MyHeritage Offer

UPDATE: Both the folks at MyHeritage and myself have been pleased with the response to the email message I sent a few days ago (shown below). I then asked the folks at MyHeritage if they would extend the offer for a few more days. They responded, "Sure!"
In short, if you missed the sign-up period for the first mailing, you can now take advantage of this lower price until Sunday, May 27. That's right, you have 5 more days to take advantage of this amazing price offered exclusively to EOGN readers.
I am enclosing the original message below although I did update it with the new expiration date. Again, the MyHeritage Complete subscription gives you access to the best collection of genealogy resources available.





The following is an offer from Dick Eastman.

"Dear EOGN reader,


I don't often send messages about bargain prices on various products or services. However, this is one time I believe it is news worth sharing.

Our friends at MyHeritage are offering their Complete subscription for an amazing price exclusively to EOGN readers for only 5 days... now extended until Sunday, May 27. The MyHeritage Complete subscription gives you access to the best collection of genealogy resources available.

Get 50% off a MyHeritage Complete subscription now
*Offer valid for NEW MyHeritage subscribers only

MyHeritage is one of the most powerful online genealogy services available today. The more I use MyHeritage features like the historical record search engine with 9 billion records from around the world, the family tree Consistency Checker, and the Chromosome Browser, the more I love the site. I am especially impressed with how they keep adding features in response to demand from users, like the Pedigree Tree view that they recently released. It’s refreshing to see a company that cares about its users and listens to what they want!

The fact that MyHeritage is designed by genealogists, for genealogists is very much reflected in the online service and especially through their frequent updates and improvements. To get full access to all 9 billion historical records and the ability to add information you find — or automatic discoveries that MyHeritage makes for you — to your unlimited family tree, get the Complete subscription. MyHeritage adds millions of new historical records each month so there’s always more to discover. One cool example is the biggest yearbook collection anywhere where you might find your own relatives alongside Hillary, Sally, Brad, and Meryl above! Other interesting and important collections include the 1939 UK registers; exclusive Ellis Island records that no one else has ever indexed; and millions of U.S. newspapers that we add every month.

Hurry, this offer is good for 5 days only... for 5 more days! Offer now expires Tuesday, May 22, 2018 Sunday, May 27, 2018."
