using the MyHeritage site and research possibilities.

The majority of my ancestors are from areas very close to the Netherlands. This would provide an opportunity to enhance my research abilities and resources.

I think the world of DNA and Genealogy is fascinating! I would be an honor to go to Amsterdam to MyHeritage LIVE!

I am adopted, and I knew nothing of my biological story. Honestly, I really had no desire to know anything about my biological makeup. I was content to wonder if there were others who were connected to me, but never knowing who they were. However, after seeing a friend find a Brother he knew nothing about, I decided to take the plunge. I am so glad I did.

I gathered the courage to take the MyHeritage DNA test. That was the first step in a puzzle that I am now working to piece together. Now, that my DNA doors have been opened, there is a want to explore more about who my biological family might be – what/who MyHeritage is (pun intended) – to add some missing chapters and most of relatives to my story.

The reason I would like to go to My Heritage live is because I have hit a brick wall with my great grandad who was born in Ireland. I have had several brick walls over the last 15 years but this one I cannot break down. I would like someone to give me that hammer to break it down at the show.
I just want that hammer time at the show.

Attending the MyHeritage User Conference MyHeritage LIVE 2019 in Amsterdam would provide an unequaled opportunity to learn about the latest trends, technology and best practices as I explore a new career direction in international genealogy to help others looking for their roots. I would relish the opportunity to meet fellow family history enthusiasts and top experts from around the world. I would also take advantage of being in Europe to travel to Poland where MyHeritage has connected me to long lost cousins who trace our ancestors going back to 1550, and do more research.

Perhaps this would open the brick wall that I have run into with my European ancestry as I experience this educational conference closer to their homeland.

For 40 some years I have had a pen and paper in hand whenever I was with a family elder – from my parents, my husband’s parents, aunts, uncles, cousins of every generation. Don’t ask me why, but I must have that ‘genealogy disease’ that afflicts a certain number of people of every generation, of every population. I have become the repository for old letters, documents, pictures that many people throw away. Today I have the life stories of many, many people in my and my husband’s family. I am always hoping to learn more.

I have over 50 years experience as a family Historian including a dozen years as a National Archives volunteer, teaching family history at an Air Force library and helping hundreds of others searching out their roots.
I would love to take my wife to her ancestral Homeland to celebrate our genealogy. A trip to the Neatherlands and photographing one of her families primary nation’s of origin would be one of the highlights of my work and perhaps help my wife understand my passion for discovering and preserving our combined families lineage.

I know nothing about my maternal grandmother and would love help in finding out her history.

My husband and I would love to win the tickets to the My Heritage LIve conference because, as an adoptee, he has found biological family and we’ve met with them! What a wonderful feeling this was for him! I’d love him to locate his biological mother’s family too.

Learning about my DNA helped me understand more about my Jewish heritage. I’ve been interested in genealogy since I’ve been 13 and being able to go to the conference is a dream come true!

Just want to say- if I don’t get chosen for the free tickets please pick George Watson! I read most of the comments and George’s short, but to the point, plea wins my vote 🙂 He needs to go while he’s still able. Thanks!
Hélène

I am interested since I was adopted and my DNA has yet to reveal any close relations but it has given me what my genetic makeup is. I have never been there and would love to go and meet others that like me only have part of the story (I did find my birth mother at age 40 but not long with her since she had cancer and she refused to say who my father was).

My Nana went to Norway and said she would take me someday. She died in 1990 and I never been to Eorope.
Id love to meet new people!

As a MyHeritage member with mixed heritage, European and African, this conference would assist me in my European research. To be in Europe and to experienced the vibe of people there along with those coming from so many other historic locations, I believe participating in this conference with help me learn where my family’s story began so I can know better who I am. That’s the journey, right?

I want to attend MyHeritage Live 2019 because due to unforeseen events I’ve been away from my genealogy too long. (3 years) I’m slowly getting back into it and loving the new technology I’ve seen so far. This would be an opportunity for me to dive headfirst back into my genealogy. It would give me a chance to research abroad, and find out what is being done on the other side of the pond.

MyHeritage has helped me locate our family in Arizona, Mexico, and now Spain! I am still searching for family in Spain and hope to meet and unite with them. This Amsterdam conference would allow me to meet with genealogy specialists who may be able to guide me to my Ortiz family in Spain, as well as our O’Sullivan family in Ireland and Britain! #AmsterdamMyHeritageLive2019!

I would love to find out how to delve deeper in to my family heritage and explore places where they lived. It would be like reading a novel about my family and all their connections!

My wife & I are really getting into genealogy and are ready to learn more about it.

I just started using MyHeritage recently and quite impressed after being a faithful Ancestry subscriber for many many years. I recently found out I was an NPE. I’m 65 years old and my retired life is committed to genealogy especially since I have a newfound paternal family. I watch webinars, read blogs, magazines, or anything I can get my hands on as I have a huge thirst for knowledge in finding all of this. Amsterdam is a wonderful city as my daughter lived there for 10 years and a perfect place to have this. Congrats to MyHeritage and your commitment to people like me. It is a great website and company!

Could this enlightening time in Amsterdam lead me to unanswered questions? Thank you for presenting the opportunity to be amongst such a valued group. Family value and heritage go back many generations. With this opportunity, I hope to bridge the gap for my undertaking. Thank you.

I would love the opportunity to attend MyHeritage Live 2019! I’ve been researching my family tree for about six years, all self taught, so I would really benefit from different research techniques and the additional information provided by attending this conference.

I would love to go MyHeritage Live because I am still learning about genealogy. I didn’t really have a big interest until I did my DNA, at 55 years old, and found that my Dad was not my biological father. Not to mention, who wouldn’t want to go to Amsterdam!!

I would love to go, I have only been working on my genealogy for a little over a year and am completely hooked. I would love the opportunity to speak with fellow amateur geneaologists and perhaps gather helpful hints and pick their brains. Hope to see you there.

I would like to understand DNA better. I’m not use how to use the DNA results to assist in finding ancestors. I attended RootsTech 2019 and am more confused. There are so many kits and so many ways to twist the information. I want to learn the correct ways to use this great technology advance. RootsTech give a snippet here and a small piece there, so hard to get the begin to end route and thereby find true results i can understand and learn from. From all I have heard and seen, MyHeritage is the best chance to help me.

I have been working on the largest quest of my life…My Great Uncle Ted Turner…Needs to know I’m out here trying to get to him…I am sure not a one has had their DNA done…all on Family trees and historical documents.

I had a cousin that started the family history years ago. He unfortunately passed away before the completed it.
I am planning on retiring this year and would like to be more involved finding out about my family roots and heritage. I have found out so much being on this site already and look forward to finding more out.

I am eager to learn as much as I can about searching my family’s history!!

As a fairly new member of MyHeritage, my excitement after reading all about what the first meeting was like, made me think about the Amsterdam meeting.We usually go on a cruise at that time of year, but my wife and I would give up a cruise for MyHeritage attendance at the meeting.Writing about this brings an idea to life. Make the following year a more “moving” experience by hiring a cruise ship to have the next meeting for a minimum of 3 to 7 days. These cruise ships today have all the amenities to have various side meetings by guest speakers. Depending how many people attend MYHeritage meetings could prove that it would mainly a self paying for the cruise. Just a thought. Further suggestion, make the journey Europe to New York for example.

I would be thrilled to attend one of my many “ counties of origin” and learn more about my Norwegian heritage. Learning from an expert if my many years of exploration into my heritage was on the right path or not would hopefully validate all of my hard work.

Hello,
I am very new at this and would love to learn all the tools and tips I can learn. What a great chance to find out how to go about it without harassing everybody else to show and explain things to me and to have to wait until they have time available to show me.

I have hit so many brick walls in my research, and don’t know how to get around/ over or through them. I’m a diy genealogist, I would greatly love to learn how to research in such a way that will save time and errors

I’d love to attend MyHeritage Live to learn from fellow researchers and attend panels from professionals.

I’d love to learn tips about researching my family history.

Hoping to win free tickets to My Heritage LIVE 2019

Amsterdam is a great place for this! I always want to learn more about locating ancestors.

Amsterdam is a great choice for a genealogy convention.
I was born in the Netherlands, so I would love to be able to go to Amsterdam.
One of my Dutch ancestors is Grutte Pier, a famous folk hero in Friesland,
and I would like to learn more about this branch of my family.

I was born in the Amsterdam in 1949 and my ancestors are mostly from the Netherlands with some German and Scandinavian thrown into the mix. I’ve done a lot of research online on Dutch genealogical sites, many of which are free to use and many of those have free access to original documents! There are some dead ends though. I would love to have a chance to talk to some professionals.

We would LOVE to win the tickets to the Amsterdam My Heritage LIVE. I have been researching my family and my husband’s family for about 6-7 years. I have learned a lot but I feel there is SO much I don’t know, and I am dying to learn more…especially about my DNA. I think it would also help me to know why tracing my relatives, I go back to Pocohantas (Matoaka), but my DNA does not. I also yearn to know how to use My Heritage more. I am a recent subscriber and I know you can and are able to help me. Please consider us. Thank you ‘oodles’!!

I would love to find out more of my mothers family. Henry Hoffman Loos MD and Alice Margaret Campbell Loos

I am adopted and found out who both my parents were and found family members in 2016. I love finding out where all my family if from. From my husband’s grandparents coming over from Sweden as children to Ellis island, to my adopted family coming from the east United States and everything else.

My wife’s family is from Holland and this would give her a chance to connect with her family that lives there. She has been wanting to do the research on her family for years and I have started it on her behalf. But honestly I am working on several of my own family lines and cannot take her on as well at the moment. If she was to win the contest I know it would get her excited about doing her family research!

thanks and keep up the amazing work you do!!!

I had an epiphany when I saw this email…all my years of genealogy research, my recent dna results and the fact that of all countries (though I live in U.S.) I have always had an affinity to the Netherlands and when I was in elementary school did a report on.this country…as well as a 3d map of it with flour salt and water LoL

Hi my name is Patricia. I’ve always wanted to know why I look the way I do, or like the things; jewelry, clothes, foods etc., I do that indicate some of my ethnicity. I’m always being confused for being other races/ethnicities so I’d love to attend the conference to learn more about where I may have come from. I was bullied in middle school a lot because of my skin color and was detained a year in the 8th grade for fighting back and getting suspended. I just want to know who I truly am so when people ask as they much of the time do I can have a more educated answer instead just of saying mixed. Thanks,
Patti

I am a fairly new user of My Heritage and have found so much more information than I had from other sites. Using My Heritage has rekindled my enthusiasm for genealogy. Attending the conference would allow me to explore all that My Heritage has to offer.

Amsterdam puts me closer to my roots. I’m ready for wonderful instruction and insights.

Great chance to learn from the experts & especially the the cool new tools to help with my genetic genealogy journey! ☺ Also one of my genealogy roadblocks is my Sain family who I have traced to Germany in 1730 so it would be awesome to visit there too!

I’ve been a committed seeker of information about my family’s history. I started knowing just a few people in my family tree and now I have over 20,000 people whom I can call relative! My roots info is most in abundance from when they (peasants in Germany) were invited, along with many others in the same circumstances, by the Hapsburg royals to go to Hungary to resettle land formerly in use by the Turks who had been driven out of Hungary. I want to learn how I can find my ancestors in Germany–the ones who ended up in Hungary. I also want to meet fellow researchers (I find it very difficult to call myself a genealogist–don’t ask me why) who might be able to direct me to the right path. It’s always exciting to meet people who are interested in the same things–I’d love to share ideas and info with those people. By the way, I will turn 88 in May–I may be old but I’ve not lost my drive. I’m also pretty fast on the computer (I’m a long-time retired business teacher) so I can sit for hours and type in more people on my family tree (I use FTM). Okay, enough about me . . . tell me about yourself! Go ahead, I’m listening! 🙂 PS: I had DNA done by Ancestry.com and I also had it done by MyHeritage.com–guess what! They were different! What would cause that???

I became intrigued by my heritage for two reasons. First my mum was adopted in the 1930s so we know nothing about her heritage. Secondly I have red hair, I wanted to see if it’s from Irish or Scottish background. I’m fascinated about learning my families oath over the generations.

My Heritage the most interesting, exciting and addicting ancestral research I’ve worked on

I love conferences, especially genealogy conferences! And would love to go to Amsterdam.

Hi from Chicago! My father was from Holland – and I can trace his father’s lineage back several generations. Attending this conference would be extremely personal for me – to see the house my father hid in from the Nazi’s, to seeing the family hotel that had been in the family for generations prior to WWII. Being able to visit family grave sites would be the frosting on the cake – not to mention attending all of the great lectures!

I would love to find out more about my genealogy. I had my DNA analysis done and was surprised by the results. I would love to find out more

My relatives and I have been working on our family tree for a few years now using MyHeritage an FamilyTreeBuilder tools. At this moment we feel though that we hit a few “brick walls”. I am sure that attending the MyHeritage LIVE would be an enormous help. Free conference tickets is the only way we could afford to attend this event, to learn, and to network with similar-minded people! Thank you for the hope.

I would love the opportunity to learn more about processes when you hit walls and how to navigate the various records or maybe lack of records. I have been doing both my and my husbands and have hit snags with adoptions and records that were destroyed

I’d love to go to this event to continue research that my mother and cousin started, but unfortunately did not get to finish because of their unexpected deaths. It would be a thrill to meet new family members and learn new techniques. It would be be a wonderful trip to bond with my daughter and teach her our family history. I wanna go!!

I want to go to my heritage live because I am still a bit skeptical about this DNA process. I have bought the DNA kit and I am a member but I still having a hard time believing the accuracy and understanding my results. It seems more likely the weight of information comes from other people’s family trees.

This is awesome!

I want to become a genealogy expert!

All my life I wanted to know my roots….. I finally did a dna kit and found out I was very Norwegian…. surprise, surprise!!! Now I’m working on my family tree. It’s a very rewarding experience.

I would love to learn more about my roots. As a Hispanic, I am a mix of many things. I know a little about my more immediate relatives, but am at a loss about my distant relatives. Would love to learn when and why they came to the Americas, and from where in Europe.

Genealogy is my passion. Any opportunities to further my research is an opportunity that I welcome. To me, making sure that the foundation of our family – our family’s history – needs to be documented and shared with generations to come!

Wow! What an honour it would be to be chosen to further my
family geneology and compare notes,ideas and learn new digital skills to
enhance our family story and leave a legacy for my descendants.

We would like to go to My Heritage LIVE because we live in New Zealand and my husband John Viseur was born in the Netherlands where the conference is being held this year. Not only would my husband get to see his family again, but he has been actively looking for his family connection and passionately completing his Viseur family research for years. Also knowledge to advance his heritage search

I am surprised at the amount family history you have archived. I am constantly being introduced to a relative from this past century, that before, I had never heard of. thak you for what you do.

That would be amazing to go. My sister and I are really enjoying tracing our family history and getting new skills to enable us to do it better . Also my nephew is living in Rotterdam after getting a scholarship to go to the Eremus University there. I will be able to hopefully visit him as well

To go would be wonderful! My grandmother’s side is from the Netherlands and I’d love to complete a bucket list item that Grandmothers finances wouldn’t allow her to accomplish.

Wow, what an incredible opportunity!!

My daughter and I have had a rough relationship, and I would like this to be an opportunity for us to start rebuilding our lives. We have never been in that part of the world and would like to have more knowledge and experiences that we haven’t been able to afford.
Thank you kindly

As a woman whose roots turned out to be much different than expected, I would love to meet and learn with others of similar interests and hear their stories. Plus, the conference is in beautiful, historic, one of a kind, Amsterdam. Thank you for consideration. Karen

I Love every show that tell the story about people’s Ancestors and Roots. I have submitted my DNA through My Heritage & I’m mostly Iberian, Scandinavian, East European, Nigerian, Central American. Amazed by results. Hopefully their accuracy is correct. Love connecting my Roots.

i want to learn everything i can on discovering my history, mother adopted no luck so far

I would love the opportunity to meet and learn from experts in the field of genetic genealogy! And who wouldn’t love to visit Amsterdam?!

I have recently just done the DNA test myself and awaiting results. I have been so fascinated with my own family history that i have dated back to the 18th century in eastern Europe and the middle east, however i believe there to be so much more rich history to unearth and i hope to be able to relive the memories of my ancestors. To be able to be at this conference and get a true face to face insight on just how MyHeritage helps us obtain these lost memories would be truly astounding.

With My Heritage and DNA the world is a brave new world of discoveries!!

I would love to visit Amsterdam for the first time. It will be a great opportunity to explore, to meet and connect with other folks in my heritage industry for my genealogy research. Thank you!

I have used MyHeritage products for years and would be interesting to connect to others in the MyHeritage community. Plus, it would be wonderful to visit the place of my ancestors since I am of Dutch descent.

I would love to know more being adopted so i dont know much about my family history.

I would love the opportunity to meet with other family history enthusiasts in a country I’ve also been interested in seeing. I would also like to learn more about genealogy at the workshops & lectures.

OMG, I am Australian and will actually Be in Holland at that time visiting my friend! To attend the conference would be absolutely amazing and a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Hello. For years I have been searching my fathers ancestry. His parents came to the US from Finland and I have hit nothing but roadblocks in my search until recently. MyHeritage has opened a crack in the door and I hope attending this conference would help me break the door wide open.

I am pretty green at research, but love finding out the next “gem” in mine and my husband’s family lines. He is 69 now and has been through brain surgery and more recently, open heart surgery. I have dreamed my whole life of knowing who my ancestors are and now with DNA, cherish the fact the we can continually meet new living relatives.
I would LoVE the chance to attend September My Heritage Live. Thank you for the opportunity to come!

I emigrated to Canada from Holland when I was 3 years old in 1954 and would love to go back to Holland and visit some of there relatives that i still have there.

Learning about my ancestry is so much fun so I would like to attend the MyHeritage LIVE conference to learn more about genealogy and how to find out more about my ancestors.

I grew up knowing nothing about my father’s side of the family. Through DNA and research I now know half of his tree but the other is a mystery prior to the late 1800’s. Learning new research techniques will help me and my ‘new’ family in this search for my Scandinavian roots.

I was adopted and have been struggling to find my ancestry information. Please choose me to be a part of this amazing opportunity!

Hi, I would like to learn more of my fathers side. I don’t know anything on his side. I just recently found out who he is or close, but i need to know more, he was born in Oslo Norway, also would like a family tree of that side. Thank you Allen Pambrun

I want to find roots and history where it originated.

To attend a live genealogy conference with world renown genealogists as the speakers/presenter would be a really awesome experience. To be able to rub elbows with expert genealogists and to hear what they have to say and learn tips on how to mine for more records and information would be extremely helpful in my familial searches. I believe that I have traced my family ancestors to Germany – Pfalz area for both Maternal families. As for Paternal families – they derive from Germany and the UK. To be so close to the areas that they derived from prior to emigrating to the US would be wonderful. Maybe a side trip would be necessary after the conference.

With all the great new features that MyHeritage has recently launched, I would love to attend the MyHeritage Live 2019 user conference, a weekend full of workshops and lectures learning hands on is my preferred way of learning and a chance to meet and learn from some of the best of the best in the world of Genealogy, well that’s just a dream come true, not to mention a chance of a life time. If I’m chosen, this would be a great opportunity for me to meet some of my distant cousins (DNA Matches) that live in the Netherlands.

Thank You,

Have been to lots of places in the world but never Amsterdam, and would love to catch up with MyHeritage members!

I have pursued my higher education with a keen interest in biology and genealogy and and as a young person, I think attending this conference will be of great benefit to my passion and pursuit of knowledge. I am also a huge fan of MyHeritage and have persuaded all of my family members to take the test. The results are always eye-opening and quite astounding at times. I think this conference for be an amazing experience for my partner and I, who are big fans of MyHeritage and all that you guys do. It would be an honour to attend.

I have never been to Amsterdam which I hear is an exciting place. I am very interested in learning about ancestry research and how DNA technology is positively impacting culture/society.

As a teacher, I encourage my inmate students to be lifelong learners. This trip would be a wonderful way to share my new knowledge with my classes, and I hope I get to visit the Anne Frank house and museum. I read Anne’s diary as a child and have always wanted to see the attic.

Also, I love tulips and I would love to see the fields of beautiful, colorful tulips. I would also like to try real Dutch food and bakery delights.

I have been interested in my family history for over 50 years from when a relative showed me her family bible, and I sat and copied it all out, I was fascinated and hooked. These days I am using the wonderful DNA matching tools that are available to help find new family members, and help breakdown my brick walls. I would love to meet up with others in the same boat as me, and perhaps get some helpful ideas.

I would love to win as I love researching my family history. Thanks

I think genealogy gives a new perspective to science- it’s changing the whole world. I am very fascinated by getting to know more about latest discoveries and how it all works. I don’t know many people around me to have this kind of knowledge so I really wanna learn more! My brain is asking for it.

I attended the first Myheritage conference in Oslo ( first time in Norway for me) last year out of the great inquisitiveness all we family history researchers share regarding our (shared) past and origins. I had such a good time being immersed in the great pool of likeminded people who shared their fascination in the subject with the great joy of meeting people from all, around the world whom I never would have met without this opportunity. I want to go to Amsterdam ( first time again for me) and meet my new good friend Sylvia from Brazil again and share some silly time on the dance floor as well as “digging up” my ancestors and family tree.

I’ve been working on my tree for about 25 yrs. now. A lot of dead ends and mixed entries. I would love to hear from the experts how to deal with problems in your tree and how to research for the answers. I’ve always wanted to attend one but had no money or no time. I read what I can but there is nothing like going to conference.

Ever since watching the TV series Roots many years ago … I have been fascinated about knowing where I come from. Studies handed down from generations but are they just stories or is there truth somewhere? My DNA results certainly confirmed some of them … I would love the chance to meet & hear all news and updates from the team … Rosie

I’ve always been interested in genealogy since a little girl and joining MyHeritage has been such a blessing and has the wow factor for me. You make it so easy to trace family members and I would like to increase my digital knowledge in this area and talk to others and get good advice for me to continue this interesting journey.

I have gotten a good start on my family tree but am still stumped at how to fill in my unknown fathers side whom I hope to meet someday so I am always looking for new ideas from others, and I always have wanted to see Norway where I have family from who I could never afford to meet..Free tickets are a dream…..

Hi, well I’m new to all of this and the reason why I started my journey is to find family from my fathers side. I have no family history from that side and I would love to know more. This would be an amazing opportunity for me!

Thank you!

I would like to enjoy once again the lectures about new trends in genealogy and meet genealogical soul mates 🙂

I’d love to learn more about the process of family heritage, I’ve been pretty amazed and successfull in finding my family that we all have such a rich history only to be tapped into from First Nations to great nation builders of mounds,cities, traveling from coast to coast that’s why I’d love to attend this event just the chance to learn more about these America’s.

I am adopted so this sounds very interesting to me to possibly find out more about ME

My friend and I really really want to attend but it’s to costly

I’ve joined MyHeritage a little over a year ago and can’t stop searching and making my tree grow, I think I’m addicted…maybe just a little. I can’t imagine learning even more ways to research and be able to talk to others that are addicted just like me. -CSchellert

I’d like to go for a couple of reasons:
My mother always told me I could join the D.A.R. but I am not aware of the lineage to a direct connection to someone serving in the American Revolutionary War. I want to discover that !
#2. I had two great-grandmothers who immigrated, but have limited knowledge of their origin. One (I have been told) was from Germany, and the other from Ireland.

Just beginning my geneology research and was so surprised that I have family history dating back to Switzerland in 1600s’ ! I am sure I would learn so much at thus conference from those who are much more experienced than !

This conference would be an excellent opportunity to better understand how to properly use results within DNA matches. I know it’s not as simple as it might seem.

During this last year I have found my birth father’s family and I am so excited. My husband also just did a DNA test and discovered he has a daughter he never knew about. Genealogy is mind blowing and the greatest thing I have ever stumbled upon. I would love to go to the conference and rub elbows with others that have discovered their roots!

I’ve just recently started exploring my family heritage, and going to MyHeritage live would be a great way to kick-start my research! Plus seeing Amsterdam would be so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Learning my heritage. Hoping to open avenue’s to find birth family

I have family living in Holland near Amsterdam and would like to know more about my DNA results I received from MyHeritage that I can share with them while I am there.

I’m early in my research and am working with other relatives to find our roots. This would be a great opportunity to learn from the best.

I have been obsessed with genealogy for over 30 years. I’ve always said when I retired I was going to devote all my waking hours to it. I retired last June and I’m loving it!!!!!!!!! My husband’s father was adopted by a family member and no one would ever share any details. Unfortunately, my husband lost his father when he was only 10 years old. My daughter’s father was adopted and his bio dad has been located. Deceased, sadly.

I have so much more to learn and I love being a ‘detective.’ I would love to hone my skills in Amsterdam.

P.S. I have my passport. 🙂

Thanks,
Lisa

I would love to explore our family history on a deeper level.

My father had a siblings who disappeared while ww2 in Warsaw. Part of them are found! I am looking for more informations, more skills, more chances, that’s why I would like to be in Amsterdam on your conference.

Have been working on my tree for some time now and have hit many road blocks – this conference could be my real solution – I want to attend – this could be my jackpot!

I am genuinely happy and impressed about my origins of my life line. I was very thrilled to know of my many different ethinicities. I am willing to gather and learn more in-depth information about where my heritage’s come from.Therefore I am willing to take the next step to advance in learning how I became, who I am genetically.

My great grandfather was from Italy. He came to the U.S. to find a better life. He ended up working in the West Virginia coal mines and died in a coal mine accident in 1910. We have only one photo and very little information about him. I would love to find out more about his Italian heritage. I need all the help I can get as genealogy research is fairly new to me. This would be a fantastic opportunity for my family to attend this conference.

I am extremely excited about the prospect of attending your conference. I can feel your desire to help us individuality and collectively gather our ancestors into our trees and into our lives. Thank you for all the hard work you’ve done to help us in finding our families. My wife has strong ties to the Norwegian people so it would be an honor to learn more about them and their culture in person. Thanks again

My father was very interested in learning about his heritage but passed away before any of the research websites became available. My mother knew how important this would have been to him and that is why I began my research about 10 years ago. I was able to find out many details that she found fascinating on both her and my father’s side before she passed away a few years ago and I know my research meant the world to her. I have since then asked several of my siblings and an Uncle to do a DNA test for my research and they have provided me with samples that both comfirmed and surprised us about what we thought we knew from stories handed down to us. I would like to have a better understanding of the DNA tests that we have done and find other ways of researching our ancestorial lines over in England and Ireland. I feel closer to my parents when I do this research and I find it fascinating and sometimes overwhelming. I feel like I have reached the end of what I can accomplish but I know that there is more that can be done with a better understanding of what is available to me and what it all means. Thank you.

I am exploring my family tree, and have found many Dutch ancestors. Last year, having discovered that a near ancestor was a WW2 resistance hero, sadly captured and shot, and that a memorial service was being held in his home town, I journeyed from my home in Oregon, USA to attend. It was far more money than the family could afford, but we made it work. The ceremony was such a moving time, and I met his son and some other relatives for the first time. Unfortunately, I became ill, could not walk, and instead of meeting further relatives for the first time, had to endure an emergency trip home, cutting short my trip. I am 73, retired, and we can probably never afford to get me back to Europe, but this is an opportunity to visit Amsterdam that I cannot overlook. Thank you.

Great opportunity to learn more skills.

It would be interesting and amazing to help find some tools to expand my knowledge on my family and how to learn more seeing as how I have been working for a few years to find all the necessary information to apply for dual citizenship!

I want to go to MyHeritage Live so that I can learn more about building family trees, linking DNA to them, and understanding how to separate paternal and maternal DNA in our matches. I would also like to learn about history.

Genealogy is my passion. It looks like a great opportunity to learn something new about genealogy.

I’m very into genealogy I Love looking up family for me and others. I find it very interesting.

My family and I would LOVE to find out our roots on our mother’s side!

Did my DNA through Ancestry. Com would love to know more about my roots.

I have reached a stand still on several ancestry searchers. It would be a wonderful experience to learn new skills.

I have Dutch ancestry dating back to the 1600s at least. I would love to have the opportunity to learn more about my ancestors. But my biggest challenge is tracing ancestors on my father’s side, which has been most difficult (Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia) and of my maternal grandfather (Schleswig-Holstein). Also, my wife wants to trace Jewish relatives from eastern Europe.

I would love to go and take my biological sister … I was adopted she even bought me a DNA kit .. We love trying to find out about out heritage

I hope to learn techniques that will help me identify my unknown paternal grandfather.

I am 67 y.o. and have spent
Since my 21st birthday actively seeking my biological family. This past few years, I had DNA done with Ancestry and 23 and Me. It was not until My Heritage that the world opened up. I had a phone call a few months back from my 1/2 sister ( 1 of 3 on my mothers side) when the end of this long long journey, is now bringing me peace. I have yet to meet any of my maternal family in
person . I have met an Aunt on my father’s side, she has different father then my father. Just still wanting to see and find everyone still living, so that I might be able to a family tree, not to mention health history to my 1st grandchild. No one that has not been adopted, will ever know the hole in my heart everytime in my life I answered the “health history” question with, “I
have no information” made it bigger…every time I gave birth (4), it made my incompleteness surface. I want to learn as much as possible and maybe help others do the same.Maybe all of the few I have found would join me at your event.

Since beginning my search for ancestors, my curiosity has been stricken and I would love to meet others and learn more about DNA, heritage, etc. I would also like to go to Amsterdam!

A great opportunity to learn more about genealogy.

World War 11, Convict transportation to Australia, the settlement of the British Colony of Virginia, the Mutitiny on the Bounty and the whalers of New Zealand all impacted my family tree.
Without My Heritage I doubt that I would ever had know that places around the world that I have visited had living relatives on mine.

I want to know who I am.

My husband and I both have strong Norwegian heritage and would love the opportunity to see where we came from. Winning would be a dream come true.

I have been researching my family history for years. MyHeritage has been the most important and efficient site for that research. I am sure the MyHeritage LIVE conference will give me a better overview and insight over current genealogical tools and possibilities. The exchange of experiences with other researchers is also a thrilling idea. I am looking forward to it!
Best regards
Michael

Hi! I would love to attend this event as I am so interested in this science and would like to know more and more about it! Winning would be such an honor!!
Thank you

MyHeritage LIVE offers me the chance of a lifetime to avail myself of a battery of new ideas and information through inspiringly led lectures and carefully selected workshops. This would be my first visit to a conference of this type, seeking to further my family history genealogy research through up-to-date and ever-evolving DNA technology.

What a wonderful prize indeed!

I would like to attend as history a genealogy fascinate me.

I would like win a ticket for the conference in Amsterdam. First because I have a premium account and I’m a beginner in research and in need of expert tools. Second reason it is my birthday in September 10 and it will be my best gift.

I’ve come up against some brick walls and would like ideas how to continue searching for real data

Because I decided to research my ancestry as the time of the Brexit vote to see how European I am, and was delighted (and surprised!) to find that I am 100% European, of which I am 48% Scottish and Irish but 0% English. This intrigued me and I would like to know more.

Through My Heritage I learned about my Sephardic Jewish heritage and when I discussed it with my parents, my Mom said that she had always known her father was Jewish but didn’t want to share it with her children or extended family. Wow, what a shock ! I would love to find out more, especially about those family members who died in the Holocaust. I am 74 years old and feel as if I am in a “rush” to learn all I can to share with my children. My Heritage has opened up my world !

Several branches of my tree contain generations of great grandmothers and grandfathers from Amsterdam, and I’d love to see this gorgeous and historic city where they once lived. Winning tickets would be an amazing chance to learn more about genealogy and my ancestors! Thank you.

Thank you MyHeritage.com for the opportunity to be chosen to attend Roots Tech 2019. My sister and are working very hard to learn all we can about our heritage, and it is so exciting. Our parents died when we were teenagers in 1967 and, of course, genealogy was a word rarely spoken. As teenagers the last thing you cared about was learning or even hearing anything about the “old people dead or alive” in our family. What a shame that was, and the very few relatives I even know about are still alive. It took us until 1999 to really get fascinated by the adventures of our ancestors. To me attending Roots Tech 2019 would open up so much of the genealogy world, discovering relatives we didn’t even know existed and all the things we wished we had asked our parents about when they were alive. It’s so important to teach future generations what our heritage is all about. Thank you. Judith Sparrow

I have become interested in discovering my ancestry in the past year. I did my DNA to help my Mom discover how much Native American we have. A few months later a second cousin reached out and asked why we didn’t know each other. My Father was adopted and the records sealed. Through DNA I have found my Father’s birth parents and have gotten to know my first and second cousins on my Father’s side. I was even fortunate enough to met his half brother shortly before he passed away in October 2018. I have a computer background and have become facinated by DNA. I really would like to learn more about the chromosomes and triangulated segments. I hope you select me to attend your conference for free.

After receiving the DNA results of “My Heritage”and having no immediate family(deceased),I would like the opportunity to attend the conference in Amsterdam to further my search for extended family.Neither my husband or I have any grandchildren,nieces or nephews, so I am currently on a mission to connect with distant cousins out-of-state . This opportunity would help us create a FAMILY!
Thank You….

Proud to have learned through My Heritage that I am of 4 backgrounds. I was happy to hear I am 77.7 percent Irish !
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day !

All my ancestor’s came from overseas and it would be nice to find their Roots on their own soil. I love learning about our family history. Although I am not very good at doing family history work. I type with one finger and everything takes forever.

Would love to take in an event of this type for the first time. I have a number of Irish/Scottish/English/Ukrainian/Polish/German ancestors to search and can’t think of a better place to start! I have heard so many good things about Roots Tech but would love to learn more of what is available and how to research on the ‘other side of the pond’ to identify and locate additional ancestors as well as possibly locate and connect with descendants of my ancestors. What an unbelievable opportunity this would be!

Both my wife and I believe we have relatives from the low countries. In addition, as a result of family research my youngest brother did, it seems highly likely that relatives living in Belgium came over to the U.S.A. on the Mayflower. We would like to be able to confirm that.

I would love to go because as a novice to genealogy, I could learn so much!

It would be a brilliant new experience of learning workshops, lectures and information on genealogy by attending the MyHeritage Live Conference in Amsterdam 2019

I would love to win a free trip to the next conference !! My husband and I attended the Oslo event, and loved it.!
One thing I would like for the event to offer is a DNA match “hook up”. Let me explain!
After returning home, I discovered that I had 25 dna matches in Norway. Some of my relatives may have been there as well, and i never knew it. I would have loved to have had the opportunity to meet them.
Please offer a “Meet your matches” session at the next event. Thank you soo much!
#Amsterdam
would have been

I would like to attend this event as my family roots are from Europe and I would love to explore them.

I’m desperate to chart my Irish family to see if I have living cousins I can get to know. Finding my ancestors before they came to America is proving troublesome.

I want to go! I love MyHeirtage. I have been on it for at least 10 years and compiled a family Tree of more than 8,000. My husband and I have taken the DNA test with MH. I am on the MH site every day, adding, correcting, editing etc. It’s also great that Geni is now consolidated with MH since I have at least 2,000 direct relatives in Geni and the information crosses over. My ancestry is 100% Askenazi whereas my husband is not Jewish and searching for his ancestors in Russia and Poland has not been easy. I attended the Jewish Genealogy Conference in Warsaw, August 2018, and traveled to all the cities, towns, villages in Poland and Slovakia where I have roots. Unfortunately, I am not an expert in either genealogy or DNA, so I have to spend a lot of time trying different methods for my research, trying to comprehend DNA matches etc. I would be delighted to win the tickets. I would love to meet your staff experts and meet all those for whom genealogy is a passion, history, and pursuit of the truth.
Best and thanks.

Okay sign me up for drawing,

My great grandfather was our family historian. I have inherited his notes, letters and charts. I am trying to put this together to make a book. I retired at the end of the year and getting very much into this. Every week or so I am attending seminars thru local groups or at local libraries. I have learned a lot but more knowledge is needed before I attempt to write this book.

if you can help me trace my roots ,i would truly appreciate it very much , see i dont know to much about my family tree and as achild it wasn’ talk about very much see i never knew or known my grand parents on my father side except my big mama( father’s mom) and she never talk about my grand father or his family, and i am trying to put together what i have for my children so hey can know where they came from or who they apart of ,so if i can do this before i leave this earth than my childrencan say that i give them somrthing to remember me by and also i want them to know their people so they wont wined up getting with them, so please help me with this dream/ wish. thanks very much for your time and reading my notation, Blessing to you, Ms Washington

It would be the opportunity of a lifetime

What an awesome opportunity to network with others and learn more about researching my heritage. It would be awesome to hear the guest speakers as well. I would love to learn more about my Irish heritage from my father’s side of the family – surname “Carroll” and also from my mothers side of the family I have been told that my grandfather’s mother was a Cherokee Indian Native. I would love to trace both family lines to learn more about my lineage and what traits I may have inherited from them. Thank you for the opportunity to enter for the free tickets.

I’m adopted and have been searching for my family for the last 2 years. Since I recently found a cousin (he’s not adopted) via my heritage (he took a test on a whim) and I won the lottery in a sense as it’s really lucky that I found him…it would have been almost impossible to find my family without him as I have no records whatsoever of my biological family. So going to this conference would be amazing to look into dna more and what it holds. Plus I live in Amsterdam!

Thought I was an only child in a tiny family. Found a brother and hundreds of relatives. I’m so happy. Thank u

I would like to go as my partner and I are fascinated by our DNA results, and it would be such a fun, educational adventure!

I would like to find the history of my family where it all again

I just found my birth mother after searching for years. I am 68 and she placed me in adoption at 6 months. It turns out that she lives 90 miles from me. The remarkable event is that I was adopted in Frankfort, Germany by an American couple. She emigrated to Canada from Germany in 1952. She married an American she had met in Germany and they moved to Houston. I reunited with her this March (2019) as my travels and work ended in Lumberton , Texas which is 90 miles from Houston. I now have a new family. I have a baby sister, and brother also. Truly a miracle we were living so close with all of our travels.

It would be very exciting to be there at the My Heritage Conference as and would be interesting to know more about My Heritage. Also, Amsterdam is a wonderful place to see 🙂

My father died in Vietnam. It was such a tragic event for my mom, that it is too painful to talk about. What I know about my dad, has come from other family members and my dad’s fraternity brothers. My mom too did not know her real dad. In fact, she didn’t find out until she was 30 years old, that her father was not her real father. My history is somewhat like putting together a puzzle. I have the border put together, but I am earnestly working on filling in those hard to fit pieces. I have learned a lot in the process of building my family tree and I owe a tremendous gratitude to My Heritage for helping me to complete my puzzle. I would love nothing more than to continue this journey in Amsterdam! I still have so much to learn!
