MyHeritage Launches All-New Profile Pages With Hints

MyHeritage Launches All-New Profile Pages With Hints: The profile page is among the most visited pages on MyHeritage, and is one of the most valuable ones for genealogists. Many users requested that we add additional capabilities to the page. You asked, and we listened! Today we are proud to release the result: the all-new profile pages. This is a whole new experience that is more than just a single page; it’s a centralized hub for everything known about a person.

This major enhancement includes a more organized layout and cool features to help you maximize your discoveries about your ancestors and relatives. We’ve also added Hints, which are a unique, highly useful way of presenting new details from your matches within the context of an individual profile. The profile pages remain free and are now more useful than ever!

The new profile pages are available on the MyHeritage website on desktop. We will soon add Hints to the MyHeritage mobile app as well.

We would like to extend our thanks to the MyHeritage team that developed the new profile pages. A special thank you goes to Uri Gonen who was instrumental both in creating a vision for this project and bringing it to fruition.

MyHeritage Launches All-New Profile Pages With Hints: Accessing the Profile Pages

You can access the profile pages from many areas in the MyHeritage website, including from the different family tree views, the Discoveries section, My Photos, when viewing DNA Matches and Smart Matches™, and more. Below, we show examples for the two most popular ones.

To access the profile of an individual from the family tree, visit your tree and click the name of the person you wish to research. This opens the left panel of the tree. In the left panel, click the “Profile” icon, marked below in red.

MyHeritage Launches All-New Profile Pages With Hints: Introducing Hints

Hints are an important and useful new addition to the profile pages, and they appear in the Details tab whenever they are available.

MyHeritage’s Smart Matching™ and Record Matching technologies reveal valuable new information about individuals in your family tree by matching your family tree to billions of historical records and millions of other family trees. However, managing Smart Matches™ and Record Matches can be overwhelming and time-consuming. They typically offer many new details, but unless you go through them one-by-one, there’s a chance you might miss important clues to help you reach that next breakthrough discovery for an individual you care about the most. Hints overcome this challenge by taking the new information provided by your existing matches and displaying it in context, directly within the profile, and emphasizing exactly which new information those matches can add to your family tree.

Hints rely on the same matching technology you know from Smart Matches™ and Record Matches, but package it in a new way that focuses on the new information that you don’t have, for the individual whose profile you are now viewing. Hints surface the matches that are available to you and can enrich your tree in three very important ways: by adding more complete life events, more complete details for life events already listed in the tree, such as a birthplace or birth date, or revealing new relatives.
