Even when I am not in attendance at a big conference, institute, or seminar, I do appreciate receiving a press release from various societies and companies that had big announcements, discoveries, or other news from the event. I don’t always have time to get the news out to my readers, but I do try. The points below are from MyHeritage and their Keynote address at RootsTech.
- 20 billion records — we recently reached the significant milestone of 20 billion historical records available on MyHeritage!
- All-new profile pages with hints — a major enhancement to the profile pages on MyHeritage including the ability to see and add new details from matches in the context of the page. Read more here.
- OldNews.com — a whole new website for exploring historical newspapers from all over the world. Read more here.
- Coming soon: AI photo scanner on the MyHeritage mobile app — the smart scanner previously available only on the Reimagine app will be added to the MyHeritage mobile app very soon.
- Coming soon: share your DNA results with an expert — the ability to share your DNA results securely with a DNA expert to help you with your results will soon be added.
- Coming soon: Ethnicity Estimates 2.0 — a major upgrade to our ethnicity estimate model will be released in the summer of 2024
March 10: “By the way, the special promotion we had going for DNA data uploads — offering free access to Ethnicity Estimates and advanced DNA tools to anyone who uploads a new DNA data file to MyHeritage — has been extended until March 10.”
Be sure to sign up to receive electronic newsletters or blog announcements from the various genealogy companies and societies. It’s a great way to keep up and not miss special sales or news. https://blog.myheritage.com/2024/03/rootstech-2024-recap/
