 A new era in genetic genealogy: MyHeritage introduces Whole Genome Sequencing for its DNA test kits I’m thrilled to share some major news from MyHeritage: as of today, MyHeritage is the first major consumer DNA company to adopt whole genome sequencing (WGS) for its DNA test kits. In partnership with Ultima Genomics and processed at the Gene by Gene lab, this transition marks a turning point in how consumer DNA testing is done — with far richer data and greater potential for discovery. What Is Whole Genome Sequencing, and Why It MattersTraditional consumer DNA tests (including MyHeritage until now) use genotyping arrays that read about 700,000 selected positions (single-nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) in your genome. In contrast, WGS reads almost the entire human genetic code — roughly 3 billion base pairs (nucleotides). In short: much more data. Here’s why that matters:
MyHeritage confirms that kits already processed via the older genotyping method will not be reprocessed by WGS. Only new kits (or ones currently in the lab pipeline) will use the new approach. Customers whose kits are WGS-based will receive the full genome download automatically. Importantly, MyHeritage emphasizes that it will not license or sell customer data to third parties — privacy and data protection remain core commitments. What to Expect — Practical Tips & PerspectiveAs genealogists, this development is exciting but also calls for careful expectations and informed use. Here are a few thoughts and tips:
Why This Is a Milestone for Genetic GenealogyFrom a genealogical perspective, breaking the barrier of genotyping into full-genome territory is a major turning point. Over the years, we’ve been limited by how many SNPs a chip can assay; we’ve faced missing segments, “no-call” zones, unclear matches. WGS offers the possibility to detect smaller shared segments, rare variants, and genealogical clues previously inaccessible. Also, having access to full-genome downloads totally empowers serious users and researchers to layer in their own analyses, cross-compare results, or use emerging tools as they come online. It also encourages the DNA testing industry to raise the bar for accuracy, transparency, and data quality. This is why I believe today’s announcement is more than a marketing move — it marks a shift in expectations for how consumer DNA can support meticulous genealogy. What You Can Do Right Now
I’ll be watching closely as users unpack how WGS changes what we can do in genetic genealogy. Stay tuned — more insights will emerge as this unfolds!

 MyHeritage expands Cousin Finder: Discover cousins for any ancestor in your tree, without a DNA test Earlier this year, I shared the exciting news about MyHeritage’s Cousin Finder™ in Discover Your Cousins Without a DNA Test: MyHeritage's New Cousin Finder Tool, a feature that helps you discover and connect with blood relatives—all without a DNA test. Since then, it has quickly become a favorite tool among genealogists for uncovering new family connections. And now, MyHeritage has announced an important update that makes Cousin Finder even more powerful! What’s New? With this new update, you’re no longer limited to running Cousin Finder for yourself. You can now explore cousin results for any individual in your family tree. That means you can:
Why This Matters This new functionality adds a fresh layer of depth to Cousin Finder. Instead of only seeing your own connections, you can now: ✔ Target specific ancestors or family lines when focusing your research. ✔ Complement DNA testing by identifying cousins who haven’t tested but share your ancestor. ✔ Simplify Smart Matches™ by filtering them into a clear list of true cousins. ✔ Strengthen collaboration by connecting with relatives who share your research interests. How to Access the Update The update is available now and is free to use. Just go to the profile page of any individual in your family tree and select Cousin Finder™. You’ll then see a list of their cousins, complete with relationship paths and options to connect. As always, contacting relatives requires a MyHeritage subscription, but viewing the cousin lists is free. Final Thoughts This update makes Cousin Finder an even more versatile genealogy tool. Whether you want to confirm a line of research, explore your spouse’s side of the family, or connect with cousins from a distant branch, you now have a focused way to do it. If you haven’t tried Cousin Finder yet, now is a perfect time to start. And if you’re already using it, this new feature will open even more doors for collaboration and discovery. Who knows which cousins—and stories—you’ll uncover next?

6/29/2025 LiveMemory™ Now Available on the MyHeritage Website: Bring Your Photos to Life—Right From Your DesktopRead Now  A cherished holiday memory brought to life: MyHeritage’s LiveMemory™ feature now available on the web If you’ve ever wished you could step inside a treasured family photograph, MyHeritage is making that dream even more accessible. After a successful launch on the MyHeritage mobile app last November, LiveMemory™—a tool that transforms still photos into short, lifelike video clips—is now available directly on the MyHeritage website. As part of the MyHeritage Friends program, I had the opportunity to preview the new web-based version of LiveMemory™ ahead of its release. I’m excited to now share that this powerful feature is officially available for everyone to use--no mobile app required! What Is LiveMemory™?LiveMemory™ uses advanced AI to animate entire scenes from old photographs. Unlike earlier tools that focused on facial animation alone, LiveMemory™ takes it to the next level by bringing movement and subtle action to the whole scene. A photo of your grandmother at her sewing machine, a child at the beach, or a birthday celebration frozen in time—LiveMemory™ reimagines those moments in motion. Since its launch, over half a million animations have been created by users all over the world. It’s been moving, emotional, and inspiring to see family memories animated with such heart. What’s New with the Web Version?The newly released desktop version of LiveMemory™ includes several exciting additions:
How to Use LiveMemory™ on the WebGetting started is simple:
A Few of My Own LiveMemory™ TrialsAs part of the MyHeritage Friends group, I had early access to LiveMemory™ and tested it out on a variety of photos—some with more natural results than others. I found that clear, close-up portraits tended to work best with the AI animations, especially when the subjects were facing the camera. Here are a few examples from my own family photo collection that I tried using the new web-based version of LiveMemory™: Grandma with Her Two Young Sons (Circa 1944) This sweet black-and-white photo features my grandmother holding my father and uncle on her lap. The LiveMemory™ animation gently brought out movement in my grandmother’s expression and added a lifelike quality to the scene—like stepping into a quiet afternoon in the 1940s. A Visit with Santa (Circa 1955–1957) This charming snapshot shows my mother as a child sitting on Santa Claus’s lap at a department store during the holidays. The LiveMemory™ animation gave the scene a subtle sparkle of holiday magic—adding a little laughter and movement as if he were asking her want she wanted for Christmas. Christmas Morning (Circa 1962) Here’s one from my mother’s teenage years—she’s about 14 in this photo, sitting in front of the family’s Christmas tree with her three younger brothers. This busy holiday snapshot translated surprisingly well with LiveMemory™, adding a flicker of excitement and animation to what was clearly a joyful, gift-filled morning. Three Generations in One Frame (Circa early 1950s) This family group photo includes my father as a boy of about 10, along with his older sister, her husband and their baby, my grandfather, and one of my dad’s older brothers. The LiveMemory™ animation added subtle gestures that made it feel like a candid moment from a family gathering rather than just a posed portrait. Why Try LiveMemory™?LiveMemory™ isn’t just a novelty—it’s an emotional, sometimes breathtaking experience. For genealogists, family historians, and anyone curious about the past, it offers a new way to connect with ancestors and loved ones on a deeper level. Whether you’re creating clips to share at a family reunion or using them to inspire the next generation’s interest in family history, this tool adds something fresh and powerful to your storytelling toolbox. Final ThoughtsThe new web release of LiveMemory™ makes this feature more accessible than ever before. Whether you’re revisiting photos you’ve animated before or trying something new with one of the creative effects, it’s the perfect time to explore how technology can deepen our connection to the past. Give it a try on the MyHeritage website, and don’t forget to share your results using #MyHeritage and #LiveMemory. I’d love to hear what moments you’ve brought to life!

 MyHeritage’s New Cousin Finder Feature Makes Finding Relatives Easier One of the biggest joys in genealogy is making connections—finding long-lost relatives, collaborating with family members, and discovering shared ancestry. MyHeritage has just made that process even easier with their newest tool, Cousin Finder. This innovative feature helps you identify and connect with relatives who share your ancestors—all without taking a DNA test! What Is Cousin Finder? Cousin Finder is a brand-new feature exclusive to MyHeritage that uses the power of family tree matches to identify your blood relatives. It builds upon MyHeritage’s Smart Matches, which compare your family tree with millions of others to find overlapping ancestors. But rather than leaving you to sift through endless matches, Cousin Finder does the work for you, automatically pinpointing the relatives who share a direct ancestral connection with you. How Does It Work? To take advantage of Cousin Finder, you’ll need a family tree on MyHeritage that includes Smart Matches with other trees. The more detailed your tree, the better your results will be! Here’s how it works:
Why This Matters for Genealogists For years, DNA testing has been a key tool in identifying unknown relatives. But not everyone has taken a DNA test, and not every match provides a clear relationship path. Cousin Finder fills this gap by using well-researched family trees to build connections based on documented lineage. Here’s why it’s a game-changer: ✅ Find cousins who haven’t taken a DNA test – Many genealogists have extensive trees but haven’t tested their DNA. Now, you can connect with them based on shared ancestry alone. ✅ See exactly how you’re related – Unlike DNA matches, which can sometimes be unclear, Cousin Finder provides a definitive relationship path based on family trees. ✅ Collaborate with newfound relatives – Once you find a cousin, you can message them (with a MyHeritage subscription) to share information, exchange records, and fill in missing branches of your tree. ✅ Expand your tree faster – Learning from relatives who have researched different branches of your family can help you uncover new generations, stories, and connections. How Is It Different from Smart Matches and DNA Matches? While Smart Matches highlight possible connections between trees, they can be overwhelming because of the large amount. Cousin Finder simplifies the process by extracting only your confirmed relatives, making it easier to focus on meaningful connections. Unlike DNA matches, which rely on genetic relationships, Cousin Finder works from family trees. While tree-based research requires verification, it offers a clearer picture of exactly how you’re related—something DNA alone can’t always provide. Getting Started with Cousin Finder You'll find Cousin Finder under the Discoveries drop-down, and it's free to use for all MyHeritage users, though reaching out to matches requires a subscription. It’s currently available on the MyHeritage website and mobile browsers, with app support coming soon. If you already have a tree on MyHeritage, now is the perfect time to explore Cousin Finder and see just how many cousins you have waiting to be discovered. And if you don’t have a tree yet—what are you waiting for? This tool makes it easier than ever to build, grow, and connect your family history.

 MyHeritage Updated DNA Ethnicity Estimates with the New v2.5 Model MyHeritage Ethnicity Estimate v2.5: A Game-Changer in DNA Ethnicity Estimates The long-awaited update to MyHeritage’s DNA ethnicity model is finally here! Ethnicity Estimate v2.5 has officially launched, bringing a higher-resolution breakdown of ethnic origins and nearly doubling the number of ethnicities identified—from 42 to 79. As a MyHeritage Friend, I was granted early access to test this update before its public release, and I’m excited to share my thoughts and personal experience with my new results. What’s New in Ethnicity Estimate v2.5? The new model is a major leap forward from the previous version (v0.95), which had been in use for years. Here are some of the key highlights:
Why the Update Took So Long MyHeritage initially planned to roll out an updated model (v2) in mid-2024 but chose not to fully launch it after early feedback revealed areas for improvement. Instead, they went back to the drawing board, refined their algorithms, and developed v2.5. The extra time paid off, as user feedback on v2.5 has been significantly more positive compared to both v0.95 and the incomplete v2 model. While no ethnicity model is ever perfect, MyHeritage is committed to continued improvements and acknowledges that some ethnicities, such as Maasai and Sierra Leonean, were removed due to insufficient training data. However, these could make a return in future updates as more reference samples become available. My Old vs. New Ethnicity Estimates Before updating to Ethnicity Estimate v2.5, my results were as follows:  My v0.95 MyHeritage DNA Ethnicity Results After opting into the new model, my updated results changed to:  My v2.5 MyHeritage DNA Ethnicity Results My Thoughts on My New Estimates The update brought some interesting changes to my results! One of the most noticeable differences is the complete disappearance of my African ancestry, which was previously estimated at 6.3% (North African and Nigerian). I never fully agreed with that high percentage in the first place, but since every other DNA testing company shows 1-2% for me and my mom, and I see similar levels of African ancestry in matches from one particular line on my mom’s paternal side, I expected to still see a trace of it. Its absence makes me question whether the new model overcorrected or whether my original result was inflated. Another significant change is the sharp increase in my Scottish and Welsh percentage, now at 36.6%, making it my largest category. While I do have strong Scottish ancestry, I wasn’t expecting it to be that dominant compared to my English percentage, which has now dropped from 49.1% to 24.3%. I’m also intrigued by the introduction of Breton (3.6%) and Dutch (5.3%), which weren’t detected in my earlier results but could align with known migration patterns in my family history. As for my family, my mom’s new results seem fairly accurate, and my uncle’s estimate looks spot on. But for my own ethnicity estimate, I’m still on the fence. I love the increased regional specificity, but I’m not entirely convinced by some of the percentage shifts. One feature I particularly appreciate is the ability to switch between v0.95 and v2.5 at any time. This flexibility is helpful for those who may feel attached to their previous results while still allowing them to explore the new data. My mom's old estimates vs her new estimates:

Final Thoughts The launch of Ethnicity Estimate v2.5 is an exciting milestone for MyHeritage users, offering a more refined, detailed, and accurate picture of their ancestral origins.

 MyHeritage Updates: Reliving Family Memories with MyHeritage’s Latest AI Innovation, LiveMemory Reliving Family Memories with MyHeritage’s LiveMemoryWhen it comes to family history, photographs hold incredible power. They capture moments frozen in time, allowing us to get a glimpse into the lives and stories of our loved ones. But what if those moments could come alive, offering a richer and more emotional connection to the past? That’s exactly what MyHeritage’s newest feature, LiveMemory, aims to do. This AI-driven tool breathes life into still photos, animating scenes to create short video clips that feel like stepping back in time. As an early tester, I couldn’t wait to dive in and see how it worked with some of my cherished family photos. While the results varied, the emotional impact was undeniable. Here are a few examples from my collection, along with thoughts on this exciting new feature. Bringing My Family’s Photos to Life *Note: Next to each photo, I’ve included the animated video created with MyHeritage LiveMemory so you can see the transformation in action. The results showcase the potential of this new feature to turn still moments into dynamic memories. 1. Boxing Brothers (Circa 1950) One of my favorite photos of my father and his brother captures a playful moment in their childhood. Wearing boxing gloves and sparring in the yard, the scene is full of energy and sibling camaraderie. With LiveMemory, the photo was transformed into an animated clip that reimagined the movement of their playful punches and added a dynamic, lively feel to this treasured memory.
2. Lunch Counter Vacation (Circa 1950-1951) This one shows my grandparents with my aunt as a toddler, seated on bar stools at what looks like a lunch counter during a family vacation. My grandparents’ smiles and my aunt’s curiosity shine through the still image, but with LiveMemory, the scene was reanimated with subtle movements—my aunt wriggling slightly on her stool and my grandmother gesturing mid-laugh. It was as if I’d been transported to that moment in their lives.
3. A Fountain of Laughter (Circa 1951-1952)Another treasured photo shows my father as a mischievous boy, goofing off by my great-grandmother’s front-yard fountain—a fountain notorious in the family for its ability to “christen” grandchildren who fell into it. LiveMemory turned this snapshot into a whimsical video clip, capturing the joy and silliness of my father’s antics.
4. Beachside Bliss (Circa 1972-1973) One of my most nostalgic family photos features my mother, my sister, and me at the beach. My sister and I, then six and three, were savoring ice cream cones while taking a break from playing in the sand. The LiveMemory animation brought this scene to life with happenings in the background and a touch of movement as we posed mid-lick with our cones. How did MyHeritage know that my sister was full of mischievous antics, always picking on me, haha?!
5. Coffee Shop Elegance (1981) This final photo is a personal favorite of my mom, seated at a coffee shop in an outfit that made her look like a businesswoman, even though she wasn’t. With her coffee cup in hand and an air of casual sophistication, the LiveMemory animation enhanced the scene with her chatting away, while drinking her cup of coffee. The result was subtle but deeply moving, especially since she just passed away a few years ago and I miss her deeply.
The Hits and Misses of LiveMemoryLiveMemory isn’t perfect—yet. While some animations were magical, others were more humorous surprises. For example, in one animation, the AI misinterpreted my photo, replacing my father and uncle with children of a completely different ethnicity! While it was amusing, it underscored that this feature is still in its early stages. Despite these quirks, I found LiveMemory to be a compelling tool with immense potential. It’s clear that as the technology improves, the results will only get better. Why You Should Try LiveMemoryIf you’re passionate about family history, LiveMemory is a must-try. It offers a unique way to engage with your photos, sparking nostalgia and deepening your emotional connection to your ancestors. Plus, it’s a fantastic tool for sharing your family stories with others, whether at reunions, online, or in your personal genealogy projects. Here’s how to get started and try it for FREE:
Final Thoughts While LiveMemory is still a work in progress, it’s an inspiring glimpse into the future of genealogy tools. It’s a reminder of how technology can bring our family histories closer, making the past feel detailed and alive. I can’t wait to see how this feature evolves and what stories it will help us tell in the years to come. Have you tried LiveMemory yet?
